rustled under the tiny footsteps of the
busy little animals who hurried on very
important business. The rabbits were
hard at work in their burrows, clean

to her friend, Mrs. Squirrel, "for when
November comes here she shiVered
slightly and looked around nervously,

"I know" answered Mrs. Squirrel

IMPORTANT "DON'TS"

Lear, Lear Boys ana LIFTS.
Now that the wonderful picnic is
over we must get to work in earnest.
1 am sure every one of you had such
a good time that you will wish to work
all the harder.
Dear children, there are several
things 1 wish you would not do Please
do not write limericks and notes on
postal cards, for l will have to copy
them. Please do not cut the limerick
from the paper and write the last line
to send that way. Write the whole
limerick out plainly. Please do not
omit your name from any one story or
limerick when you have written in
several of the departments Write
your name and address plainly after
everything. Please use ink with ink
paper whenever possible.
I visited the engraving department
today. That is where they reproduce
the pictures, you know They told me
that you should not draw on paper
which was of yellow or cream tinge to
get the best results. Use pure white
cardboard and BLACK INK.
And last, but never least, be sure
that your stories. are not more than
800 words in length and that your work
for the unfinished story contest is not
over $50 words in length and not less
than 25O.
Some of you, of course, haven't
cooks and your dear mothers get all
the meals, but l am perfectly sure that
you can remember the day when you
were left with the responsibility. OF
course mother said: Never mind.
will get supper when I get home" but
you thought that it wouldn't be very
nice for her to come home and find
there was no supper So you decided
upon an elaborate affair to surprise
her My! Didn't you have a horrible
time? What! Did you say you had
never done that, boys? oh. I am quite
sure that there isn't a boy among you
who hasn't tried at some time or an
other to get a meal.
Of course l know some of my little
boys and girls have never seen their
grandmother's old-fashioned garden,
L
Perhaps she has told you about it and
you can see it vividly in your minds
eye Maybe someone's else grand
mother lives across the street or next
door from you. She will let you come
in to see her garden, for she is proud
of it, But you must promise not to
pick any of her flowers and maybe if
you are real good ard kind she will
give you a nice bouquet.
l am interested in little children of
the slums of the large cities, aren't
you? 1 am sure yoC have read of pow
erty stricken families and of poor,
dear little children who are crippled
and never get out cf a dingy and per-
haps only partly furnished room. 1
will tell you a little more of that story.
One of the little girls to whom Ethel
gave flowers said: "This is the first
real flower I ever had" Imagine never
even holding a real flower in all your
life.
1 was proud of the limerick depart
ment this week and 1 hope you will
keep it up Everyone write to me
often!
