The Little Girl Mary

Once upon time there was little girl whose name was Mary. She was a poor little girl. Her mother was sick and she was too noor to get a doctor One day her mother told her to % out and play. Mary said You know you are sick and need care. Mary said she heard somebody rap at the door and ran to open it. A man walked in and said he wanted to see her mother. She said her mother was sleeping. The man was her father. but she did not know it until he told her. So Mary and her mother went away with him and have been happy ever since.

My First Experience in ceeAinx

Dear Uncle Jed: Mother had to,d Dor othy. and we could make some cake. We took all the material from the shelf which were necessary for the making of the cake except sugar as there was a scarcity at that time. It was hard to to make cake without sugar but we thought we would try it. l put a iot of baking powder in mine but Dorothy did not put any in hers. We put them in the oven to bake. When we opened the oven I thought that mother had cooked some gingerbread. She did moi say word and finally my brother came in and asked me flor g. piece of cake. gave him piece and we had piece our selves. but all of us were unable to- eai it as it was composed of red pepper, win egar- and many other ingredients which 1, were unpleasant to taste. f.4 New London.

 strata of cold air and strata of warmer air in motion. The stars that do not seem to twinkle are not stars, they are planets like our earth. There are. eight planets. Astronomers have found out by means of a prism and telescope that different

LOVE AND ADVENTURE IN AN UNKNOWN LAND


Every American %youngster with red blood and an magma
ton has day dreams of travelling to a strange land; Of finding
there a fair maiden ignorant Of the world; Of bringing her
home in triumph; Of teaching her to live and love. And here
you have the thrilling romance of such a man and MADAM
American with imagination, vigor ard a laugh" and 18-year-
cid Princess Heen Of Tau Kuan, Empire of the yellow Sun,
beyond the Great Wal Of China, older than the Tower Of
Babe, hidden from the eyes of all the world.
Adventure! It's in every column Of this strange journey
on a strange quest through a strange land where the traders
and thieves, despite their ancient b~Iood-feud. are always in
league against the traveller who would pass to the still
stranger land Of Tau Kuan, where a strange people worship
the strange "Koresh," with it's odor Of wine and cinnamon
and its sleep with dreams Of bliss.
This is no travel guide-book. The characters are not
automatons The hero is sophisticated and very human. The
heroine is unsophisicated and very unhappy. And there's no
c%haperon in this story. Also, for GOOD measure, there's an
Arab maiden, whose 'Eps are red and her robes but veAs."
what Would you Coz" is a question you will ask yourself
more than once, be you man or woman reader.
