AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

Dear Juniors: Remember how pleased Beauty was when the entered the Beast's house? She was glad to find such an attractive place, wasn't she? Why do we have brightly covered chairs and cushions and curtains and rugs? Many people spend their lives in making beautiful things to put in our homes and offices and public buildings. Is it . worth while? Would we be just as well off in houses which have nothing on the floors nor walls, and nothing at the windows? We do not believe we would be. We feel sure we are happy to live in homes which are simple to be sure but bright and attractive with rugs and curtains, pictures and ornaments which like to be together because their colors blend and their lives correspond. We can work better in homes and schools like this than in places where the colors of paper and curtains and rugs dislike each other and are always ready to fight and whore the lines of the room and the kind of furniture do not agree. Many people interested in art have started out not so much to make one or two great works of art which can only be' seen by a rather small number of folks (though of course we need and want these masterpieces, too) but to make beautiful things within the reach of

everybody. So they have worked for beauty in line and color in the homes, have made wall and window hangings and vases and furniture and pictures and china to be used in making homes more beautiful

and inviting, instead of things which live in galleries or museums.

People who do these things, who bring Beauty to live wherever

Work lives are working in what we call arts and crafts.

Every year in the public art gallery we have an exhibit of arts and crafts. Right now as many of you know, that exhibit is "on" (that sounds as if we were talking of electric lights, doesn't it?) it is hanging in the gallery. Mrs. Johnston, who has charge of it says it

is the best ever held in Richmond and many of us are planning to see it, if we haven't seen it already. Six people (at least we will call

them people) who help to make homes and places where we work

places where we like to be, are Mr. Plan and Mr. Thought and Mr. Taste and Mr. Work and, may I add, the Gold Dust Twins, who help to keep homes attractive. Money is not needed so much as the helpers

we have named. We are glad to think that people like to work in arts and crafts and spend their talent and time in bringing beauty into the places where we live, aren't we? Your Junior Friend, AUNT POLLY.

Edward Reis, of St. Andrews, Writes of George Washington

George Washington was born on February 22, 1732. When he was old enough, he went to a little log school house In a field, so it was

called a field school. They always

used to play games but the best game was to play army. One of

the sides was called the British and the other side was Americans and they had cornstalks for guns, and for drums they tied a rag around a gourd and that was a drum. His father had a large tract of land and he grew tobacco. When it was dry he used to take it and bundle it up and sell it and make money that way. None of the boys in the school could jump, leap or swim as well as he could. At the age of eleven, his father died, so his mother said she would have to try and be father and mother, both, of George and the other children. She made them obey and serve

men came after him, George saw

his mother with tears in her eyes. He did not go and afterwards he

was a surveyor and he measured land. At night, he sat by the camp

JANCS Trego Montgomery ) Otf

Billy and his mother, their fun all over, were taken back down in the ship's hold, and tied up tightly, and it was the last time they got loose until they landed in America. "At any rate," said Billy's mother, "we are together." "I don't know how we can stay together, though," said Billy, shaking his head. "I belong to Frank Brown and, so far as I can tell, you don't belong to anybody. If you only did, maybe Mr. Brown would buy you, although I don't believe he wants me any more." And Billy was right about Mr. Brown's not wanting any more goats. The day they landed Frank Brown went to claim his goat. Billy and his mother were still together, but as Frank was about to take Billy away a woe-begone

looking little fat man came rushing up. "Those should be my goats yet!" he exclaimed. "Your goats!" said Mr. Brown, rather angrily. "Why, man, that one- with the singed spots on his back we have just brought over with us from France." "It makes me nothing out!" exclaimed the. man. "They should been my goats! I know them both like it was mine own brother and sister, yes! I know the biggest one by such a black spot on her forehead and the other one by such singed places like vat iss on his back. So! I should bring them both over from Havre, and our ship got such wreckness in the big thunder weather, and Ach, I could cry mit weeping. My name is Hans Zug and I am a poor man. Yes! I had more as two hundred goats

