Letters to Aunt Laurie From Nephervs and Nieces
BUILT CASTLE IN THE SAND
TO AMUSE BABY SISTER
SECOND PRIZE


Dear Aunt Laurie:
Hl HE day after the Fourth of July
it was very hot. AS 1 was lying
. Il ir bed in the morning 1 thought,
"Now today l must be as cheerful ana
kind as possible for everyone will be
tired and cross"
After we finished the work mamma
said we might do as we pleased, but l
think that is a very hard proposition
some times.
I thought / would read my book,
which few days before had seemed
very interesting, but it was impos-
sible. [ could not get seated comfort
ably in a chair and it was too hot to
lie on the bed. After reading few
pages l fell asleep.
An hour afterward I was awakened
by a terrible noise in the next room.
l got up to see what 1t was and found
that my small brother and sister were
PLAYING house. Such sighti They
had taken all the old clothes out of
the store room and had strewn them
on the floor in order to get what they
wanted The noise which aWoke me
was my brother endeaVoring to lift a
suit case, which was filled with OLD
literature. In the attempt he hao
dropped it ON his toe.
At sight of this confusion I lost my
temper and felt worse than If L had
not slept at ALL To make amends
tried to get dinner, but the potatoes
boiled dry and burned mammals new
aluminium kettle.
BY the time dinner was over felt SO
out of patience with myself that 1 did
not know WHAT to do. 1 finally de-
cided to go down to the beach, that IS,
If cot there before 1 melted. 1t was
a little cooler on the sand and when
NV small sister asked me to help her
build a sand castle 1 consented.

HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
NE ADELINE was visiting her sis
N ter in Oregon and one day, as
AsA it was very warm, she said
Maude, do wish it wasn't so hot"
How would you like to go to the
woods tomorrow" asked her sister.
OF course Madeline wanted to go,
so early next morning Madeline and
quite a few others started out for the
woods. When they arrived there they
found a beautiful little spring, and of
course everyone wanted to drink right
away. They found a clearing near
the spring, where they ate their lunch.
After lunch the boys and girls ran
around and picked flowers, also maxi
ing crowns out of leaves. They ex-
plored the mountain and made believe
they had found many valuable things.
About 2 o'clock they started for home.
Although it had been one of the warm
est days that summer, the children
had had a good time just the same.

PRISONER ON ISOLATED ISLES

Dear Aunt Laurie;
O-sai-san was the most beautiful
young woman in all Japan. She was
so beautiful that no one, not even the
great matesrs of the pen, could de-
scribe her in words, so I shall not at
tempt it, but leave it all to your imagi-
nation. Her father made colors for
the use of those who made the dresses
of the noble ladies of the royal house
hold, and one day he discovered how
to make a wonderfully beautiful color
that had no name.
O-sai-san admired it very much, and
such was her fathers love for her that
he would mot sell any of this color, but
kept it for her own use, and after this
she always had her gowns of this color.
One day. as she was on her way to
visit the Princess Alla-san, a band of
fierce-looking men dressed in strange
fashion suddenly sprang from the
roadside upon her servants and over
came them. After this they carried
O-sai-san off with them, and after
travelling for a long time came to the
seashore, where they were met by
boat
They carried her on board and were
soon sailing far away over the blue
waves. At last they came to barren
looking rock, and, going into hidden
bay, they disembarked and O-sai-san
was introduced to her new home.
Seen from the interior of the island
it was a very beautiful place, covered
with trees and fowess, and watered by
a little brook, clear and cold like our
own mountain streams.
In the midst of this garden spot was
a large house, into which O-sai-san
was ushered Here she might have
privacy and servants to do everything

