takes. Now we will have our let
tiers.
Dear Friend: hope you are well

time last year. l didn't have them
very hard but Mama made me stay
in bed a week. Which one of the
prizes did l win? l haven't saw my
other letter in print yet but / guess
it will be in next weeks paper. l re-
ceived by membership card some time
ago. 1 did not expect any because
l didn't ask you for any; was afraid
/ wouldn't write often enough. I think
when we join the club we are sup
posed to write quite often, aren't we
Thank you for the card just the same.

ten from one of the neighbors. 1t is
a gray tiger cat so we named it Tiger.
We also got horse; it's color is
brown; his name is Ned. There was
a girl that wrote to the club; her
name is Nina May. / don't know her
but my oldest sister worked in Hart

ROBERT.
By Margaret Campbell.

Robert was small dog, and his
masters name was Frank. Frank was
a good boy. One night Frank woke
up and heard Robert scratching at
his door. Then Frank smelled smoke.
He looked around and the stairway
was on fire. Frank called his father
and mother. They put out the fire
and gave Robert some meat for saw
ing their lives. Frank had two Sis
tiers; their names were Jessie and
Dorothy. Jessie was sixteen years
old and Dorothy was fourteen years
old, and Frank was eleven years old.
Jessie and Dorothy were good girls.
Their father and mother thought lot
of their children. They all thought a
lot of Robert.
Margaret-Your story was very
nice, too. l am sure our little men,
bers will enjoy it. Did l send you
a membership card? If l did not

/ just going to scold her when she gave
low meaw and started down stairs.
Just then Ned heard somebody shut
drawer. Then he knew what the
kitten meant. The thief heard step
on the stairs. He jumped out of the
window and got away but he did not
get anything. After this the kitten
was praised by many people.
If this story is good enough and
there isn't too many mistakes would
like to see it in print when its turn
comes around. From your new men,
Der, Helen Campbell, Shelby, Mich.
Helen-Your story was very nice
and | was glad to print it. SNOWFALL
was certainly clever kitten, wasn't
she? l expect Brother Ned had been
teaching her some tricks. Your letter
was fine too, Dear; it is just the kind
of letter l like to print. But you
needn't write bit oftener than you
care to in order to belong to the club,
Helen. ONE letter makes you MEM
Der and entities you to all the priv
ileges connected with the club. Of
course we are glad to have our little
members write as often as they can;
but there are no strict rules in this
respect-it all depends on the men,
bers themselves. We could easily take
up TWO WHOLE PAGES for the
Children's Story Telling Club, Helen;
but 1 suspect our publisher would
have to add another page or two to
his paper if we did that. What do
you think?
Dear Friend: How are you? l am
well. We have three horses; their
names are Ned, Prince and Victor. /
have three sisters. Their names are
Jessie, Marion and Helen. l have one
brother; his name is Leonard. would
like to join your club. l never have
joined a club before. I am eleven
years old. l am in the fourth grade.
I will tell a story. Good bye from

played hide and seek. We had music
on the graphaphone and the piano too.
We had very nice lunch. Her school
mates all brought her present. This

glad when school begins again be-
cause it's so cold that we girls can't
roller skate on the sidewalk. was

down to Grandma's this vacation, but
she says that we cannot go until sum-
mer. My grandma lives near Hastings

when we do down there. Your friend,

a party in her playhouse last Saturday

they had a nice little program to
which 1 was invited. Vivienne loves
to roller skate too, but don't see how
she can enjoy the tumbles she gets
although she says they don't hurt.

Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lu5tre,
or when it fades. tarus graz. DUH and
lifeIess, is caused by q lack Of sulphur
in the air. our grandmother made Up
a mixture Of sage Tea AMI sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful and
thousands of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade Of hair which is SO attrac
tive, use only this old-time recipe
Nowadays We get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for d
5O-ceut bottle Of 'WyetEs Sage and
Sulphur Compound, which darkens
the hair So naturally. SO evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides. it takes of daudruf,
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampen sponge or soft
brush with il and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand al
time BY morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights 1he ladies'
with WyeIh.s Sage and sulphur IS
that. besides beautifully darEenins the
hair after { few applications IL also
brings back the gloss and IgsTe and
