JUNIORS DEPICT JOYS
OF RAINY WEATHER

JUNIORS spend their rainy days in
many ways. Some sit by the fire
- with book of fairy tales, others
get their backboards out and with
lesson books diligently do that work
which their schoolmates are doing
within the school room. AT least SO
the pictures by Junior artists would
have us believe.
OF course that is not the only way in
which the rainy days are spent There
are games of marbles, and dressing
dolls, and tea parties with dolls and
dogs as guests, and there are also some
industrious girls who help mother with
the family stocking darning while the
rain pours down. Evidently a great
many of the boys and girls spend the
rainy afternoons popping corn, for
many drawings depicted that pastime,
with eager girls and boys waiting in
circle about the fire for the tempting
morsels, hot and buttery from the
pepper.
There were many pictures which were
not quite up to the requirements for
reproduction this week. OF these one
of the very best was from Hans WaS-
ner, grade 10, Orange union high school.
The composition of the picture was
meritorious, and his drawings, especial
ly of boy kneeling, was excellent. but
the lines were weak, and the black
ink was not sufficiently well laid into
the drawing. With practice he will
undoubtedly prove a winner of prizes,
for his work shows great promise.
The group of little folk at mothers
knee listening to the stories was well
drawn by Helen Knecht of Redlands.
She seems to have forgotten in some
degree the advisability of making her
drawings clear cut in black and white,
and has used too many fine lines, none
of them sufficiently heavy to make the
picture stand out after reproduction.
Hattie Lowery, 1916 Mateo street, sent
an excellent picture, which would have
been used had there been sufficient
space. She might use more care in the
drawing of faces, but the other details
of her picture merited praise.
A great many other pictures were
received, all of which show interest in
the work and intellectual grasp of the

ENGLISH WALNUT SHELLS

pieces of paper for hinges to join the
shells. Inside of these boxes fold small
pieces of paper, on which you have
written your Christmas greetings. Tie
the boxes together with red baby rib

away Christmas morning instead or

a real pretty Christmas gift for father

CHIEFS Hands, Kansan Says.
Poor Barbara Frietchie. will they
never let her rest? Comes a Kansas
historian with a discovery, the 1.249th
made in relation 10 the affair, the Bal
timore Sun says. He snatches the flag
right out of Barbara's hands. Twas
not Barbara who waved the flag in the
face of the Confederates, he says; it
was not any member OF the Frietchie
family. H. fact, he accuses her OF
being a Southern sympathizer and mot
a patriotic Northern woman This
Kansas chronicler, by name William
Z. Connolly. ayers that it was Mrs.
Archibald Quantrell and her daughter
Virginia who waved the United States
flag defiantly in the faces of the South
ern troops as they marched down the
streets of Frederick, Nd" He proudly
points to the fact that Mrs. Quantrell
was the aunt of William C. Quantrell,
the guerrilla leader. who led many a
band into Kansas" and who laid
waste the town of Lawrence"
Mr. Connolly puts some new frills
on the old story He says Miss Vir-
GINA was waving little United States
flag at the gate. which so aroused the
anger of the Confederates that lieu
tenant with his sword cut the flag
from her hands.
About Barbara the Marylanders GER
tainly have to 'go from home to hear
the news" Whittier, who knew perhaps
as much OF Maryland as he did OF
Senegambia, wrote a poem that gave
wide currency to an incident that they
tell us either never occurred or GER
tainly did not occur at all as he re-
lated it, Then it was embodied in a
play. which not only differed from the
facts but disagreed with the poem.
Now comes the Western iconoclast
who takes the glory entirely away
from Whittier's favorite and confers
it upon an aunt of Kansas. The Bar
baraites seem to be unable to agree
with history. recollection. or to agree
with each other. The story has as
many twists and turns to it as the
north pole dispute. and perhaps the
best way to settle it would be to name
a commission empowered to determine
the true and authorized version, the
said board to be composed of represen-
| tatives of the following:
/. Those who declare that no such
incident ever happened in Frederick
or anywhere else.
g Those who hold that something
or other occurred. but nothing resem-
bling in any way what tradition or the
| poet describes.
8. Those who assert that Barbara
waved the flag in Stonewall Jackson's
face and dared the Confederate to
shoot her. just as Whittier has related
| it.
A. Those who hold that, there never
was any such person.
5. The new element who assert that
the flag was waved. but that Barbara
didn't wave 1t, the glory going to some
party who lived down the street two
blocks.

whether it ever occurred or not, but
would like to hear the last Of it,

Men Susceptible to voice.

Very few women realize what an
effect a sweet voice has on a man. A
woman may be very pretty to look
upon, may be faultlessly and bewitch-

way, and yet too often directly she
opens her mouth and speaks, the spell
is broken, the charm is gone. And
this need never be.

bad that they will not succumb to
