THE PARTY IN THE WOODS.
BY Pauline Bessette.

1t was Wednesday afternoon when
Mabel Harris came running in from
school. ooh, Mamap she cried, 1--WE
are going to have a holiday tomor-
row, and we have planned to have a
party out in the woods. The teacher
said that we would meet at the
school house at two o'clock and all
go together then. Each of us is GO
ing to bring something to eat. Some
are going to bring sandwiches and
cake, some pickles and salads, and
the teacher is going to bring some
thing also. / shall bring the sand
witches and cake" The next morn
ing was very busy one. Mrs. Har-
ris was making cake and and Mabel
was fixing the sandwiches. When
the time came Mabel went to a
neighbours house to go with little
girl. When Alice saw her she said:
"Why, Mabel, I don't think l can
CO." "Why?" asked Mabel. "Why,
it's almost two miles and l don't
want to walk so far" 81 drove over
with the horse and we can ride"
answered Mabel. So they drove
away. When they reached the school
house they found the children there.
They went to the woods and played
a while and then they had the
lunch. When the lunch was finished
they played again. They found
some grape vines and used them as
a swing. Billy Bender found one
hanging over a small stream. 1t was
not very strong and broke down let
ting him down none too gently in
the mud. How the children laughed
when they saw how muddy he was
and that he was not hurt. They
stayed until five o'clock and had
merry time. They went home very
happy. Well, as for Billy, he was
very much pleased with himself to
think he got out so easily without
getting hurt, and declared he would
go again, which he did.
will write again some time, and
if this isn't too long l would like to
see it in print. Lovingly,
Pauline Bessette, Berryton, Kan.
Thank you, Pauline, for very in
teresting picnic story. Billy Bender
had quite a narrow escape, didn't
he? The name you suggested was
really very nice, Dear; you should
have more confidence in yourself. /
hope you will take part in our Miss
ing Word Contest for we are certain
to have merry time. Write again.
Our next letter is a post card from

jects are different from those found
at stores. 1t is a we'll known fact
that many of the cards offered for
sale are suggestive or Objectionable
in other ways, while these cards
are appreciated by all who receive
them and help to build up your
church and Sunday school. Those
who buy the cards should not keep
them, but send them out where they
will do the most good.

Dear Editor-I wrote you a let
ter and then received a card, but /
have never seen my story in the pa
per, and l am getting anxious. From
Mary Lynn, Dutton, Michigan.
Mary Dear, I don't blame you a
bit for wondering about your story,
because you DID have to wait quite
a while. But let me whisper some
thing to you, Honey-WORTH
WHILE PLEASURES ARE AL
WAYS WORTH WAITING FOR.
Don't you think so? Your editor
would GLADLY print your letters
the very next week after she re-
ceives them, but you see, it is i'm
possible. So you must just be pa
tient and REMEMBER that all your
stories are SURE to be printed
about ONE MONTH after they are
received. Our next letter is from a
little girl living away out in Wash
ington.

A Bible For Every
Sunday School Scholar

Although the Bible has a larger
sale than any other book, it is a
fact that less than 25 per cent of
the members of our Sunday schools
own Bibles, possibly 10 per cent
would be nearer the correct figure.
Mr.. VIM. j. Eldredge, Bible school
specialist, of 1044 Academy avende,
Cincinnati, o., has been instrumental
in placing over $4,000 Bibles on a
plan that appeals to ministers, SUI
perintendents, and parents as well
as scholars of any age.
The plan is very simple and in
brief is as follows: A set of ten post
cards has been provided all on Bible
subjects. Each set is in an envel-
ope on which is printed all necessary
information. The whole set sells for
zoe, and any one who sells 10 sets is
presented with an American stan
dard Bible, Egyptian Seal, Divinity
Circuit, handy size, and beautifully
printed in clear, easy reading ruby
type, on fine white Bible paper. Has
six colored maps, 80 illustrations
and GA pages of helps arranged for
this special Bible, which sells for
$3.50. When scholars earn these
beautiful Bibles they prize them
very highly.
The post cards being on Bible sub

ing. 1t would also be nice in soft
crepe or wolfe; the vest fronts could
be daintily embroidered. For CASH
mere or plaid suiting, for lawn or
chambrey vest of checked or fig
ured material could be used. The
pattern is cut in A sizes: 6, 8, 10
and IL years. 1t requires yards of
44-inch material for a 1O-year size.

A Simple, Becoming Model, Showing
Some New Style Features. :.


Some New Style Features. :.
Brown broadcloth was used for
this design, finished with simple ma
chine stitching. The model would
also look well in green serge, or in
taffeta in any of the pretty new
shades of this season. The plated
skirt with yoke top is new and
graceful. The waist is cut with low
neck outline, and finished with a
smart collar. The sleeve may be in
wrist length or short, with a neat
cuff finish. This model will also be
desirable for wash fabrics, such as
linen, cotton crepe, poplin or ging-
ham. The pattern is cut in sizes:
Ia, 16, II and 18 years. 1t requires
6% yards of 40-inch material for a
16-year size. The skirt measures
about 8 yards with plaits drawn out.

Sailed Up the Sea.

The Chicago News says that not
long since a Scotch school board in
spector asked the members Of a class
that was under examination:
"What is the cause of the saltiness
Of the ocean,"
Flushed with the discovery which
had flashed upon her mind, one lit
tie girl raised her hand.
"You may tell" said the inspector.
"Salt fish, sirl" exclaimed the pu-
pill triumphantly.

percale, bingham or khaki would be
very serviceable. The right front

easy to develop. The pattern is cut
in a sizes: 8, a, 5 and 6 years. 1t
requires 29s yards of 36-inch mate
rial for 4-year size.

Dear Editor:-You will perhaps
be surprised to get letter from the
far away state of Washington. I
am a girl eleven years old. / am
living at present with my grand
parents, who live in the Old Sol
dier's Colony at Orting, Washington.
There are about one hundred and
thirty families in the colony. Our
nearest neighbor is F. M. Suits,
formerly of Michigan, who takes
your paper where I saw the chill
dren's letters. My grandparents also
came to this state from Michigan.
l had a very nice Christmas. I had
little cedar tree all decorated. l
received two dolls and several other
presents. There are three girls who
live near here that I am acquainted
with: Mercede, Louisa and Isobel
are their names. Every morning
go to school with Mercede. Grand
ma and Grandpa are sometimes in
vited to parties. l go too, and watch
the old folks. They seem to have a
good time, for they talk and laugh.
I think it is nice that they are hap
ply. 1t is very nice to live here. I
like school very much. / am in the
fifth grade. / have three sisters and
one brother. All the children in our
family go to school except one. I
don't want to make this letter very
long. Yours truly, Mary Newbury,
Orting, Washington.
Your letter was certainly very In
teresting, Mary, and ! hope you will
write again real soon.
