Dearest Helen inc Girls:
Really / ought to be ashamed OF
myself for neglecting you so long,
but that old bugbear homework as

any more excuses, but will get down
to business.
I was so glad to see that some
girls responded to h call for stories
and I wish to compliment "Kewpie."
AFlower" and "Dimples H." as their
stories were fine. have another
story to send in, but / don't know
whether it will be as good as the ones
the girls mentioned above sen in.
But I will leave that to Helen's judg-
ment
A few days ago a friend asked
me why the girls didn't sign their
own names. / really couldn't give
any definite answer, but I think that

names girls think up-and also very
interesting.

You can't imagine now happy I am
to see our column growing SO. When

your daily mai must be getting as
large as that of a popular movie

promised us. I am sure there are a
great many girls who would like to
have the list. but I probably couldn't
read any of them at present as I am
very busy with my music and home
work. I am taking up thirty-twe
points in school this year. But the
list shall be saved for future use.
I started a suggestion about pins
and it is still up to the girls to de
eide. Now even If we are deivine