WON PRIZES FOR AGILITY

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 am going to tell about what I did
on the Fourth of July. 1t seemed very
hot to me, as l went to picnic.
/ had been thinking what a dull
Fourth we would have without any
fireworks, but I soon changed my mind
when a few days before the Fourth
we were invited to the Caledonian
picnic at the Indian Village, not far
from our home.
1 got up early that morning and was
ready to start at $3.50 o'clock. There
were some neighbors who We're going,
so we went with them.
On arriving we looked around and
saw the only totem pole this side Of
Alaska. There was a little hut built
by the Indians in back of it, and in
this there were four large idols. There
were two mud houses, also built by the
Indians.
We then went to the races. I went
in the race for girls under - and un-
der Is and won prize in each. The
first was a fine bottle of perfume and
the second beautiful box of writing
paper.
About 12 o'clock we had lunch. Then
there were more contests. There was
a bagpipe and Scotch dancing con-
test The highland fling is very pretty.
About 4 o'clock we had another
lunch and then went to where the
people were dancing, and there was a
dancing contest.
We came home about 10 o'clock,
much pleased with the days outing.

to go to Wylie's lake, which was ten
miles away. We were up at 490
o'clock, had breakfast, which was
cooked over camp fire.
We finished by o'clock, packed our
lunch and started. We climbed hill
after hill and saw the prettiest little
brooks where there were tiny little
minnows. 1 wanted to stop at every
one, but the rest of the crowd didn't,
so we went on. 1t took us over two
hours to get there and nearly every
one was tired out.
l took off my shoes and waded, for
the water looked so cool. But after
awhile l felt the ground slipping un-
der me, so l went back We ate our
lunch and then we thought we would
explore a bit.
Some people say Wylie's is bottom
less, for many people have been
drowned there.
There are many little brooks about,
but there were two 1 liked best. They
were the largest. One seemed to be
going into and the other seemed to be
going out of the lake. l asked mamma
what they were, aid she said the IN
let and the outlet.
We started home about 5 o'clock and
got there about Z o'clock. We sang
songs till $3.50 o'clock, when we went to
bed. Our bed was made of eucalyp-
tus leaves with a blanket over them.

EARNED PLATE OF ICE CREAM
PLAYING TENNIS TWO HOURS
HONORABLE MENTION


Dear Aunt Laurie:
II DON'T really think that July IS
was the hottest day this summer,
a but know it was as hot as l cared
to have it.
The 18th of July was my friends
birthday. We went out TO Sycamore
grove. The park is greatly improved
since the last Junior picnic. They have
added a new playground and tennis
court. love to play tennis, and so we
took our tennis rackets and balls.
We arrived at the park at about II
o'clock. After playing about for a
while we went in search of the courts.
We followed the railroad track and
crossed the irrigating ditch and found
what we sought.
We only played a short time, for din
ner was soon ready.
After we had rested it was about 2
o'clock and the sun was pouring down
on us like fire. That did not stop us,
however, and my friends uncle and
1 played for two hours.
After being partly baked and partly
melted we decided to stop. In going
back to the others on the lawn we
were treated to some ice cream, which
we wholly deserved after all our work.
On the hill where we went to take
the car 1t was so pleasant that we
thought we would MISS the first car.
We reached home about o'clock, hot
and tired. Although it was not a very
cool way to pass hot day, we en-
joyed ourselves very much.

Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
NTAMNA, papa. my brother and I

we decided to go to Long Beach.
The next morning we were all up
early and we got there about o'clock.
We were going to my aunts, so we
went right over to her house.
About 10 o'clock we started for town.
1t was rather warm, so my cousins,
my brother and 1 went to the bath
house and bought bathing suits. We
stayed in the water about an hour.
Then we went back to my aunt's house
and had dinner.
In the afternoon we all started for
San Pedro. The water was calm and
we had a pleasant ride.
After we were at San Pedro little
while we took the ferry to Shell beach.
There we got lots of shells.
1t was about 4:30 o'clock when we
started to go back to Long Beach.
When we reached there we all got
on the double whirl and had a fine
ride. Then we each had a cornucopia.
After supper in the evening we went
down town again and to the skating
rink, and my cousins and / had fine

We were all tired that night. We
came home early next morning, though
1 wanted to stay longer.
