A DISAPPOINTMENT

ONnA L'pSS anu Vii 49,
I am sorry to ever have to disap-
point you in the slightest but 1 am
afraid that L can do nothing else this
time. The nice little emblem pins
which you were all so anxious to win
will not come for several weeks. There
has been some trouble getting them
made and finally an order had to be
sent east. But you will get your
prizes just the same and then when
We can get the pins we will appreciate
them so much more.
L love to have my nieces and neph-
ews come in to see me so that we can
become better acquainted and L know
that after school would be the best
time for all of us. So come in to see
me either Monday afternoon after 8
o'clock or Saturday afternoon from
half past ten until half past twelve If
you wish especially to come at any
other time call me up and we will ar
range a time so that l will be sure to
be here.
I was so delighted with the writer's
contest designs this week for there
We're so many and all of them so good.
One picture drawn by Sigfred Wester-
holm is especially beautiful and APP
prOpriate for this season but it is al
most a whole column too wide so that
it cannot be published. The picture by
Marie Hutchinson which has won the
first prize will need a little explanation
for some of my nieces and nepheWS.
You see, Marie has made a sketch of
the home of one of the greatest of writ
eTs ever knOWn-William Shakespeare
and if you will look closely you will
find written in very small letters the
words "StratfOrd On Avon" the name
of his home. All of the other designs
were so good that it made me proud
and happey to be your Aunt Laurie
and l know that each one of you will
be glad to have such a good exhibition
this week.
Now l will tell you about the new
topics. Aren't you sorry for poor little
Dumpy Doc? l hope she found a
policeman or some kind friend who
would take her home, don't you? So
many things are liable to happen to
a little girl who is lost in a big city
and she was such a tiny little girl that
you could hardly see her among all
the busy shoppers. If she should have
gone out into the busy street-but 1
hate to think of that. I hope that
none OF my nleceS and nepheWS ever
get lost like that
Don't you think that a picture of a
boy moving the lawn would be fine?
Boys often have to trim the trees, too,
and chop wood, and some of my nieces
and nepheWs have picked berries all
summer. That is really working, isn't
it? Many of your cousins have never
even seen a berry field and would like
to know all about it. Are there any
of my artists who live on ranches and
have to harvest the hay? How we
would like to know how that is done
please won't you show us that, too?
l know that is really working. OH of
course, you think you are almost left
out, don't you, girls? But why should
you be? Don't you think that when
you and your little sister or friend are
busting and sewing, baking or
washing dishes, that is a pretty pic
ture? Well 1 do, and l want to know
what kind of work you have to do.
Many boys and girls think going to
school is really working, but you must
use your imagination in finding a good
subject for your picture.
Have you ever started i'm to a school
where you don't know single boy or
girl. DO you remember who it was who
first talked to you and made you feel
so much better? Not very long ago one
of my little nieces told me about
