the case. Any 1O-year-old child Of the

practically the same arguments. Such Is
the simplicity and unity of the church's

Your correspondent evidently has as little
regard for Henry VIII, from some stand
points, as L have from all. Decent public
opinion has long since consigned him, and
Katherine Parr, ct al. to that low stratum
of moral degradation of which they happen
to be an historical example, 1 merely
cited Henry VIII. as the patron saint of
the "I~ncompatibles," and modern society
is most interested in asking why so many
nowadays emulate his example. The an
swer seems to b~e-because they may. 1t is
very easy to discover incompatibility as
an excuse, when there is an affinity be-
yond the open door of the divorce court.

compatibility IL he knew that beyond the
court OF divorce there was no hope OF
marriage with the new affinity?
Your correspondents charge that mem

absurd to require an answer. Why, do the

he was always smiling.
Paul at once took a flower basket
from it's hook and set out toward the
meadow, whistling on the way. Bertha
resumed her play; but, somehow, her
dolls did not seem half so interesting
to her as they usually had; and her
conscience began to whisper to her that
she was selfish to deny help to her
mother. and to make Paul do her tasks.

thought Bertha. "She never does any
thing that she doesn't want to do.
Oh, dear! I've torn my dolly's dress!
"Mother!" she called moment later,

Mrs. Browning thought she would
teach Bertha lesson, so she said:
"Oh, I'm at the most interesting part
of my book. I don't see why you can't
mend the dress"
Bertha was so surprised and hurt to
hear her mother speak to her in this
manner that the tears came to her eyes.
II wish the dress was mended," she
muttered.
Just then a tiny fairy stood be-
fore her.
"I am the wish fairy" said he.

With that the wish fairy vanished
What wonders Bertha did with her
wish ring! She made many wishes, and
always they came true. AS she was
crossing the ocean by means of her
ring she awoke.
"Ohp she exclaimed. How nice it
is to have all ones wishes to come
true" And then she thoughtfully add
ed: 81 suppose mother would like to
have wish fairy visit her, too"

and she ran to her mother, who was
in the library.

FAIRY BRINGS cHUM
ON HER BIRTHDAY
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Mabel Bray was a lonely little girl
She hadn't any brothers or~sisters and
her chum had moved away the month
before. She asked her mother to give
her something to do, so she gave her
a fairy book to read.
Mabel read a story in it which said
If you wished and wished and wished
hard enough the wish fairy would come
and help you get your wish.
Mabel thought this was good idea,
SO she wished and wished and wished
until she couldn't wish any harder.
Pretty soon flower opened its petals
and sweet little fairy came out. She
said:
81 am the wish fairy and came to
help you. What do you wish?"
"Oh, please, | want chum so very
much" answered Mabel.
when is your birthday" asked the
wish fairy.
my birthday is the day after tomor-
row." replied Mabel, land 1 will be 10
years old'
Then the fairy disappeared and Ma
bel couldn't find her any place. She
didn't know whether she would get her
chum or not.
When Mabel woke on the morning of
her girthday she went to the Window
and looked out. Someone was moving
into the house next to theirs. There
was little girl just her age, too.
Mabel and this little girl became very
fond of each other and they We're very
thankful to the wish fairy for bringing
them together

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One morning before I was up

know who it was, so got up to see.
/ found it was a lady. asked her to
come in and sit down. She said she
did not want to sit down-she wanted
something to eat-so l told her to sit
down to the table and have some
breakfast.
When she had finished she asked me
what l would like to have. She said
she was the Wish Fairy. / said I
would like to have a wishing stick, SO
she gave me one and vanished.
1 wished for a fine house and gold
trimming around everything.
Soon the steps were made of gold,
and there were golden flowers in the
garden.
1 wished l could go any place in a
minute and that never would get

Just then l heard my papa calling
me to breakfast, and, after all, my
wishes never came true.

THE MYSTERIOUS OPAL
CAUSES UNHAPPINEss
SECOND PRIzE


Dear Aunt Laurie:
N HE wish fairy had made plan
and was now watching how it
- would work. She dropped an opal
pin to the earth, which granted every
wish of the wearer.
Eagerly she watched an artist pick
it ur. He had just come from the
woods where he mad been sketching.
"Oh how l wish this picture would
bring me WEALTH." was his first wish.
He went into a shop nearby and
asked il they would buy the picture.
A customer who was there was so
pleased that he gave the artist a very
great sum for the picture.
He was happy man as he left the
shop but he didn't get very far be-
fore a footpad held him up. He not
only took the money but his rings and
watch and the pin! With sigh the
fairy watched the robber.
He went into a saloon and edrank
glass after glass while he was talking
to some other men.
Somehow a quarrel started. Nothing
stopped them until policeman en-
tered and took them both away.
One day he passed a pawnshop and
he thought perhaps he could sell that
pin. He dived into his pocket but
it was empty. He had lost it!
A doctor had picked it up some time
before. He was quite a ways from
home and wished for place to rest.
Not far away was a park and he hur-
ried toward it. Sinking into bench
he soon fell asleep.
When he awolle it>was very late and
he hurried from the place. An editor
who had worked very hard. making
him nervous, found it next. II wish I
were away from here To travel, to
travel, would be my wish!" A month
later we find this man sailing around
the world. His uncle had died, leav-
ing him his money. He stopped in
London a few days and then went to
Paris. ITO think, am tired of this
life, where wished for it all the time.
l wish my soul could travel and my
body could lie STILL" In darkened
room lies the form of the editor. His
soul is wandering. while his body is
still. The fairy comes tiptoeing into
the room and takes from his tie the
pin. The editor sits up in his coffin

Yetive had just been reading a fairy

surprise her.
Il should like to have baby sister
very much," she answered.
Then you may choose which one
you want of all the babies in baby
land" so the fairy gllded up in the air,
followed by Yetive.
They soon reached babyland. 1t was
a beautiful pink and blue land with
thousands of babies everywhere.
The wish fairy led Yetive around
asking her to pick out the baby she
wanted.
They're all so little and bald they
look just about alike" remarked
Yetive
"They will all look different when
they are older answered the fairy.
There were fat babies, thin babies,
blue-eyed babies, golden-haired babies,
and it was hard to choose. At last she
saw small, dimpled baby who took
her fancy.
I'D like this one, please" said
Yetive politely.
And just then she heard her fathers
voice. you're not asleep are you,
Yettie? Why are you crying?"
"'Cause 1 want baby sister," said
Yetive sleepily, land now I am going
to have one"
"Welll" her father said. "Come with
me-" She followed him as she had the
wish fairy" and saw the same baby
lying by her mother.
"Shes my choice" said Yetive, ''and
I hope she suits you, too"
Then she told them the story of the
wish fairy" and added. Though most
of the babies looked alike. I can tell
this is the one 1 chose because it has
the same dimples"
