The Unselfish Fairy . By JOANNA M. PALMER

JO. (All nights Serena decided to go. t better part of the city, where the . homes . wore large and beautiful, and the , . streets wide and clean, . "Just to rest myself a little," she said, "for. Burely people who live In ttosfl jnlaces do not need so much. """They must i bapny.ajljhe time." She found herself in a U62WuI rose-garden far up the wide avenue. Overhead were trees almost as - splendid as the ones in her own ' bel6ved forest. : She sat on a rose : leaf, regaling herself with a bit of i- honey from' the heart of a creamy . rose, i Then after a drink of dew from a lily bell,' she felt refreshed and ready for further adventures. . "Of course.Jmust not stay here long, for people who live In this part of the city do not need much," - she said again, i . . - Just then she heard a sound of sobbing, and she sprang quickly from her perch to see in the rose arbor Just beyond, two little children . weeping, . as though their '. hearts would break. "What is the matter?' 'she asked kindly, transforming herself into an earth child at once. "Oh, we need someone to to Then the voice died away in a sob. . "To smile at us as Mama used to do." finished the other mite. "Tell me . all about it," coaxed i Serena, setting her basket down and seating herself beside the children. It was a very sad little story of how Mama had died and left them with an. aunt to care for them. They had a lovely house and everything one would think they needed, but Thanksgiving Day ' How I will miss the turkey on 1 Thanksgiving Day!

Ileserved) Ji-CU Auntie wag so different from their mother. "She never smiles at us, but looks so cross," wailed the boy. "I am going up that way," said Serena; "will you come to the house in a few minutes? I want to see you again." They promised they would, and Serena sped up the graveled path to the side veranda, where sat a stately, severe looking woman, reading from a ponderous volume "What can I do for you. child?" she asked, catching sight of Serena. "May I have a drink of water, please?" asked the little visitor politely. , "Why yes I suppose so. I will ring for the butler," she said grudgingly. But as she rose to reach the bell, Serena put her hand in the basket and drew out something she could not tell what. It Immediately became a beautiful smile on the face of the woman. Just then the children " came running up the path and broke Into eager cries as they approached the veranda. "Oh, you look just like our dear Mama," they said. "And why should I not look like her? She was my own sister," their aunt said, stooping to kiss them. Their little faces were radiant, as they clung to this new, dear kind of aunt. "Wait, darlings, until I get the little girl a drink. Why where has she gone? Isn't that strange? I was Just going to get her some cookies and milk. Never mind, you shall have some yourselves!" Serena invisible, but happy, saw the ljttle group go Joyously into the house. "All the folks need something," she soliloquized, "but they need different kinds of things." (To be continued.)

MYRTLE KING, 7B grade, Greenville, O. Barbara WritesAbout Her Guild Barbara Bernhardt, one of our Juniors, is spending a year in New York city. She is attending school there. In a letter to her grandmother, Mrs. Ada Bernhardt, she tells of the interesting things, she is doing. Mrs. Bernhardt has loaned us the letter, and we will print a part of it: " I go to a nice school. We have guilds, a weaver's guild, and a potter's guild. I belong to the weaver's guild. I made one tapestry; it has a picture of a barn and a swing and a little girl, feeding a chicken, and a tree with flowers around It. "I have started another. It is going to be the bottom of the ocean. We are going to have a fair, and we are going to ell things we make. We are making costumes to wear when we sell the things. We are making a guild hall for each guild." a nice, tender neck is not so

Model Aeroplane Building

(This Is one of eight lessons In which boys-will - be, told - how . to make a complete model aeroplane, which will fly under Its own power. Warren UeLancey. writer of the ar ticles was formerly president of the hoys who build and fly their own models and who hold nine of the ten world's records for model aeroplane flying.

HOW TO" MAKE THE WINGS

The wings of an aeroplane support the entire weight of the machine while it Is in the air. As can be easily seen, they must be carefully made, as is true also of the wings on a model. For our model a bamboo framework covered with tissue paper will make the best wing, as it is very light and strong. The framework is shown in Fig. 1 and is made of bamboo split from a fishpole, Just as was done in making the tail planes. The bamboo in this case should be split and scraped until it is a little larger than the big end of a toothpek and should Jbe twice as wide as it is thick. Use Bamboo for Wing Seven pieces of bamboo are needed for the main wing. Two of these are fourteen inches long, and the other five are each two inches long. Do not split the bamboo through a knot or Joint. If a piece

cannot be found fourteen inches between the Joints, Join two seven-

inch pieces together by overlapping a quarter of an inch, gluing, and J binding With silk thread. The five short pieces two Indies long serve a3 ribs and are spaced evenly, as shown in Fig. 1. One is bound to each end, one in the middle, and one halfway between the middle WINCS TOp ZD FRONT and end on either side. Make all bindings with silk thread and glue. Main Wing is "V" Shape In Fig. 2 a front view of the wing is shown. It will be noticed that it has a slight "V" shape and that the right hand side has more angle than tho left. It is made in this position by steaming over a kettle and bending, slowly to the proper shape. This "V" shape is called "dihedral' 'on a large aeroplane, and keeps the machine from turning over sideways while in the air. Foolish Turkey Pride With wings and tail spread wide, A foolish turkey stood alone, His heart was filled with pride. He stretched his neck, and shook his head; "Gobble, gobble, gobble!" he said, "I Bee red." "I'm the boss of this barnyard, Do you hear? I'll chase you hard. And make you run for fear, I'd scratch your eye out if you came near." Still with wings and tail spread wide, "Gobble, gobble, gobble! "he fiercely cried. "How dare you say. That on Thanksgiving Day, I'm the turkey that has to die? Gobble, gobble, gobble! Oh, my! Oh, my!" His foolish pride was his downfall, Because he could not hear at all. He gobbled so long and loud about. When the farmer began to shout, "There he is, that's the one; He is so big, and tender, and young." Just one moment too long, did he stand, And then the .farmer's firm hand Grabbed hold of his legs, so neat. That's why, for Thanksgiving Day treat, They'll have a foolish turkey to eat. By A. T. Of Interest to Juniors Russell Dilks motored with his father to Philadelphia Thursday. He is going to spend Thanksgiving Day there. Loretta Kittle's mother visited the 5A class at -Starr school last Wednesday morning. Northa Mann has left our room to go to Starr school. We all hope she will like Starr school.
