Socially Launched.

In his native town Jimmy had al
ways been most popular with young
and old, but when he was sent away
to boarding school, he was for time
too homesick to make friends. His
first letter was little more than q
wall.
I'm way behind the other boys in
everything" he wrote, dolefully.
"'Tisn't only studies, but it's gymna-
SUM and banjos and everything. 1
don't believe they'll ever have much
use for me-
But the second letter, written after
a week in the new school, was quite
different in tone.
I'm all right" he write to his
mother. THE boys say they'll teach
me all they know, for they're proud
to have me here. 1 can stretch my
mouth half an inch wider than any
other boy in school, and my feet are
the longest by a full inch. So you
needn't worry about me any more