and these two is . all whart I got now, and if you take them away I don't got any No!v ' . One of the sailors -from the cattle ship who had been taken ou board with Billy's mother came up just then and said Hans waa telling the truth. Mr. Brown looked perplexed. "It's true," he said, "that we got this goat out of the ocean. It is scarcely possible that two goats should be burned exactly alike and this one either slipped loose from our carriage in Havre or was taken away from us there by this man. I have already paid twice for it; once in Europe, once on the ocean, and now I am expected to pay for him a third time in America. Frank, get your goat and come on. Poor Hans did not know what to say or do. Mr. Brown was evidently rich and powerful and Hans

was afraid he might get himself into trouble. He looked so miserable, however, that Mr. Brown relented, and taking out his pocketbook, handed Hans some money. "Here," ho said, "I'll buy this goat again and then I'll be tempted to hire somebody to hang it, only I'm afraid some butcher would sell it to me a fourth time for mutton," ' . Frank giggled at : this and his father, too, cleared up his anger in a laugh. Then Billy, in spite of all his mother's bleatings, was led away from her. Within an hour he was put in a baggage car of a train for the west where the Browns lived. This time he was not crated but was tied to a ring with a stout rope.

RIDDLES

dared George to ride the horse very

fast. So George jumped upon the horse and rode real fast. The horse

had gotten so hot that a blood ves

sel broke and the horse died. When his mother saw this she asked him about the horee and he told his mother he had done it. Because he never did tell a lie. When he quit school he asked his mother if he could be a sailor, and his mother contented, so when he was dressed up like a sailor and

trouble with us, George was made

commander-in-chief of the Amen

can army. And, later, he was the

president of our . country and he served two terms. During his eight years in the presidential chair he ruled the country so nicely they wished to put him up for the third time, but George would not, and he went home to Mt. Vernon.

This great man, who was first In war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, died at Mt. Vernon, December 14. 1799. Edward Reis, grade 5, St. Andrews' school.

Three children on Staten Island

New York, are very pleased with a

letter which President Harding

wrote to hPm, and a photograph of

the president and his wife, on

which both of their names are

signed.

These children are John Cornell age 12 years, and his 3 sistera

Cathleen, aged 7, and Margaret

aged 5. The letter was a friendly one, thanking them for an enor

mous pumpkin which these child

ren had raised, and when it grew

to be so large that it was said to be the largest ever seen in that district, they decided to send it to

the president. The big pumpkin weighed 35 pounds and was packed in a sugar barrel for its journey to

tne white House.

At me time tne pumpkin was

sent, a letter with the children's

pictures, was sent to the president

Immediately an answer came to the

children, from the president's sec

retary, thanking them for the

pumpkin which had been received, Then, several weeks later, a let

ter came to them, addressed to

John, from President Harding, and

written in his own handwriting, Part of his letter follows:

"I want you and them (John's sisters) to know how thankful Mrs. Harding and I are to have received

the wonderful pumpkin through

your thoughtfulness and generous consideration. It was really a very

wonderful pumpkin. I think I may say this somewhat as an expert, because I can recall the days when I grew them myself. "You children of today are look

ing forward with the hopefulness of youth to the accomplishments of tomorrow, and it is most gratifying to know of your confidence and good will. Invited to the White House "Sometime, perhaps, you and Cathleen and Evelyn and Margaret will be visiting the national capitol. If yon happen to come while I am in office, I hope you will call upon me and give me an opportunity to thank you in person. "Very truly yours,

"WARREN G. HARDING." Across his photograph, tho president had written, "Kindly accept my appreciation for the biggest pumpkin ever received at the White Houfe." This story waa received by three Richmond juniors, Miriam, Marguerite and William Burbanck, from their grandfather, who lives on Staten Island; and tbey knew Junior readers would be interested in reading It.

Dear Aunt Poly: I think I have the answer to the riddle that Flossie Lowdenslager had in the Junior for the evening of February 11. The answer is: The father is a year; twice six sons the twelve months; thirty daughters days of the month; the white cheek is the day; the black cheek is the night. Alvin Reeves, grade 8, St. Mary's school. Dear Alvin: Good for you! That certainly sounds right. " Wonder if Flossie will say it is. Aunt Polly. ANOTHER JUNIOR GUESSES LAST WEEK'S RIDDLE
