Dear Little Folks: L had such a
sweet note from very small cousin
the other day asking f. another
Pixie story, and I've been searching
my minds storeroom and what do
you think 1 found? A wee Wind
Pixie, sitting quiet in the corner,
just waiting to tell you all about
herself. This is her story:
My mother is the South Wind and
my father the North Wind; there
are four Of us children, Northeast,
my Oldest brother; Northwest, my
oldest sister; my little brother,
Southeast, and myself, Southwest.
You see we are quite a family and
while we seem so far apart to many
people, we are always playing and
scampering among the lovely clouds.
That is why you so often see the
AASSSJ SAOooo 81 4AOl y 11lG0 IAlAo clN
and that.
One day felt very sad. The 9TH
err children all had some plaything.
T.-ere was the top of mountain. 1t
would be such fun if Northeast
would let me play with him there,
but, no, he just whirled round and
round, all by himself and had a roar
ing, lovely time. Northwest had a
beautiful big bank of gray Clouds
in and out she went, draping the
clouds around her like a beautiful
dress, but she did not want little
folks" to worry her. There was
Southeast; he had one of the most
pouring rains, just Big, shining
drops, and they made him look like
a thousand diamonds Whirling when
h. blew through them-but where
could I find something for a play
fellow? 1t was getting late and !
was very, very tired.
Suddenly my father, the North
Wind, said: Little daughter. YOU
are so busy envy.ng your brothers
and sisters that you can not see
your own beautiful sunset" and
sure enough, when I looked, there
was a lovely red ball of a sun and
the Cttintiest pink Clouds I forg~t
all about the other children's pIay
| things and in a few moments was
happy and content-my own play
things were best. Lovingly
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Folks: It's been quite a while Since
| We written to our wonderful page How.

| 1t seems to me that the letters written r.
I t tne Letter Box this year have been more in

! Aunt Julia, I'm copying few quotations
which think are excellent:
Have you somewhat to do tomorrow
! Do 1t today"
"A slip Of the foot you may soon recover.
But slip Of the tongue you may neye,
| get over" II
| Make haste slowly"
For age and want save while you may:
no morning sun lasts a whole day."
Speak little; do much"
One today is worth two tomorrows."
