CHILDREN'S CORNER
Industrious Mary Jane

MO. MARY JANE said mother firm
In ly, you cannot go out of doors
to play in the rain, There Is not one
bit of use to ask me such a question
again. Now do be a good girl and go
and look at some pretty books in the
library"
Mary Jane turned from the window
and started across the room. That's
always the way" she thought to her
self, Il can't do anything | want to.
Just because I'm getting over the measles
that / had three whole weeks ago. |
can't wade in those lovely puddles Ana
/ just love to wade i'm puddles." She
went into the library and sat down on
the biggest rug. who in the world
wants to look at books all the time?
They say, look at the pretty pictures!
and I'm so tired of pictures"
But Mary Jane, despite her funny
talk, was an obedient little girl, and
could be counted on doing nearly as
she was told. She went over to the
bookcase. pulled two big books care
the rug to look at them. But she
couldn't get interested in the pictures
Il believe I'd rather play dolls" she
said to herself, but mother said
books.
Just at that very minute an idea
struck her-ideas do act that way some
times, you know! She sat perfectly stin
minute. Then she exclaimed That's
the very thing! Why didn't | ever think
of II before! And it's playing with books,
tool"
Without another world she set to work.
If you had peeped in at the window just
then, you would have seen busy, happy,
little girl-but you never in the world
could have guessed what she was doing.
What DO you suppose It was?
First she went to the bookcase and
pulled out several books of medium
size. Then four big thick books and
one. only one, great broad, thin one.
Those she laid on the floor in the mid
die OF the big rug where she had been
sitting.
Then, had you been watching, you
would have seen her go to the waste
basket and carefully pick out several
pieces OF paper. CYou see. Mary Jane
was allowed TO cut up any paper, letter
or envelopes that were thrown away.)

1t was nothing but rose l gave her,
Nothing but a rose
Any wind might rob of half it's SAVIOR,
Any wind that blows
When she took it from my trembling
fingers
With a hand as chill

Stays, and thrills them still!

Crumpled fold on fold;
Once il lay upon her breast, and ages
Cannot make it old!

In one hour, there was held in that
library, a lovely party-a dinner party
given by paper dolls cut out of the
wastebasket papers! The table was the
big thin book set carefully on a pile
of the medium-sized books. The chairs
were the four fat volumes and the
dishes, as well as the guests were cut
from envelopes by one busy little girl.
And such a gay party as 1t was, too!
Mother, way in the other room, heard
the talk and came to investigate. What
this | hear?' she asked as she walked
into the library. ITS a dinner party.

clared it was the best she had had for

and she poured another cup all around.

THE BACKWARD DAYS

When Father Time Went to Sleep
By Bob Williams
When Sol went down In Funny Town,
He wouldn't always stay;
Some Times he'd pop right back again.
And start a Backward Day.
Instead of moving East to West,
He'd go from West to East;
The Reason was because the Sky
Was full af Magic Yeast!
You see. the sun would start 10 set,
With many means and signs,
And then the Yeast would start 10 work
And Sol would have TO risel
