Dear Children: I have so many
interesting plans to talk to you

We will, I think, take them one

How would you like to have a
corner in our department for a
photograph album?
OF course you realize that we
would have to have some limit to
the pictures published and so I've
reached this decision.
The best letter each week, one
from a girl, one from boy, will be
printed at the head of our column.
We will request that boy and girl
to send us a good, clear photograph
and as soon as we receive it we will
have it put in our album. How soon
it appears depends entirely on how
soon we receive it. We will publish
the pictures in the order received
Don't you think that will be nice?
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.

read trashy books we will become trashy.
Let me recommend Dickens works to

good books. 1 enjoyed Pride and Preju-
