PLEASANT FRIENDSHIP FORMED

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I am glad we are going to have an
other Junior frolic. l had a fine time
last summer. At first I did not know
any one, but soon got acquainted with
Gertrude Andrews. I wanted to find
out who the boys and girls were who
drew such fine pictures
After a while we each wrote our
names on a piece of paper and pinned
it on our breasts. Then everybody
could see who everybody else was.
We had a fine time playing games
and swinging. Then we had races and
the prizes were trips to the beach.
Ny first trip to the beach with the
Herald Juniors was for winning a race.
We had more ice cream and cake
than we could eat. Some of the Juniors
I met at the picnic were Mabel An
drews, Gertrude Andrews. Marcella
Mahan, Evadne Pelren, Ola Hall, Hazel
Cox and Lorita Bates. I have formed
a pleasant acquaintance with Bessie
Chapman. We have visited each other
and written letters.
Miss King told the Juniors some
beautiful original stories. We had sew
eral pictures taken. When it was time
to go home I felt sorry to leave Syca-
more grove. I for one will be sure to
be there this summer, and I hope to
see many of the same faces and many
of the new ones, and also Aunt Laurie
and the lttlest Junior. You loving
niece, STELLA GUESS.

HOW DO YOU MOVE YOUR BOOKS

From the New idea wonan's Magazine for May.
Many persons complain that their books
suffer IN transit. The head OF the NOV
ing company was interviewed on this
subject and he said;
After several years experimenting with
different things for the best conveyance
Of books. I have found that the use Of
small boxes IS by Ear the most advisable.
tho smaller the better These boxes are
easily secured for a few cents from your
grocer. or II YOU let us know IN time we
will supply them TO you gratis. For
storage purposes, where the matter Is left
TO US. we move the books in long. mar
row boxes. fitted with handles, made es-
pecially for this purpose, but this IS not
necessary, Of course. for the ordinary
moving. Barrels simply ruin books, and
large boxes filled with heavy volumes
have caused more than one strike among
our men. They are the clumsiest Of all
things 10 handle. as well as the heaviest"
Another mode Of moving books Is 70 tie
them up In small bundles with stout
wrapping paper and heavy Irvine, leaving
enough Of the Irvine TO make a loop han
die for lifting.

this dress, and the design is one that
