AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

Dear Juniors: I expect Tuesday evening was the first time you ever saw an elephant or a giraffe in the sky or in any place outside of a zoo or a circus tent, wasn't it? Those were however, just animals of fireworks and didn't need to be behind bars or tied to a post, did they? Now I do not know just how you feel about it. but I like to think most about some things when I'm far away from them, for instance, I used to be able to think of the dentist's chair and all the little implements and buzzers with especially high courage when my dentist had left the city for a month on a vacation trip. So perhaps you will enjoy thinking about school when you're having vacation, tho' I do not mean that school is really like a dentist's chair, something you appreciate only when you're through with it and have the benefit of the dentist's careful work for it isn't like that at all. We are getting to think more than ever that school is something we like best while we are there something which interests and pleases us and helps us to grow. There are several cities in the United States and their number is

growing where school continues one month or two months longer than

it does here, and in some places, it continues ail tmougn tne year, for 12 whole months, with a generous number of holidays included. Sometimes too pupils in the cities where school is held for 12 months, many take a vacation for a quarter (or three months), selecting any quarter thev wish. In New York City this summer G7 of the public schools are open and school work is going on much the same as it does here in Richmond in the winter time. Strange as it may perhaps seem to some of you people enjoy going to school and wish and feel the need of continuing to study long after they may cease going if they wish. Right here in Richmond last winter according to Mr. Fultz who was in charge of the night school in this city, 600 people went to night school the first semester and 635. the second semester. Most of these people went after a full day's work because they wanted to, because they wished to learn more about their work or some line of work in which they were especially interested. This happens every winter in a great number of larger towns and cities over the United States. Other countries too. and Germany is one of them are planning and holding schools and classes regularly for grownups or older boys and girls who left school and started to work early in life and who are now asking for more training

and more school life. I am writing about this because I thought you might be saying rather longingly. "Just wait till I get through school!" as we often hear folks say about the work they are doing. Success and happiness, though, I firmly believe can only come

from, planning ahead? yes, course, but especially from living thor

side. After the top has been secured in this way, fold the paper smoothly over the brim and pasto the edge to the inner side of the

brim.

To line the brim cut a strip of

the crepe paper the same width as the strip used on top, fold an

inch under on one side and paste to the top of the brim, as shown in figure 4. Shape the strip to fit and paste to the lower edge of the brim, folding in the rough edge as before. Completing the Hat Sew the crown and brim together aud paste or sew in a silk lining. The riTybon trimming is very pretty and not hard to put on. Short tabs about an inch long should be cut and pasted on at regular intervals, turning the edges under. A ribbon band is then pasted around the edge of the brim. Besides orange and white, green and white, black and white, or red and white hats made In this style will look well. It's much easier to paste a hat together rather than to sew one, isn't it? No worrying about getting the old stitches the same size. (Copyright 1922 Associated Kditors)

PART IV While the Old Witch Is Away One day the old witch said,"My dear Varus, you have proved so competent that 1 believe that I'll leave you in charge while I go on a long-desired visit to my only sister's, Witch One Ear. I shall be gone only a fortnight, and In the meantime, I want you to keep a close watch on Yeta." Varus threw his arms around the old witch's neck in pretending his admiration for her. but he was secretly delighted with her going away. It did not take her long to get ready, and soon Varus found j himself alone, with the witch well on her way. Quickly he ran to the kitchen and gently seizing Yeta in I

his arms, he sang: "Yeta, Yeta, drop your things, And let your heart with joy ring."

Yeta looked at Varus with ai

Making the Braid Cut the orange and the white crepe paper into stripes 1 inches wide across the grain of the paper. To cut a strip of the paper, slip the fold partly out of the packet,!

Sewing on the Braid

The buckram shape for this sport hat is a plain little model which turns up in front. Separate the crown from the brim and sew on the braid, round and round, starting at the bottom of the crown, as shown in figure 3. To cover the brim cut a strip of orange crepe paper (across the grain) two inches wider than tho

worst. Now that the witch is gone,

we can plan our escape."

"Varus, Varus, you mean that I come from a royal family, and that

you are my sister?"

"Aye, a royal family do you come from," he replied, "but I am not

your sister but your brother. Don't you see, Yeta? If I had not come disguised as a girl, the old witch would have been very suspicious of

my motives."

"Ah, yes," she replied, "I see it all so clearly now. What a noble brother you are to come to rescue

me!" And she buried her face in

her arms, crying for sheer joy. PART V The Escape of Yeta and Varus "We must soon plan some way to get rid of Fishhook Nose," said Yeta one day. "I have had it planned for many months," Varus replied. "But I must be getting busy. Tomorrow the witch returns, and she shall meet her death by her own band, for she has taught me so many things that I can now use. By the use of herbs, I am going to weave

and dye a sort of net, which will look exactly like the bare ground. In the front of. our door, I shall dig a ditch and over it I will stretch this net. The witch will not be able to perceive the change and when she walks over the nat it will break and she will fall into the ditch. Then we will quickly run out by another way and set the house on fire, which will topple over upon her and she will perish in the fire." Soon they were busy with preparations for destroying the witch, but not all too soon, for the witch decided to come back that same day and with her she brought her

sister. "So much the better," said Varus; "if she is destroyed also, then there will be no more witches, as Fishhook Nose once told ma

that she and her sister were the last." The two old women aparently noticed no change, and unawares they soon fell into the ditch as Varus had intended they should. Very quickly, Varsus and Yeta ran out of the house and set it on fire. The whole scheme worked out fine and in a few minutes, the witches were past ever doing harm to anyone. Then Varus and Yeta, rightly Genava started through the forest to their home and after many weary days they finally reached the palace. The king was overjoyed at the sight of his daughter again, and proclaimed a great feast to be held in her honor at the castle. And after that, no more troubles came to the king, and, indeed, his reign did prove the happiest one of all. , ,

Careful Charles Sees a Difference

Careful Charles is always adding to his vocabulary as he likes to use many words and to use each one in the place where it expresses just what he means to say. He has found that although the following words seem much alike, their meanings are really different. Abide means to make a continuous stay whether long or short. Sojourn Is to pass a certain pan

of one's time In a place with the idea of being there temporarily.

Dwell means to live in a certain

place as a residence.

measure the desired width, and cut through the entire thickness with sharn shears, using the edge of

the packet as a guide. Fold each strip twice, creasing It on the dotted lines shown in figure 1. The strips may be joined by slipping one fold inside the other and securing with a touch of paste. After a sufficient amount of strips have been folded, select two of orange and one of white and, fastening them to a table or some solid object, proceed to braid. Ar-1 range the strips so that the white one is in the middle. Be careful not to stretch the strands of paper, or to crush thorn as they are being braided, but fold each strand over.

carefully. It is a good idea to lay a flatiron or something heavy on the braid as you go along, so that it will flatten out like straw braid. The strands will not tangle while they are being braided if the ends

"But my mistress, how suddenly j

I am paying the penalty." "Yes, you are paying the penalty," he sighed, "but from now on

things are going to be different. I
