COUSIN HELEN'S LETTER

Dear Junior Friends! I am Just thinking what a jolly thing it ia to have the opportunity of being a close friend of yours. Friendships are bo fine. Let me tell you a part of a little story: ' There was once a little girl who was very sad and lonely. One day Bhe discovered the magic key that opened a new world of fun and happiness for her. She Wssed the secret on and often times made a fine "Pollyanna" out of the grumpiest of little cross girls. One day she met tho King as he was walking among the roses in his garden. Now time was when this King had been a very cheerful and jovial man, but now he was the very picture of gloom. To this sad King she whispered her secret and he soon became his same Jolly self again. Finally, (may I tell you all of this story some day? she revealed her secret, and it was "Everybody Is lonesome." It does seem that believing that secret true is a fine start towards making new friends. Some time ask your Mother or Father to read you about "Damon and Pythias," or go to the library and read it, and you will learn a gr.eat deal about friendship. While we are thinking on this subject, I Just wonder how you choose your friends? Perhaps you choose' the little boy or girl next door, because he or she is always "handy" and you can play and talk together by merely calling over the fence. If the little neighbor is not fair and generous your friendship will poon die out and you will go to the next block and seek a new friend. We all want to mako friends and we all want to be friends to lots of boys and girls. I think it would be fine if we would remember that if we are fair and generous our friends will not be going to the next block to seek new friends to lake our place. Some day when we grow up It will be a fine thing to have kept come of the friends we had when we were children. Why is it'that they say that when a person is in trouble he wants companionship? You have heard the expression, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." It is an old saying, and it is true. Let's suppose that some of you juniors Btarled out after school one of these beautiful autumn afternoons to gather nuts and you found that other boys had been before you. Some of the trees that you had always found ... i..., nnt i2nrrnini'rd vmi walked on and on. At last

inem on wrre uau-, mi'a ui 'un.u...1i rf it grew dark and you were turned around and did not know your way back home. You saw a light away off. Thinking it a farm house you made for it and found that the light had been left on a bridge, which was being repaired. Discouraged, you sat down and no machines nor wagons came along. You were hungry, and you were getting chilly and the road was Just so deserted. Suppose Just then a little ugly, freckled, pug-nosed, tec-legged, toelegged barefooted boy came marching toward you through the gloom, and said, " H'lo." Wouldn't you have answered "Hello" and wouldn't ho have looked mighty good, .especially if he knew the way back to Richmond? We are all liable to get lost at some time and need a friend, u we find some one that is lost, let us be the friend that shows him the way back to town. "Lay this into your breast: 'Old friends, like old swords, still are trusted best." Your friend, COUSIN HELEN.

TRIES TO MAKE MORE TIME WITH GLASS Little Mary Lyon was standing on a chair examining the hour glass with a look of wisdom and satisfaction. "I've found a way to make more time!" she exclaimed. Then, to prove it to her mother and sister, she tipped the glass to make the sand stop flowing. Later Mary learned that she could not make more time, so she did the next best thing. She devoted her life to helping girls make more of the time they have. In education for women she was a pioneer. Through her efforts Mt. Holyoke College was founded. Boys' and Girls' Newspaper. Priscilla's Family . Priscilla has a speckled hen, And seven little chicks That scratch around their wooden pen And all among the ricks. She has a cat with kittens three, A pot lamb and a goat, A dog that jumps and barks with glee When she puts on her coat To take him for a walk, two dove3 As tame as tame can be And all of these Priscilla loves To call her family. r Christian Science Monitor.

What Is Lovelier . Than a Pool?

What is lovelier than a pool, With a silver fountain playing, In its midst all crystal cool, Leaping lightly, softly spraying; Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle saying To the old stones gray and dark. What is lovelier than a pool In a summer park? All the children drawing near, See Its bubbles shining, drifting, Watch its rainbow colors clear Changing swiftly, bright and shifting; See its shadows softly sifting, To its fairy music hark, What is lovelier than a pool 1 In a still, green park! Nancy Byrd Turner, in The Christian Science Monitor. Ocean Color Changes The ocean is a great body of water. It is larger than any river. When a person gets out on the ocean they get kind of lonesome, because all they see is water. The color of the ocean is very beautiful; sometimes it is blue and sometimes It is green. When storni3 come up the waves dash over the ship and the people think that the ship will go down. WTien out on deck you can see fishes of all kinds jump out of the water. George Elick, grade 4A, Whitewater school. DWIGHT L. MOODY WAS IMPRESSED The first day of school came and the new teacher opened the school with prayer. She asked that she might have the strength to rule the school by love. This was something new and the boy3 all thought what a good time they could have. All went well for several weeks, then one boy broke the rules and was kept after school .Instead of whipping him, the, teacher sat down beside him and told him that sle had prayed to be able to rule the school by love and that L he loved her, he should try to be a good boy. This so impressed the boy that he too began to pray and became a Christian. When he grew 'up, Dwight L. Moody continued his Christian living and became one of the world's greatest evangelists.

