THE OMAHA STNDAT BEE: SEPTEMBER 14, 1913. T )- 1 3f . ) . j CHOOL days are hnra again, and It 1b nice to read tha letters from Busy Bees telling of the different ways In which they havo spent vacations. I hope that new Bub? Bees will con tlnue to send In stories and letters. There Is nothing re quired to become a member of the Busy Bees other than to write a story or a letter to the Busy Bee page. It Is al ways a pleasure to receive these, letters and stories from tho new Busy Bees, and yot when the older members send In their stories they are equally appreciated. I would like to caution tho writers In just one way, and that 1b not to write too long a story. Tho short stories of 250 words are those which will recolvo tho prices. It Is much better to learn while you are young to express one's solf clearly In a few words. There are mnny stories on the page today which tell of the pleasant times spent during the vacation days. Ono little girl tells of helping mother with the housework. I would like to say this to the little girls: That many of our mothers havo much to do for us, and If we learn to help them In tho tasks about the house- It will bo much castor for them now, and for tho little girls later. There Is nothing which helps to make a little girl more womanly than assuming some of tho small responsibilities for our mothers. Tho samo may bo said of the boys and tho work their fathers have to do. A boy may make tho homo life of his fathor much happier if he will keep the Interests of hlB father at heart nil of tho time.

The pal ace was made of fine glass, the floors were made of silver and the walls and ceilings of gold. Beautiful perfumed fountains were In the garden, and the garden itself was so magnificent that in words I cannot describe it I never did tee flowers so bright and lovely. In stead of fruit the trees bore Jewels. I was Just about to sit down to a rich banquet when my mother called me and I awoke lying In my own bed. (Second Prize.) The Plcnio.

"Oh," said Fred, "let us ask grandma to tell us a story about school because we can't go to sobool today becauso It's too cold." Fred and Ted ran over to their dear old grandmother and begged her for a story about school. "Well," said grandma, "I will tell you about a teacher whom all the oblldren disliked. This teacher never waved her hair like all the other teachers, and she always wore the same drees. The chil dren of the other room liked their teacher because She always waved their hair and wore pretty dresses. The other children had fruit showers on their teacher. "One day at noon before the children went homo they all decided to have a lemon shower on their teacher, every one was going to bring a lemon, but one little girl, she was going to bring a box of cookies.

It was autumn and the fairies gen erally had a dance. They decorated themselves with fall fruits. Elizabeth, their queen, was dressed In Alice blue silk covered with fine golden lace. She had a chain of crabapples around her neck and parried a bouquet of grapes. She wore a wreath of red haws. Her helpers, Rose and Chrysanthemum, both dressed In pink silk, trimmed with the flowers after which she was named, Lily, the queen's favorite, was dressed in white satin, trimmed with wax lilies, and carried a bouquet of grapes. Prof. Sunflower played tho gourd fiddle and was assisted by the three cosmos, who played a flute (made of a hollow rood), a mandolin made of a. summer squash and a boss violin made of a giant gourd. Cecil and Cyril, the queen's guards, guarded the queen watchfully. They all danced around a pyramid of fruit Two goblins stole In and tried to get some fruit, but the queen's guards drove them out.

"Oh, Betty, look at that bathing suit Isn't It awful?" exclaimed Gladys Som ers one morning while In bathing with her chum, Betty Brandon. "Well, It certainly Is," answered Betty. "Look how faded It Is." "I am glad both of ours look nice," said Gladys as she glanced at her pretty rod bathing suit and at Betty's dark blue one. "I wonder If she can swim," replied Betty, "because she Is sitting up on the beach and playing with those little chil dren." "Well." said Gladys, "let's go In where It Is deeper," and away ran the two bathers. Now I will explain this rather com plicated conversation. Mr. Homers, Qlady's father, had rented a delightful cottage on beautiful Deer lake and had given Gladys permission to Invite ono of her chums to spend the summer with her, so Gladys chose her best chum, Betty Brandon, and for many days the two girls had had delightful times ex ploring the woods nearby. But best of all was the lake. As neither of the girls knew how to swim they were not al lowed to go In very deep, but even In the shallow water a fins time could be had. On this particular afternoon It was very warm, so that when Gladys hap pened to glance around she saw that she and Betty were the only ones In tho water except the children and the girl of whom we first spoke on the beach. "Oh, Gladys," cried Betty, "my cap is coming on ana I'm going to tne Data- house to fix It. Ml be out In a second." "All right, but hurry," said Gladys. While Gladys was waiting she spied a pair of water wings hanging on the Uook. What a Joke It would bo for Betty to come out and see her swimming. Gladys could think of It no more. She hurriedly seized the wings and care, fully adjusting them It was true that she did swim a few strokes and she was so elated with herself that why not go out deeper again. She struck out and again she swam a few strokes when to her dismay she found her wings slipping off; now they were too far to reach. For a moment It did look as though she would drown, but In a second she saw a hand reaching for her while the othet Ktasped the wings and with a few dort strokes the swimmer had again adjusted tho wings and hod given Gladys the com. mand to swim. Gladys then looked around and whom did she see but the girl In tho homely bathing suit. Betty then came running up and together the two girls told the tale. Both Betty and Gladys were loud In their praise and Imagine their surprise when Lillian In. stated that It was nothing much. "And girls, don't reward me, for really I don't want anything," said she. Hut when Betty and Gladys went home and told Mr. and Mrs. Somers, not only did Lillian receive a check for not a few figures, but at her door was left a long white box containing a bathing suit and cap, Ulllan did not Know Who It was from. Can you guessT Puss and Her Kittens. Iiy Madeline Kenyon. Aged U Years, 320 Cuming Ht, Omaha, Neb. Blue side. Puss, with her three kittens, had lived In the coal cellar; but one day she thought she would carry them to the attic. The servant thought that was not tho proper place for them, so she carried tliem back to the cellar'. Puss was certain that she wanted them In tho attic, so she carried them there again and again, five, six, seven; yes, a doien times for each tlmo tho servant took them back to the cellar. Poor puss was nearly tired out and could carry them no longer. Suddenly she went away, Where do you think sho went? She was gone for a long time. When sho returned she had a strange cat with her that wo had never seen before. She seemed to tell him all about her reat troubles and he listened to her story. Then the strange cat took the little kittens, ono by one, and carried them to tho attic. After thts he went away, and wo have never seen him since. The servant then left the kittens In tha attic, for she saw how anxious puss was to have them there. Dear Busy Bees, wus not tho stranre cat kind to puss? This learns children to bo evor ready to help one another. At Work. By Madeline Kenyon, Aged IS Years, S3S Cuming Street Blue Side. A little play doos not harm anyone, but does much good. After play we should be glad to work. I knew a boy who liked a good game very muoh. He oould run, swim, Jump and play ball and was al ways merry out of eohool. But he knew that tlmo was not all for play, that our minutes, hours and days aro very pre cious. At the end of his play he would go homo. After he had washed his face and hands and brushed his hair he would help his mother or read his book or writs upon his slate. He used, to say: "One thing at a time and that done well Is a very good rule as many can tell." When he was dons with work he would play, but he did not try to work and play at the same time.
