\ bright hue of autumn. Leaves
rustled under the tiny footsteps of the
busy little animals who hurried ON very

hard at work in their burrows, clean
ing them out and fixing things up gen.

to her friend, Mrs. Squirrel, for when
November comes here she shivered
slightly and looked around nerVously.
as if already she heard the shot of a
gun or bay of a dog

with an understanding switch of her
beautiful, bushy tail. I'VE can't be too
careful. Mr. Squirrel and l have been
hard at work for weeks storing acorns
at Hollow Lodge. We have enough to
last us all winter, and nuts, too, will
soon be ripe"
Just So" agreed Mrs. Rabbit. mo

fine idea of the WoOdpecker family. 1

the lazy Owl. l declare, it gets on my
nerves to see him sitting there day af-

while every other bird and animal in

winter. Such a bad example for the
children!"

clapped her tiny hands.
II need not fear the rain-here are
hundreds of delightful umbrellas. She
alighted on big one, which was
smooth as velvet; she crept under
and. lei-it was brown. Then she ran
to a pink one; it was cream under
meath and wonderfully cozy-a pink
umbrellas, lined with cream satin.
"Now, this is charming. I shall
certainly stay here" declared Erica,
quite forgetting the dewberries and
honey.
What a splendid world. I-don't

There was once a beautiful Heather
Bell who had a fairy daughter Erica.
AS Heather Bell grew on the moor
her roots were firmly fixed, and she
was unable to move from that spot,
but being a fairy, Erica could fly any
where She was a pretty fairy, too,
and always wore a purple dress, and
lived on dewberries and honey Many
a fairy would have been charmed with
such a pleasant life, but Erica was
not She wished to fly over smooth
green fields and apple orchards just
as bees did
I'm tired of the moor" she said
to her mother, "and I'm tired of be-
ing a fairy"
"Fie! Erica" replied Heather Bell
where do you wish to go?'
ITO the fields and orchards re-
piled Erica.
"Fields and orchards are delightful,
but they would not suit heather bell
fairy; there are no dewberries and no
honey. How would you live?" asked
her mother
II should not stay long" argued
Erica.
You would have to stay if the
rain came. Remember, if you once
get wet, your wings will stick to your
gown and you will be at the mercy
of any creature who wishes to eat
you"
But Erica refused to listen.
Mother is trying to frighten me"
she said, looking at the bright sun
shine, "and it won't rain. 1 must
visit those lovely fields beyond the
moor"
Away she flew over thousands and

ARTISTIC PERSEVERANCE

The idea of the practice piano is that
by the slight clicking sound the player
may judge if his touch is correct. An
interesting improvisation of such an in
strument is told by a young contributor
to st. Nicholas. She says that when
her great grandmother came to this
country from England as pioneer she
had no piano. She had played very
well and was loath to give up her
music. So in the primitive cabin home
in Ohio she practiced two or three hours
every day on the window pane. After
a while her husband was able to buy
her a piano and the people came from
many miles round to hear her beautiful
playing. At SO this woman still kept
up with all the new music.

THE ORCHARD

The wind is gently blowing,
The leaves respond with glee,
And nobody knows we're up here,
My Pepper friends with me
There's five of these young Peppers,
Now don't you think it's queer
How where there's only room for one
Six can squeeze in up here?
We only need one apple.
Although there are plenty here
And all the Peppers like them.
That's another thing that's queer.
Now I'll tell you all about it:
Ny friends are in a book.
And in these large old apple trees
We find a quiet nook.

A HAPPY REUNION
My dear Nephews and Nieces:

My dear Nephews and Nieces:
Just think, Wednesday we will see
each other again. Many of my nieces
we will have a regular family reunion
that day. Come to the park at II
o'clock, and if you know any good sto-
ries, or if you have any pieces to recite,
be sure to practice so that you can
help to amuse the boys and girls.
Think of as many new games as you
can, for l want you all to do your part
in the days entertainment.
I wish personally and especially to
invite Helen Howell, Helen Mace,
Maude Edwards, Lorita Bates, Helen
Ferguson, Hazel Cox, Ola Hall and
any other girls of the high schools to
come, and I hope that l can depend
upon you to help me.
1 will tell you again where to take
the car, so that you will get there
safely Take the Annandale or the
South Pasadena car anywhere between
First and Sixth on Main street, and the
conductor will tell you where to get off
The next weeks topics will be in
teresting, am surue. The Owl was a
generous person, don't you think, to
help Bunny after she had talked about
him that way? I am sure the story
was written to teach a lesson. The lit
tie folk of the forest are interesting
and their habits are well to watch.
You may have your choice in the
writer's contest of telling of the arrival
of a new playmate or of moving into
a new home yourself. Perhaps the new
home into which you moved had scraps
of lumber or a pile of sand in the back
yard which the builders had left.
Don't you remember what fine times
you had with the little neighbOr child
and how exciting it was to get ac-
quainted? You might by some pos
sible chance have moved to an on
farmhouse where there was an inter
esting and romantic attic full of fine
old rickety furniture and mysterious
chests.
Have you ever invited few of your
little friends to bring their sewing and
come tc your house for the afternoon?
They brought all their pretty dolls and
their new dresses, ana IL maue pIelty
litter on the nursery floor. Sometimes
mother and your older sister have a
dressmaker come to the house, and
then they all work together in the sew
ing room. Such a busy scene, with all
the patterns and pretty cloth spread
about on the floor and some one stitch
ing away at the machine. My nephews
have d fine chance to see all this, for
you can stand at the door and look in
on either scene and you won't disturb
them at all. Well, I will see you all
Wednesday. Lovingly,
AUNT LAURIE.

FLOWERS

Some posies wear bonnets and aprons,
While other have ruffles and fris.
Some flowers climb up the steep mountains:
Their sisters seek out shady rills
Some blossom and thrive in the sunlight,
Some droop when not tucked meath the
shade;
A lot of them wear the bright colors,
While others prefer those that fade.
Some flourish and grow in minute,
While others are slow to make haste
They seem almost like grown-up people,
No two having quite the same taste.