FORTUNE TELLING Secrets of Palmistry

By GARNET (In these ten lessons, Mrs. Garnet Thatcher, who has Ftudled palmistry for 26 years, reveals the secrets of the age-old art. lielieve as much of It as you want that's up to you. At any rate, you'll have fun telling your friends' fortunes. An amateur fortune-teller Is always popular at parties'.) ,The tiny lines at the side of the hand just below the little finger ID tTAft TWAfCl. X t CDO Special Lines (A, B, and C, in Figs. 1 and 2) are the marriage lines. If a marriage line curves to or toward the heart-line, it means that the loved one will die first (A, Fig. 2). If the line is forked (B, Fig. 2), domestic trouble, usually separation is foretold. When the strongest line is well up toward the finger, tho marriage will be late in life (B, Fig. 3), but if the line or lines seem weak and curve upward (A, Fig. 3), the porson will not marry. Small upright lines on the marriage line (D, Fig. 1), tell the number of children, but, if the lines are fine, they indicate a love for other children, probably adopted children or nieces and nephews. Notice Peculiar Lines The line of intuition (C-C, Fig. 3), which is found on a few hands, reveals a tendency to dreams and premonitions of things to happen, and the curious thing about this line is that an Island on it Indicates a sleep-walker. Tho ring of Solomon m Vier. 3t indicates posses sion of great wisdom, but the ring or Saturn ijjj, ig. z is u uuiw tunate marking and means that fate hinders success. A star found on the mount of Jupiter, the pad of flesh under the first finger, forecasts famo and distinction in public afairs; on the mount of Saturn, which is beneath

the next finger, prominence In science, and on Mercury, beneath the smallest finger, fame In business. A star on Luna shows a brilliant imagination, and on Venus, a love affair with some one in the limelight. A star on the head-line Is not good, and if It is at the end of the line, it foreshadows Insanity. SuU CWCU CfVOMOWl & DOT and Marks The triangle stands for interest in science. The square is a protective mark, especially It found enclosing a break in the life-line. The circle, except on the mount of Apollo, is a lucky sign, as la also a single vertical bar. Cross Is Unlucky The cross is always an obstacle, meaning bad health, and the island, too, forecasts sickness and disappointments. The dot, if deep and red, indicates a physical defect. On the life-line it means an accident, and on tho head-line, a shock. The grille and cross-bars foretell suffering. The three little lines- on the wrist are called "the bracelets." If these, are well marked, say the old palmists, "they mean good health and a long and prosperous life!" The Book Corner Books are like Imprisoned souls until someone takes them down from the shelf and reads them.SAMUEL BUTLER (1835-1902). Have you been to the library and heard all that mysterious pounding in the children's room? If not, let me tell you that it bodes well for us, Juniors. It means lovely open shelves all around tho room, inviting us to pause and touch some of our old and dear bookfriends and peep Into the new ones. Some lovely new books have Just arrived. I shall toll you a wee bit about a few of them and perhaps you will want to read them. "The Laughing Prince," written by Parker Fillmore, is a collection of fourteen Jugo-Slav fairy tales and folk tales. It is full of magic, fun, and marvelous adventure. You will like it if you enjoy fairy stories as I do. "Torrance from Texas" by Joseph Ames, is the story of a Texas ranch boy in a New England school. A summeat camp and the mystery of a haunted house make this a good story for older boys. When I tell you we have a new book by Frau Johanna Spyri, the writer of our beloved " Heidi," I know it will send you scampering to get it first The story is of a Swiss family who live near an oid castle. So many startling things happen to the people living in this castle. "Mazli," that is the name of this interesting new book, has charming illustrations. "Interesting Neighbors," by Oliver Jenkins, you will enjoy, especially if you are in a third or fourth grade nature study class. Two "big tables full of fascinating new story books and readers have been sent out to the schools. Even if you are in a very advanced clasa do drop in the kindergarten room and look through the "Happy All Day Through" book, The pictures in it are so pretty, Learning to read will not be such a task if you are fortunate enough to start on the "Everyday Classics." They have songs, riddles, poems, and stories, in them of in'"1 kind we like.
