When Pagecdy Ann chased The three selfish old men out of MT. Tunky's store, the three men ran as fast as they could go, for they had great many bumps upon their heads where Raggedy Ann had thumped them with the invisible broom. And, when they had put sticking plaster upon their heads they began to plan how they could get the best of the Raggedys and get MT. Tunky's fine little etore for their very own.
 T know where a witch lives." one brother said. Less run to her house and ask her to help us. Then we will take the store away from her and have it all ourselves"
 "Ha, Ina, hal" the other two brothers laughed. We can easily tool the witch"
 If she will just help us get the Raggedys and Mir. Tunky out of the store, then we will soon throw the Witch out and not let her in again."
 So the thre, selfish old men ran through the woods until they came 10 the home Of the witch.
 "Oh. Mrs. Witch. Put your head out Of the window, we wish to talk with you" the three selfish men cried.
 What in the world do you want" the witch asked as she put her head out of the window.
 We wish you to go with Us to Mir.

Letter from Ruth Burke to Leslie
 Prescott.
 We'll, here we are back home again. It doesn't seem like home to me, Leslie, without you here. ] haven't been able to get hold of Jack, and I may as well tell you that there's a pretty kettle of fish at your apartment. That Bradford woman has kicked up thee usual muss. Your cook has left, and if Sarah hadn't been with you so long, I am sure she would do so also.
 Mrs. Prescott tells me her son is 30 busy he has not been home for a week except to sleep, coming in very late at night and leaving very early in the morning, Sarah tells me privately that he hasn't been home at all, but has contented him. self with calling up 10 find out about little Jack. Miss Anderson visited me at the shop today, and told mo that even she could not stand it much longer.
 Last night Waiter and I dined al the Little Club, and over in one cor rer we saw Sally Athcrton and Jack. Now, dear, I don't think thero is one solitary bit of harm in Jack s attention to that woman. He's very lonely, and what a lonely man will do, is not 10 be conceived in the mind of woman.
 Mrs. AthertOn spied Waltcr and me first, and said something to Jack, I knew he was embarrassed. but she seemed to be as cool as ever. l think iEhe told him to Invite us over 10 their table, for rather reluctantly he came over and after greeting Walter. whom he had not seen since we got here, he asked us to come over and eat with them.
 l asked Jack when you were com- Ing home, and he said he did not think you were coming for qu,te q while, that he was going to take the baby down to you as soon as his business would let him It was then that Sally Atherton said a most pc culiar thing.
 "Why didn't you tell me, MT. Prescott, that you wanted 10 gct away ?" she said, I'm sure l could manage perfectly well If Leslie wants to see her boy, she ought 10 have him immediately Why don't you go tomorrow"
 It seemed to me Jack was sorry he had spoken, for he evaded an swering her, but all through the din- nsr she kept referring to it, and finally she said to me;

"oh! Mrs. Graham" Mollie Faw- eetts voice held a note of genuine distress as she camo breathlessly up to Katherine and nc. T am so afraid I have done or said some thing l ought DO. Your maid----I thought---I wonderecd----'
 She was covered with a confusion as pretty as lt was sincere, and my heart unexpectedly warmed 10 the child.
 "My maid is a very silly woman" '" l said quickly and you must not mind anything she says or does. l will see that she doesn't annoy you, but l think it perhaps would be ss well If you avoided speaking to Jim as much as possible, and ac- cepting any service from him while you are here"
 Her face was dyed scarlet hy the time I had finished, and she put out her hands to me with an un- conscious little gesture of appeal.
 "Is-This Where"
 Truly l did not mCan----' she began, broke off and startea again. "He and that boy Jerry, asked me if I would like to ride the horse, and I've always been crazy to try riding. Oh, Why do l always get into-why do things like this have to happen to me-
 She was almost weeping by thls lime, and l took her shoulder in q friendly grasp and gave her tiny shake.
 If you really want to know why things like this happen to you l said, laughinglN suppose you take a good long look into your mirror when you so to your room. That 5 the only answer, and you may be sure that you have done nothing at all to offend me or even to annoy me In the slightest degree. l would not speak to you about the matter at all, only that my maid, who has served me faithfully ever since my marriage, is extremely tempera . mental, and I do not wish her up- set. But you must not worry about 1t any more. Indeed, the matter isn't worth another thought l have something more pleasant for your consideration. Wouldn't yQn like to come down to Mir. Graham's out door studio now, and look at his sketches?"
 Her face frightened instantly and her eyes were starry.
 "Oh! I'd love it." she said with pretty enthusiasm.
 Then we'll do it now, l laugh sngly quoted. Katherine won't you rome, too? There are some new things Dicky has done which think you may like to sec"

STUDY SCOUTING BY MAIL

That boy scout leaders and prospec- tive scout leaders everywhere can now study the ins and outs of the art of scoutmastering, under their own reading lamp. Is shown in the recent first report of the home study course in scoutmastership, conducted by the extension department of Columbia uni yersity under the supervision of the department of education, Boy Scouts of America. In one year 2o4 scout masters, some commissioners. scout executives and other leaders enrolled for the course. The registrations came from every state in the Union. chiefly from scoutma sters in small towns where leadership training was not available. Among the students en- rolled were two in Hawaii and one each in Australia, China and India.
 The course has been developed to acsist scoutmasters to solve the vari- cus problems of troop management, meeting program, hike and camp ac- hvities, instructions and tests, patrol organization and the like The course consists of 8 directed study of the handbooks reinforced by additional booklets on the technique of scouting, and focused by the personal advice of the instructor of the course.
 That the course is of practical value Is shown by the comments received. One scoutmaster reported improved discipline; another. better results from his patrol leaders; third. great increase in the number of tests passed. One student declared that he owed his promotion to the position of deputy commissioner to his increased eff ciency as a result of taking the course.
 Information about the course can be secured by addressing the Home Study Department Columbia University, 419 West One Hundred and Seventeenth Street, New York City.
