To the
School Children
OF the City of Washington

The person who brings joy to children is
happy person indeed; and the artist who makes
you laugh at his or her pictures, is your friend
just so long as he or she draws pictures that are
a pure delight to you. We, of The Herald, are
glad to introduce to you "The Kewpies.'
Rose O'Neill is a great artist. She has
grown rich drawing "Kewpies "-and the whole
world has an intimate acquaintance with the
little laughing creatures of her fancy. Until now
you had to be content with "Kewpies" as toys
or in picture books, but The Herald is going to
present them to you in four colors-a whole page
beginning Sunday. Be sure and ask father,
or mother, or auntie, sister, or brother, to get
you a copy of next Sundays Herald. Ask
teacher about the 'Kewpes." She will tell you
all about then1-then tell your friends.
For the boys we have a rare surprise.
"DWig, creator of School Days" whose real
name is Clare Victor Dwiggins, is going to draw
for you every Sunday four-color comic page
under the title, tom Sawyer and Hucklebeny
Finn, Up-to-date." Ask "Daddy" ".about tom
Sawyer.' Every real father knows all about
tom" and "Huck." He has laughed himself
"sick'' over the doings of these two boys-real
boys, filled with spirit of fun and adventure.
You will be impatient for the second series after
you have seen the first one, which appears in
The Herald Sunday
Where do you think "Tom'' is when the
picture unfolds? In the pantry with an eye on
the jam. The dog upsets the kitchenWare and
tom" is discovered by Aunt Polly and sent to
do his famous job of 'Whitewashing the fence.
There are eight views of the embarrassing,
and finally ''Tom'' and "Huck'' (and the dog)
are seen batting their hooks on the side of a
stream that is ''filled with fish. You ought to
see how tom" Whitewashed that fence. You
will if you buy next Sundays Herald.
Go right to father and tell him you have
laugh coming to you from next Sundays Her
aid. If he hestates, just say "Tom Sawyer.
He'll be so curious himself to see 'DWlg'S con-
ception of Tom Sawyer that he will be lmpa-
tent for Sunday to come:
That, children, is our message to you. 1t
