Pretty near spring, isn't it, dearies?
Soon we shall be able to smell the
grass growing and hear the robins
singing and gather the dainty wild
flowers.
In the next issue we shall see
whose names are on tie February
Roll. Ii yours was on the January
Roll and is on the February Roll too,
be sure to have it on the March Roll
y.writing something during March.
If your name was not on either roll
why write to US anyway. We are al
ways glad to get letters and stories
from new friends as we'll as from old
friends.
Now, my dears, try to get March
work in, in March. Sometimes such
good stories come in too late to be
considered in the contest Some
times you might miss winning prize
that way, don't you see?
For our March work we are going
to have the odd sayings OF little
children. You know all children say
or have said things that we're cute,
odd or funny. Maybe some OF your
little friends or relatives have done
so. Your mother may know of two
or three such sayings. You may ask
nyone to help you out, only you
must not get them from any paper or
book.
You may write them in letter or
send them without a letter. l am GO
ing to send an Easter post card in re-
turn for the quaint sayings. Will
you get one of the cards?
