Answers to Correspondents.

Mrs. r. F. G. asks: DO you believe in
telling fairy stories TO chiIdren?''
have been asked that question many
times, but as Mrs. r. F. G. is a new

emphatically believe In telling and read
ing fairy stories to children. They need
them at certain stage Of development
and they will not be completely equipped
mentally without them.
Thank you, dear little Verna s., for the
kind invitation to visit you and your
mother and tell you a lot Of pretty
stories II I ever come to your part Of
the country. be sure I Will come to see
