to read. Some children are so fright
ened that they dream of them nights
and wake up screaming with fright.
Are such things right?
Esther, / would like to have your
scrap books to read, for love all such
reading. l started one years ago but
pasted into a log book" and it soon
came out of binding, so is in the loose
leaf" style.
l suppose you are all in the usual
hustle of canning, haying and berry
ing. What hurry it is from one day
to another, to keep things all moving
Well, Jennie, my "glads" are budded.
Row are yours? Pray tell, what has
become of "Betsey Prig?" l think one
| of her CHEEKY letters would liven us up
a lot. Please don't think of hearing
from Aunt Maria, for / heard the other
| day that she was married to her new
| l. ONE, and if that is so, of course she is
on her honeymoon and can't write let
tiers. Saw Uncle Mark this week. He
was as smiling as ever.
| Now l must give the rest a~chance.
so with best wishes will close.

The GLAD" bulbs you sent me are
coming on fine. Come and see them

Dear Aunt Madge:
A. NJ Y. sent me off for weeks va
cation to my old home, and such a good
time as l had racing here and there
and everywhere. l visited one spot
lot 81
girl so it brought up recollections of
days long gone by. 1t is beautiful
SPOT where nature and art are blended
in a very pleasing manner.
/ also had the great pleasure of Wis
iting Aunt Zida and eating one of
those molasses doughnuts that have
become so famous through the column.
] assure you it was a real pleasure not
soon to be forgotten to meet her again
| and find her looking so young and so
much the same in former years.
She accompanied me on round of
calls in the afternoon, and one call was
on Aunt Susan-byt he-Sea, whom l
have not seen before since she was
small girl, and much to my surprise
she guessed at once who l was. l am
hoping she will get to the reunion, if
| is at Bar Harbor. Bluehill seems so
| much farther away, and it is not easy
| for her to leave home in summer. Her
| mother, a dear, good woman. is with
her l had not seen her for many
years, and it added much to the pleas
| ure of my visit to meet her again.
| Now / think our NJ. BIS here are
| unanimous in voting Bar Harbor and
| the home of Narcssus for our gather
ing this year for as jasmine said, we
| think Aunt Madge ought to be relieved
of it. 1t makes the distance seem
much longer to those who live in the
northern and western part of the
| county, but autos shorten distances so
much that l think, with a little effort,
all may get there. Now, Esther and
Aunt Maria, cast in your vote for Bar
Harbor, and then up and come.
Aunt Madge has given us lots of
good things in the column, but am
wondering if there aren't others, with
Jasmine, who are suffering with a
guilty conscience. If so. take her way
of getting rid of it and incidentally
helping Aunt Madge a bit.
Glad for your helpful suggestions,
Esther, and think when l go blueber-
rying again l may put one of them in
practice,
S. j. Y.
I said "Oh dear me- when l came
to the place in your letter which said
your preferences were for BarHarbor
for the reunion. and / took letter
which came in the same mail from
Did" and she wrote, II don't want
to be selfish, but of course l could
come if it was at your daughters, so
