Spends Vacation on His Pony The Children's pare editor is wondering If any of the boys and girls bare made flower or vegetable gardens this summer. No mention of them has been made In any of the letters. Has anyone planted nasturtiums, geraniums or hollyhocks, lettuce, radlsbee or tomatoes? If so, write In bow you did it and what lock you are bating. Only one boy Is represented on the Children's page today and he baa cap tured the first prlie. So-far the girls have done most of the writing, but now the boys ought to be encouraged to write more letters.

WHk,- f X rime to read your paper-th Children's Department In The Sunday Beeand I would Ilk to writ a letter for It, as I have something to tell about my Robin birds, a papa and a mamma. Mr. and Mr;. Robin, who sing sweetly every day In a tree right by my home, and It was her they built their nest, and I seem to hear them say In their song: "Oh, how happy we are, and ws ask you to love us." one day I found three little birds that tried to fly, but had fallen to the ground, and I put them back In their nest. Two or three days after I set a pan of water under the tree and they came and drank, stretching their tittle heads up as though thanking me. Then they flew awny and ever sines I have been looking for them and calling for them to come back. Have unv "f o'i lilllo lils who wnse for Tha Busy . Bee seen anything of my blrdlesT.
