VACATION LETTERS.

This Is the time when most of you

10 whom you must write. Are You
going to write or are you notf \ good
many people do not write because they
make letter writing a task: because
they think in writing they must use n
different way Of saying things from
what they use in speaking; because
they have an idea that they cannot
write in a polished literary style
Now. Of course. il is a fine thing TO
be able 10 write letters like Stevenson.
or like Browning. or like Huxley. but
few of you can when you are young.
However. If YOU really want To write
good letters now is the time 10 begin.
After all. it isn't literary essays
that your friends want. it is really an
account of what you are doing and
thinking. And. by the way, If you ever
stop to think. you will find that your
friends will like 10 hear about your
thoughts as much as about your
doings. II Is in you that your friends
are interested. and the very shortest
letter this summer will be very vel
come.
Make your letter writing a pleasant
thing. Don't sit in an uncomfortable
place; don't sit in a bad light; don't
write when you are in hurry; don't
use a non Won do not like or "A pencil

By David VI. Cory.
I saw a ship a-sailing,
A-sailing in the sky,
And past the clouds Of silver white
II went a-racing by.
Its wings were made Of purple si!k.
As shmmery as could be.
And it was fun OF pretty things
For baby and for me.
There were chocolates in tho cabin
And apples in the hold:
And round the big prope!le- spun
Just like a wheel Of gold.
The four-and-tWenty sailors
Were doves OF milky white.
The captain was a downy goose,
With feathers snowy bright.
And when the airship came about.
Upon the sea Of blue,
The four-and-twenty little doves

The following article is taken
from The American:
S. H. Dudley, the peer of all col

Smart Set Company, is the attrac-
ton at the Holiday Street Theatre
this week. Dudley is seen in a
rollicking comedy entitled doctor
Beans from Boston" The perfor-
nance bristles with fun and tuneful
jingles. There is also good dane
ing aplenty. The Smart Set Com
pany is an organization composed of
the cream of negro talent. Among
the performers are number OF
the very best dancers on the stage.
There is not a dull minute in the
show. Dudley is an old favorite in
Baltimore, and capacity houses
greeted him at both performances
yesterday. The many curtain calls
testified to the quality of this
years show.-Adv.
