AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

Dear Junior Friends: I saw a picture in a book the other day which was a scene of a pageant given by 8,000 girls on the sheep meadow in Certral Park, New York city and I wondered if you have thought how very popular pageants are and how often they are played. Pageants hive a long history they were first, several hundred years ago at least tableaux shown on movable platforms which were tak?n through the streets in a parade. They have recently in England and America grown to be much bigger affairs, more closely held together in idea and often very splendid in costume and scenery. Music,

u.'-Mng and acting by groups of people instead of by just a few important Ccs have Important parts in pageantry. Pageants wTf given for religious services and then later for royal weddings and when gpnie one was crowned king or queen. The earliest one in England as told in record was in 1G36 at the time of a royal murriage in Canterbury. One given in honor of Queen Elizabeth in Keilworth Castle is said to have been very splendid. Pageants and parades are often held on holidays or times of merry-making as they were when Spencer, an English poet, writing in the sixteenth century said: "Out of the mista that round thee lie, come forth, O spirit of year gone by; Thy magic wand wave o'er the scene, transform it to a castle green.

Where happy folk, in pageant gay, make old time English Holiday. i Now however, we know that they have great value as a way of expressing something that great groups of people are Interested in hearing, besides being a form of entertainment. What people interested in pageants are seeking is to make this way of expressing something whether it is a beautiful ideal or thought, or the story of some state or town's early days, whatever it may be as beautiful and as clearly understood as possible. So they study for colors that are beautiful together for scenes which make the action seem more real for music and dancing and posing that express the idea behind the various scenes DnicrHfta nf thp nflpra.nL

A pageant nowadays seems to be a community entertainment, treat groups of people being interested in their presentation. Another thing that makes them so enjoyable is that they are given out doors. Nature herself seems to give the very best background for most pageants. The first pageant (to really call itself by that name) was given not so far from us. It showed the story of the early settling of the neighborhood around Marietta, Ohio, and was given in that town in 1888 In 1916 many people went to Indianapolis to see the extensive pageant which showed the history of the state of Indiana from the time it was explored by La Salle to that year 1916 which was the hundredth year after the state became a part of the union. Two interesting though in a different way pageants are taken part in by many people in two of our large cities, and all people of those cities think of the events asholidays. One of them is the Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and the other, The Festival of the Veiled Prophet in St. Louis! In many places flower and harvest festivals are held. Twice during the past week a most interesting pageant was given on the out door stage at Earlham college. Thi3 pageant told the story ( of the seeking ior an ideal development as a college on the part of Earlham from the days when it was founded 75 years ago until now. Mar.y of you have taken part in pageants and are interested in j

being in them and m watching mem

ing your stitches about one quarter of an inch from the cut edge, so that they will not show when the second row is put on (see figure 3). Be very careful when beginning the second row around to circle it slowly, so that there will be no sudden curve. To splice on another strip of crepe, slip one fold inside, of the other, with the edges turned in. To face the brim, cut a strip of

crepe twTCT X' of brinj crosswise of the maT?1 fi? iAd

through the center. Paste the tu.-'

ed edge of crepe to the outer edge of the brim and fit to ehape. The inner edge is sewed. For the crown, follow the same directions as for the brim, starting at the bottom (see figure 4). Finish your hat by putting a ribbon band around it of a suitable

color. You ought to be able to find

some scraps f silk or ribbons in the family ragbag that would be

just the thing. One girl who tried the hat shown in the picture made it of French blue crepe wilh a hand of black grosgrain ribbon. She says the hat would be pretty made up in "national" blue with apricot colored ribbon, or in straw colored crepe with a dark brown .ribbon. She isn't afraid to wear her hat out when showers threaten, either. When she finished it, before putting on the band, she brushed it

over with a liquid varnish known

as "chek". . There are different kinds of such varnishes on tho market, and they may be secured at most any department store. Hut you'd better look out if you make one of these hats. First time you wear it every one in the

neighborhood will be wanting you to make one for her just like it.

SECRET CODES HOW TO MAKE THEM

i Remember exciting stories you 've read in which the secret fcand wrote messages for each other in chalk on the side of a cliff? Remember how queer and meaningless those jumbles of queer-looking triangles, squares, and lines looked? Well, If you like you can make your own mystic coda to use in sending messages. A sentence

figure again, making a double line up and down. This gives us tho basis for the next four letters, If, V, W, and X For the last two letters, the triangle figure is used also, with tha double line this time running crossv wise of the figure. We use only the upper half, however, to form the Y and Z. Now you see how such a codo l

"Get Your Man"

At Manitoba a group of men

were standing in front of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police Headquarters. They were talking about the murder of Lt. James O'Neil. Soon more men came up, for Col. Handeler wes putting up a poster. It said, "Black McCready wanted for the murder of Lt: O'Neil."

CREPE PAPER MILLINERY

Miss Wine makes each hat herself before phe describes it. All the eight hats In this series are original models. She has been so successful with her paper hats that recently a Chlcugo theatrical company had her make al tho hats tor the women in its cast.

I paper hat fad has started, so if you , want to be in style, hurry down to the store and buy a fold of crepe paper in the color you want, and a buckram hat frame in a becoming

style.

