Away started the Twins over the
Seven Valleys to the Kingdom OF
the Korsknotts.
AS they passed the white palace
of the Princess Therma she gazed
sadly down from her window in a
tall tower.
She sighed, but not word Of
greeting could she call to them. She
had a secret that she dared to tell
no one.
She kissed a white dove and sent
it fiuttering down from her tower
10 the green meadow below where
the road ran. 1t perched on a fence
and then few toward the Twins and
settled on Nancy's shoulder.

are safely across the Seven Valleys"
II cooed, "for they are dangerous to
travellers. Besides Twelve Toes, the
Sorcerer, is still watching you from
afar. The first valley is the Curli-
cew Valley. The only way TO get
out OF it is by the postern gate. And
the postern gate is hard to find. But
I'll help you: don't get discouraged"
As the dove finished speaking the
Twins came TO a place that looked
like the edge of the world. They
were on a high precipice. Houses
trees and fields looked like toys be-
low them.
This is Curlicew Valley" said the
dove. 1.-The path down into it be-
gins behind that large rock over
yonder. Keep to the path and no
matter what you see don't turn aside
until I tell you

The dove flew away then, down

pals secure books and are reaping
considerable pleasure and benefit
thereby.
Mrs. J. H. Davidson has been good
friend to the library.
Many valuable services have been
received from her gratis and are
highly appreciated by the manage
ment and the librarian, Miss Mae Bar

the problem of a new home.
The Chapter will make formal pre-
sentation of the books, equipment and
library accessories to the people Of

nish maintenance and housing facili
ties for a municipal library.

course.
Mrs. V. V. Sessions of Baton Rouge
is the newly appointed chairman of

request expressed by many that the
federation should not maintain
lobby at the Legislature, but that a
Baton Rouge woman be appointed to
keep in touch with the progress of
the bills in which women are interest
ed; and to keep in touch also with the
women "back home" whose wishes
mean more to the representative than
any other influence. We hope that

It is a good rule not to criticize

you have proven that you can do
the thing better than he is doing it.
If all of US should follow this rule
