1SEElNG EYES" AND "GOLDEN
GLOVES EAMILY,"

Dear Junior: Today on this page
besides the very interesting letters
written by the Juniors are two other
stories, 1.-THE Golden Gloves Family
and Seeing Eyes" We are so i'm.
pressed with the themes of both stor-
les we are asking the Juniors to
read them carefully and apply the
principles of each. We especially
want all the Juniors to belong to the
Golden Gloves Family" However,
"Seeing Eyes," also teaches one a
wonderful lesson.
The prize winners today are Fran
ces Boley and Francis Ryan. The lat
ters story was in last week, a book
review. "Customs of Brazil

to be connected; but we don't have tt
have any Central, we can make ou
own connections. One way to maxi
connections is to train our seeing eyes
Why, if we have seeing eyes. wei
always be interested. We can't hell
it. Think how little we do know, anc
how much we can know. Just this
morning you have all learned very
few very little things, and it has beer
fun, hasn't it? Just think of all the
| fun we can have always! Think OF
all the trees and flowers and grasses
and birds and little Gravity bugs and
lovely flying butterflies and dragon
flies, and-and everything! know the
most interesting things about dragon
flies!" Aunt Madge's cheeks were
pink and her eyes were shining.
, "Tell us about them" chorused the
children.
mot today" Aunt Madge shook her
brown head. But I'll send for some
books that will help US all to have
more seeing eyes"
In minute she went on, with sud
den seriousness: "Grumbly, unhappy
people never have seeing eyes. They
never make connections with joyous
:airyland. They shut their eyes tight,
their seeing eyes,-and all the sweet,
wonderful things right under their
noses are lost on them. But people
with seeing eyes are always nice, hap
py people. They never grumble that
time goes at snail's pace, no, their
days aren't half long enough"
Lets see how many different leaves
we can find before tomorrow's post
man-wait," said Jack eagerly.
"All right" agreed the other two
enthusiastically.
when you are gathering leaves"
suggested Aunt Madge, notice with
your new seeing eyes the different
kinds of bark that the different trees
have, and see how much you can re-
member to tell me tomorrow. You'll
be surprised Your seeing eyes will be
giving you nice little surprise parties
all the time. Listen! / hear a creak,
creak, and there's the horse!"
How de do" Mr. Clarkes greeting
was always so close an imitation of 4
ROSTERS crow that it was the chill
dren's Joy to hear him. Lots of mail
today! That's why I'm so late!"
Are you late?" said Aunt Madge, in
sr""-'ea. 1--WE didn't know it,
Half an hour late! Thought you'd
all be pretty impatient"
We've been playing new game"
said Jack and they all looked SO happy
and smiling that Mr.. Clarke volun
Must have been a pretty good
camel"
On the way up the little dusty, wind
ing path, Aunt Madge reminded:
Don't forget that you've all only be-
gun; and don't forget, too, that your
seeing eyes are useful for everything,
people as well as things. If you'll just
use your seeing eyes you'll discover
the incest things about people, and
often where you don't expect nice
things at ALL. Well play the game
hard all summer and l hope much
longer. There is no end to it, and each
chapter we play, even if it's only tiny
one. makes the next chapter more in.
teresting Isn't it fun to have found
q game that any one can play, and that
can't end, no matter how many peo-
pie play? Isn't this nice cool
porch?" she added. "And if here isn't

remarked that she had not been to
kindergarten for so long a time that
she "had completely lost the run of
days" She explained that "every day
the teacher writes 1t down on the

day it is" After q minute she asked,

while, how do they know when it gets

living in the country should put their
box number or failing to have a box

Anna Gould, she who once was

is Princess De Sagan, was anony.

Cling with a strange language, and
French tradesman, in a recent en-

was the embarrassed Yankee. He was
"using his hands more than his
tongue" when an authenticated WON
an who was standing near, broke into
the conversation and acted as inter-
prefer, using both languages with easy
grace.
Later she engaged Roberts in con-
versation. She finally volunteered the
information that she was an Ameri-
can, too; that she was married to a
Frenchman, and that they usually
lived in Paris, but had come out to
the country since the bombardment
by the long-range gun started.
She was very much interested in the
troops and invited Roberts to call on
her.
"And whom shall ask for?" he in
quired.
"Just 60 to the biggest house in
the village and ask for the American
lady," she smiled, moving away.
"Zat," said the Frenchman behind
Mort, bowling low as he spoke, "zat
