Pictures Put in Hymnal

The rector had placed pictures
for Mrs. Mills in her hymnal and
Minnie" used the book. Mrs. Mills
refers to the incident in this letter:
Dearest, dearest boy, wasn't
happy to find sweet note, for l
don't expect you would risk leaving
one for me yesterday. Such deli
cious eclairs. And the book is more
interesting than you thought it
would be. As I read it we will talk
about it. My darling, how we'll you
seemed today. l must have caught
cold, but l don't know when, and
am tired today-want to lie dowr
with you and rest for hours.
"And, honey, you put the dear
pictures in my hymnal. Oh, yor
sweet, adorable Babykins of mine
Minnie used my hymnal for the
organ and I wonder if she saw them
Well, I don't care one bit. She
provokes me so at times, and to.
night if her flowers are still here
III put them in the kitchen. Not
that l am jealous Of Minnie, for
darling, there isn't anything to be
Jealous of. But l hate her to do fol
you what I thought of first. She
couldn't swear put flowers on youl
desk. She surmises it was I. Oh
poor Minnie, she is easily contenteo
with crumbs, isn't she, dear?
"How are you today, darling
you seem rested and happy. We
didn't have minute alone, but
will appear so at times.
Gan Life Is a Hunger"
dearest, I am not dreaming today
As | look out of the window I form nc
thoughts in my mind. Just n drifting
on staring at nothing in particular, as
| always do when l am tired. The
note left Yesterday was scribbled, but
had to hide it in my small orange
purse as l mot him. And please ex L.
cuse hastiness in writing sometimes as
l cannot be alone always.
"IIow glad I am school resumes ses :
sions tomorrow and I can be alone to
write. I could never belong to n club
or go where there is inccssant laughter
and conversation. need my dream
times. my hours alone and other people
irrltatc and disturb me.
There isn't much of interest in the
papers today. One line in an article
says all life is hunger and how true
that Is. A hunger for what will sat
isfy, but what variety of tastes !r
people and because you and I hunger for
the same things there is a meaning 70,
our longing to be together as much a,
possible.
MY love Is deep. calm. quiet today
am in mood to listen to music.
Overhears Some Gossip
Yesterday ! was talking to Mrs
Burns. Couldn't pass and not listen
as she was ready for conversation. She
was saying some one next to Hopkins

queer people. Told Mrs. Hopkins they

to understand that, Of course. and my

language that Mrs. B. used, but I LEI
her rave. l hate 10 talk to the Burnses
and never do If I can avoid It, but a,
times ] must be polite even il 1t is to
listen to her ignorance, and, honey min,
isn't this true?-I live in different
world.
To-day I am not wide awake. all
not sad, but quiet. Yesterday I wa,
rollicking. Oh, | love those moods
They mean intense life fire. OF course
dear, the people who live next to Hop,
kins' really meant that they had differ
ent aims, conversations, education, in.
telects, than some people. But Burn,
cant understand that. What are tn,
Burnscst lgnornnr" that screeches lik
a screech owl. The very air is tainted
with their warped minds.
She Would Build Love Nest
ooh, darling, if | had an income o.

where | could dream unmoested and no
care If l ever saw people to talk to
