SOME HELPING HAND
 HINTS FOR THE HOME
By MARION KIRKLAND

the difficulty in my course of instruction
 It IS form of nervousness, and when the sufferers are not embarrassed or hurried they stammer least, just as when they are embarrassed or hurried they stammer worse than usual. To know what they wish to say before beginning to speak. and to speak slowly will in time overcome the habit. This may be best accomplished by reading aloud slowly, distinctly, and by taking pains to enunciate each word properly. It takes time. patience, and constant practice to accomplish a cure, but it has been done by pupils in my classes, and I believe it may be done again EDITH NJ

Writes Concerning Ssperanto

With regard to N. B. M. concerning Esperanto: I have studied and found it interesting. It may be of interest to your readers to know that Esperantists expect to have the Esperantista association of North America hold congress in Chca go July 20 to 25 We are making big preparations for that time. I can put N. B. NJ in touch with our various groups and teachers, and also with our aetivi- ties I should be glad to hear from N B. Mat the earliest possible date. Would you kindly give me her address? This may be printed. and applies to others wishing information on the coming lam guage Of the world. CECILE T. T see in your Helping Hand Corner that Mrs E. J. T. wishes to know the words of the old song. Scenes That Are Brightest Here they are:
 MRS. W. H. H."
 Scenes that are brightest
 May charm awhile,
 Hearts which are lightest
 And eyes that smile;
 Yet OCT them, above us,
 Though nature beam,
 With none to love us
 How sad they seem
 Words cannot scatter
 The thoughts we fear.
 For though they flatter,
 They mock the ear;
 Hopes still deceive us,
 With fearful cost,
 And when they leave us,
 The heart is lost.
