Mrs. Ebbs: I am a pretty little girl who is stuck on myself, with a very quick temper and talk too much; also rather loud at times. Lizzie. Your questions are very much out of the ordinary. Whoever heard of a girl being stuck on herself and with a quick temper? But any girl who admits she talks to much and loud at times deserves mention. Your kind are very few. Mrs. Ebbs: What do you think of a young man who holds my hands in a picture show? Anxious. If you and the young man were married, I'd say he was holding your hand to keep you from striking him. Mrs. Ebbs: My husband has desorted me all of twenty times. Shall I go back and get mother? No, I would not bring your mother into your affairs, for you very seldom ever see a case where the mother-in-law's ideas agreed with the husband's. Mrs. Ebbs: What can I do to prevent my baby from putting his fist in his mouth? Mrs. J. Muzzle him! llrs. Ebbs: My iife has been a miss. Can you advise me how to live more happy? Miss K.

The questions will be answered in rotation, so do not expect the answer to be printed in the tame week in which you send It in. Dear Aunt Polly: Can you tell mo when Flower Day is? (Thank you.) Your friend, Dorothea. Dear Dorothea: I have looked everywhere that I and many others can think of and cannot find and Flower day. It isn't a National holiday, and as far as I know is not observed by any state. It must be a day observed by a certain locality. . Where did you know of its being observed? If you will tell me that, we will look into it further and see if we can find this Flower Day that is such a tease and so hard to catch. It is a lovely idea. We have special days for so many beautiful things that it is nice to think of a special day: all in their honor, isn't it? Are you going to have a flower i garden this summer? Vegetable, gardens are fine, and very useful and very much needed, but I wanti a flower garden, too, don't you Aunt Polly. Dear Aunt Polly: I am a country girl and live in the Buckeye state. I wish you would please tell me the address and name of some one who would tell me all about the Camp Fire Girls, and how to organize. How old do you have, to be to join? What is the object or the Camp Fire Girls? Of the Girl Scoots? How old do you have to be in order to join the Girl Scouts? Thanking you for your advice, I am, I. M. C. Dear I. M. C: Oh, I am so glad you, too, are interested in the Camp Fire Girls and the Girl Scouts. They are both splendid ! I believe you have to be twelve years old to join either the Camp Fire Girls or the Girl Scouts. The object of both Is to be finer and more "all round" girls than ever. And they are so much fun, too! Miss Catherine Reese, Garfield School, Richmond, Indiana, would be very glad to tell you anything you want to know about the Camp Fire Girls if you will address a letter to her. The address of the Camp Fire Girls' headquarters is 41 West 24th street, New York City. Mrs. Alva Jones, 8 "4 North Tenth street, Richmond, Indiana, will also gladly tell you about the program of the Girl Scouts, as she is captain of the local troop. The address of their headquarters is : Girl Scouts, National Headquarters, One Madison Avenue, New York City. I hope you girls in the "Buckeye State" organize one of these camps or troops real soon. Write us all about it when you do organize, won't you? We will be anxious to hear all about it, Aunt Polly. Dear Aunt Polly: I want to ask you a question. Who built the Giralda of Seville? Norton Cowles. Starr School. Dear Norton: j Isn't that an interesting old tower? I Well, it was built in two parts, and by two different men. The" entire tower, as it now 'stands, is about 295 feet high. The lower part, about 185 feet of it, was built In the latter half of the twelfth cen-

This style started in Italy and about that time was beginning to interest people all over Europe. Did you know that this old belfry tower is the finest thing of its kind in Europe? Aunt Polly. Dear Aunt Polly: How many children has President Wilson? What are their names? How many children has William Howard Taft, the twentyseventh president of the United States? (Thank you.) John N.

There's Queen and Maud and doll and Bess; The horses, they're the beauty first, But there's the gander, he's the worst Next comes The cows, with a low moo! When Grandpa says to me and you, "Those cows give milk so fresh and sweet, , That milk for you 1b sure a treat." Then comes the calves, the sweet litUe things. Right to their mamas the little things cling. Well then there's the chickens, theyre awful sweet, too; Let's help grandpa feed them, me and you. That's why I like the farm so well, I like it better than tongue can tell, But I'm ready to go home when vacation is o'er, And ready to go back to the farm once more. Ruth Irene Miller.

May Festival A Success "la it possible to learn to play the violin by ensemble (which just means class lessons here) playing?" "Possible! Of course it is!" This conversation was overheard recently and was remembered after the concert given by the violin students at the first concert of the four splendid ones given by the pupils in the Richmond schools, the Annual May Festival. Although the classes in violin started only a short time before Christmas the demonstration, "the night of May 9, proved that great possibilities lie in this kind of work. Professor Frederic Hicks is the instructor in these classes. The class playing was very interesting to all the people present All the soloists played well that night too, especially Richard Campfield and Elizabeth Mote. ' All the players in the Garfield Orchestra did well, as did the soloists from that organization: William Hornaday, Ruth Otte anl William Marshall. The Garfield girls in their cantata, "The Gypsy Queen," gave a pleasing interpretation of that number and gave a successful ending to the evening. "The Legend of the Gypsy Queen," sung by Mary Alice Collins and Naomi Diets was very beautiful. The students in vocational music the already very well known and very well liked sextette, gave the second concert of the series, the evening of May 12th. Miss Mildred Whitely , and Helen Louise Wickett piano. Margaret Wlssler, violin, Helen Geers, soprano, and Roland Hockett, clarinet, were the soloists for the evening, aside from the members of the Sextette, and greatly pleased the appreciative audience that was there on that evening. The sextette was its same highly musical self, and played with its same intelligent interpretation and delightful ease. All of its numbers and the solo parts by its members were greatly enjoyed. On Wednesday evening. May 14, the Apollo chorus gave an admirable concert This chorus is made up , of selected voices with Mr. Ralph Sloane as director. The voices were clear and full and understanding of the pieces they sang was evident. The chorus "Be Not Afraid?" from Elijah was the biggest number on the program and was splendidly sung. J. Corwia Brown of the High school Sextette played a solo with brilliance and expression and was warmly applauded. The last concert was given by the High school orchestra and added a final triumph to the series of programs given by the school department of music. One of the most beautiful things they played was the "Andante" from the wonderful Fifth Symphony by Tschaicowsky, but all the numbers were interesting and well given. Miss Mary Jones played a violin solo in her usual artistic and charming manner, and Marius Fossenkemper, a clarinetist of unusual ability, played three movements from the "Grand Duo Concertant in F Major," by Von Weber. The concerts were all Just splendid and showed a great deal of talent. The best thing about it, is that it was all done by the children of the Richmond schools as a result of their study in the school music department, which makes us think that we will have more and more, and better and better music all the time. Mr. Sloane and his assistant, Miss Edna Marlatt, are to be highly congratulated on the success of this year's May Festival.
