the beginning of the school year. This
natter, and its importance. must be
brought up early, else too much havoc
and heartache may be done by its
delay. 1t is about your mother and
letter to her.
Ever since you have left the old home
to come to the University, the folks
back there have been waiting eagerly
for letter from you. You can just
about see the glad smile with which
pa says good morning to the mail
carrier, believing each time that
there is letter in that pile from you.
You can just about also see ina stand

to avoid the chill of tine autumn air
beaming in fond expectation at the
approaching mail CARRIER during the
hours that pa is away. And little

croak, Mother, here's a letter from
our boy" Our" boy, mind you. And
with trembling hands he will sur
render the letter to mother, feeling
that the happiness of opening it be-
longs to her. Then with tremulous
fingers she will very tremendously
rip the envelope open. And pa and
little brother open-mouthedly will
push closer Then ma. after she first
wiping her glasses, will draw to the
nearest window. pa and little brother

ical voice, she will read out loud. so
that the joy of the others may not be
delayed while she is having the pleas
ure of reading your letter.
And then after she has finished
reading it she will surreptitiously
wisp away two glistening little tears !
from her eyes, And little brother
will wonder why she did it, And pa
will take the letter gently from her,
and read it over again, lest he did not
catch all that mother read. Then he
will sigh and say, Great boy, that"
