Fairies, you know, usually are happy
and contented, and always glad to
obey their beautiful queen in all things.
and although they love the earth. with
its green grass and lovely flowers and
dear earth-children, they know that
only by their queens command or with
her permission can they ever allow
themselves to be seen by mortals.
Now this little fairy, whose name
was Blossom, became somewhat dis
contented in fairyland; she loved to
watch the carth-childrcn playing in
the garden and often wished she might
Join in their )lics, and any time she
could slip away by herself she would

queen knew of this and had told Bios

For days she remembered and obeyed
the queens command-and then some
thing happened Little Marie, who
lived in the big house standing in the
middle of this garden. came one morn

was hiding, and put her rosy cheek
against the snowy petals. Now the
fairy could easily have hidden herself

these: she just lifted her tiny self

STORIES ABOUT scHooLeoYs

An English schoolboy is responsible
for the following essay on trees" but
we have no doubt some of our boys
could duplicate it. Trees are very
useful. There are all sorts of trees,
the cokernut tree and orange apple and
plum trees. Coker nuts are very nice
people, In the pacific and foreign ma
lions live on cokernuts and many other
fruits. Appel trees and orange trees
are very nice. Their are trees that do
not bloom oak trees and hay corn trees
and pien apple trees never bloom. Some
trees are very tall they stand from the
height of 10 to Is yds high and some
are taller than that. Trees are very
usehe for the wild RABBITS and hares
and dears. There is no wild beasts in
England only in foreign nations

THE SANE FOURTH

My Dear Nephews and Nieces:
1T OW did you like the sane Fourth?
I have always heartily ndorsed
the prohibition of fireworks. but
l could not bu. think of the boys who
wandered around all day long with
nothing boy could do, thinking visit
fully of the last Fourth of July Why
don't you with the inventive abilities
get to work and invent something to
make noise which has no danger at
tached to. it? Have it ready for the
next Fourth of July
l was delighted to find that you
had taken more interest in your writ
ing last week, but 1 want you to be
even more enthusiastic than ever,
want you to tell your little friends
about the Junior and l want you to
work hard yourself to make it a sue
cess, for you know you can help to
make it successful by writing each
week and then you will be so proud to
think that you have had a part in
the work
Have you a little family of puppies
VI hlitiCS' nav CIi you OllCIl MiSlGu
that you might have picture of
them as they were playfully rolling
over each other or romping on their
mothers back?
Many of you have lived on a ranch
and have seen little ponies, lambs,
calves and pigs. You have seen them
as they played with their brothers and
sisters and their mothers. Little chick
ems look so pretty when they are peck
ing away keeping close to their moth
er, who talks to them in her kind,
loving way. The young artists have a
fine chance to make a beautiful pic
ture this week.
At last you have your wish-The
Unfinished Story contest. A charming
topic has been chosen, too, and I am
sure you cannot help but think of a
fitting close for this tale. Dsobedience
is usually punished, you know, but
stories most always end happily and
fairy stories especially. What terrible
thing do you think could have hap
PANIED to that fairy when the queen
heard of what she had done? 1 think
that almost everything fairies do is
mysterious, but it always teaches lit
T. boy and girls a lesson, that is
what FAIRIES are for, you know.
Each week l try to find limerick
which will be of interest to you and
l am sure it must be fun to sit down
after you have played hard and finish
them. why don't you try limerick
game some afternoon when you and all
the other children of the neighborhood
are playing in your back yard? See
which one can make the best limerick,
but send them all in for I might think
one is good which you have overlooked
entirely. I think that would be a fine
way to make the work interesting to
others as well.
Be sure now, everyone of you must
write to me next week Lovingly,
AUNT LAURIE.