To make the little hat illustrated

brim. Take your fold of paper and

Don't you get tired of wearing the same hat all the time? Don't you wish you could have a hat to match each dress, a hat just for

sport wear, and a light-weight hat that would keep those troublesome

freckles from making little settlements all over your face? You don't have to use silk and straw and flowers. You can make them out of paper pretty hats that look Just as nice as if they were silk, will wear as well, and are so easy to make that any girl can fix

To cut a strip of the crepe paper

evenly, slip it from the pocket the

required width and cut through the entire fold with sharp scissors, using the edge of the folder as a guide. Now fold these strips through the center lengthwise, as in figure 2, making the strips 1 inch wide and the length of the fold. Then, starting at the edge of the brim, lay the folded strip of crepe with the folded edge at tho outside and

brother. At the Settlement House there was a boy named Humpy. He had a violin and could play very well. Lt. Robert Brandenburg was standing before Col. Handeler: "Get Black McCready. Remember the rule of thV Royal Northwest Mounted Police 'Get Your Man if You Have to Go to the End of the World!' "

One could not tell where he was hiding. Perhaps in the Eskimo

huts or among the Indians.

Lt. Brandenburg started out. At

last be got a clue. McCready was going to Quebec. Spurring his

horse, he decided to head him off. Climbing up a high hill he saw the camp of McCready. Sneaking down, he got behind a large rock, hut McCready saw him. Drawing his revolver, he shot. He missed. This gave Bob a chance. Leaping forward he hit McCready, knocking him over, but McCready hit Bob a blow, which knocked him senseless. Black McCready then packed his tent and everything he had. He took Bob's revolver and took the

trail to the north. He had a cabin up there. Bob got up. He found

his gun gone. But there was one

thing McCready had overlooked. It was his prize knife and belt. As he was walking along, he came to the

cabin of O'Neil's father. Here he

got a clue. O'Neil's father told the

following story:

"As I was walking along I saw a

body. The snow was red all

around. It was my boy. When I got there I saw a piece of paper. Here it Is:

"I was taking McCready In and he got me and got away. lie was handcuffed, but he got the. key." Lt. JAMES ONEII,, "H. N.W. M. P." LL Brandenburg started. He got

a horse and gun from O Nell s

father. When he got a mile away

his horse stumbled. Brandenburg

written In such a code looks like

careless scrawling of aimless lines,

and no one can guess the meaning

that It contains. Here Is a special angle code that has been worked out Just for you. It has never been printed before, and you can use it if you like. It will show you the system by which such codes are made. The beginning of the whole thing is the cross lettered A, U, C, and 1). From this we get the four angles which form the start of the alphabet. To form the next four letters a double line Is drawn up

and down of the simple cross figure. This gives us K. F, G, and

II, as you may see by following the lettered angles in the lower part of

the illustration. For the next four letters the natural thing to do is to make a double line crosswise of the foundation figure. This forms the letters I, J, K, and L. Now the two systems of double lines are combined, forming a sort1 of double cross, and we have the letters M, N, O, and P. For Q. R, S, and T we go back to the first figure, the plain cross. We join the four ends of the figure, and we have four different trian

gles. These are separated off to make the four letters given. Now we use the four-triangle

worked out. It's all In forming some sort of key figure and making slight changes In it. Once you'va learned how the letters are mado you can easily figure them out. In making such a figure, the Jotters are made from left to right and from top to bottom. You must hava some such uniform way of working out a code. Any sort of message, of course, can be written in oue of these angle codes, but lt should not be so long that lt Is tiresome to read, lit; sure to leave plenty of Bpace between the different words In writing out sentences, and where you have more than one sentence leave a double amount of space between

sentences. Messages In this code can be drawn out neatly on paper with the aid of a ruler, or it can be done in chalk or charcoal. It makes no difference, just so you are sure to make the angles clear, so that the letters cannot be mixed up. Now Just dare some of your friends to read what you have written in a code like this.

felt his leg and found it was broken. Taking his pack, he went on. At last, he came to the snow country.

There ho hired a team of dogs and a sled. Soon he came to an Eskimo hut. Drawing his gun, he went in.

Seeing no one in there, he went In. There's where he made his

mistake. Hidden In a secret room was Black McCready. Whipping up his dogs, he went In the opposite direction. Brandenburg, feeling something wrong, took In the direction McCready had taken. Taking his field glass, he looked in that direction. Seeing a dog team, he started after the man in 'the dog team. Then there was a race. Manitoba had never

seen such a race. Both teams had1 large dogs.

One of Brandenburg's dogs stum

bled. This gave McCready another

chance. But Brandenburg was not whipped. Seeing an Indian, he gave the dog to film and went on. McCready had come to his cabin. As he slipped inside he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been, a little frightened. He supioscd Branden

burg to be miles away. But he was not. Brandenburg drew up In front of the cabin. Slipping over to the window, he looked In. Going into the oabin, he arrested McCready and took him back to headquarters. He had lived up to the rule, "Get Your Man!" John Charman, St. Mary's school.

In The Park

In the park, when spring is here, Children come from far and near. To a peddler man with toysTops and marbles for the boys, Battledores and shuttlecocks For the girls. In gay, new frocks; Skipping ropes, with Jingling bells On the handles, balls he sells, Air balloons that float away Oh, it is such fun to play In the park In early spring, When the wrens and robins sing!
