Stories of Our
Little Folks
. (Prize.)
Margaret and the Ceeie.
Dear Happy: This isony second
letter to you. I am going to write
a short story.
Margaret, who was a little girl of
6 years, was watching her geese, 32
in number. Four of them would al
ways run away, but Margaret al
ways found them. This little girl i
had a step mother who was very
cruel to her. One day these four
geese wandered far away and Mar
garet could not find them. She
looked all over. Her step mother
told her if she didn't find them she
would thrash her good. Now Mar
garet was once told if you wander
far far into the woods, you would
find the Land of Childless. Margaret
tried this. She came to a little house. .
She went inside where there sat
an old woman. "Go home and open
a trunk which you will find in your
step mother's bedroom .and in the
top of the lid in this trunk is tied
a key. Go bring it to me and I will
tell you more. Margaret did as she
was told.
When she got there it was just as
the old woman had told her. She
was back to the old woman's house
with the key in no time. The old
woman said, "Come on.
Margaret followed her. She came
to a big door. The old woman un-
InrWert it with the treir and told Mar
garet to go down the steps. There
she would find the Land of Childless.
Margaret did this and after she
walked a ways she caught sight of
some beautiful houses, but children
there were none to be seen. When
the people saw Margaret they ran
to meet her, bought silks and satins,
and had dresses made for her. Mar
garet lived here the rest of her life,
happy and contented.

A Thanksgiving Dinner.
'Dear Happy: I enjoy reading
your page very well. I have never
, written to your page before. I will
' send you a Thanksgiving story this
time. ....
Mary and Albert were talking very
low together."
"Mother says we should share our
Thanksgiving with Alice and John
Smith, who never even had one
Thanksgiving dinner in their lives.
Isn't it hard to believe it?" said
Mary, y
"Yes, it is very hard to believe,
but for me, I am not going to part
with my dinner tomorrow," said
Albert. - ' " ,
"Why Albert Jones! exclaimed
his sister, "you are so wicked I am
ashamed of youl Do you mean such
a thing?" ,
"Yes, I do, and I shall stick to the
words I said, wicked or no wicked.
Miss Righteous, you think you're al
ways on the right track," replied
Albert. . .,
"Well, for my part, said Mary,
"I will run and tell mother that 1
will eat bread and butter tomorrow."
"I don't care," called Albert. "Our
father works to buy us food and here
you want to 'give it away."
It made Mary feel bad because
such sharp words had passed be
tween her brother and herself. ,
But, alas! In the evening just be
fore Thanksgiving Albert went to a
church party and came home sick, so
his dinner was sent to the Smith
boy and Mary and her father and
mother all spared some of their food
to send to them all.
"After this," said Albert. 'Til
never be stingy again, for I have
been taught a lesson by my sister."

and I will gladly answer. Lucile

Play You Are Santa Claws to Someone.
Another whole week lies smiling before u hi which to think of way
to make a happier Christmas for somebody else. Of course, it does aeem
sometimes that Christmas was planned to brin a good time to ourselves,
for it is easy, isn't it, to spend much time wondering and wondering about
one's own gifts? At least, that is true among the boys and girls who have
many to love them and think of their Christmas and who are asking every
day what they would like best of all to receive.
You all know right in your very own room at school are children who
are very poor. No matter how much their fathers and mothers love them,
they cannot spare any money this year to buy gifts. And these children
think and think, just as you are doing, of all the things they would like to
have. Sometimes it makes one feel almost ashamed to nave o many,
manv gifts when you stop and think of the children who have none.
Then what can the Go-Hawks do about it? you ask.
Pick out some poor child from among your schoolmates, or choose an
older man or woman .in your neighborhood who is lonely at Christmas.
Perhaps there is somebody ill in your neighborhood, some one who has
been hut indoors all winter. If so, that would be a fine chance for you.
After you have chosen some one, then play you are Santa Claus.
Fix a little Christmas box this week for .some one. If you do, then
you will find on Christmas day you will he twice as happy yourself. If
there are several Go-Hawks in your neighborhood or in your room at
school, talk it quietly over together tomorrow, so that you will not choose
the same ones. Line your little basket or box with
pretty colored paper. You will be
many you will find waiting for
Christmas. After Christmas please
me what you found to do. Here
love to each of you trom
Adrien and Annabelle, who have
no father, went to the Happy Forest
the day before Christmas looking
for holly to brighten their poor little
home. Jclf overheard them talking
and he called on Mrs. Santa Claus.
She promises to send her Grey Mes
senger and the Spirit of Christmas
to find out how best to help. Jelf
places the Happy Forest under a
love spell just as the children are
returning sadly, because they could
rot find any holly. This is the third
section of the Fairy Grotto's Christ
mas play called
"THE HOLLY WREATH." ,
(Continued from Last Sunday).

(Turning to Jelf.)

with her left arm, as if trying to
hide the things she sees in her look

hand in a comforting way).
Please do not grieve.
With both of us to help, I do believe
That we.wlll find a way quite soon (Joy
fully) and then
The twins are coming back this way
again.
((Shaking his finger mysteriously
as he says this with twinkling eyes)
(A little period of silence follows
and then Jelf takes the hands of
Give and shakes them playfully as
he says impressively) : ,
When Love and Olvei Join hands
(Shaking both her hands again).
THAT VERY DAY
A lovely miracle la on the "way.
(He steps to center staee fore
ground, raises the little horn, hang
ing at his side, and blows seven
long blasts. As the last note dies
away. Swift, the Happy Forest Mes
senger, darts into the room to curtsy
prettily and then drop on one knee
before Jelf).

(Taking the hand of Swift and
drawing her tenderly to her feet). "
You have such willing little feet, my
dear!
The moment that I need you, you are

Christmas Spirit).
This la the Christmas Spirit. Guide her

Where ahe may meet our Workers.
(Swift takes hand of Give).
Every one
Is gathered there to see what can be
done.
(Swift, with a final curtsy, leads
Chrismas Spirit from stage to R.
Left alone, Jelf walks thoughtfully
about the Forest, stopping now and
then to pat the small rabbits, who
have come out from their hiding
places and now play tag in the fore
ground). .

How wonderful It Is Love's magie pow

in his hand as he speaks).
H smiles in starry skips. In every flower.
In tender eyes (A pause) In every dark

How It can lift the shadow from a face
And leave a joy instead.
(Pauses and turns the little wand
round and round in his hands
thoughtfully). :
There seems to be
No task too great for Love's bright wis

(Smiling to himself as a happy
thought comes to his mind).
While they are all at council In the Dell.

(Capers about delightedly as h
thinks about his plan).
Then, all I aeed, wheo that to really

la Just to watch things happen, one by

(Standing in the center tore
ground, Jelf very solemnly and slow
ly extends the little magic wand, in
turn to the four points of the com
pass, ac he savs clearly):

(As he speaks a yellow spotlight
suddenly flashes on the moving wand
and follows it as it continues mov
ing. Beautiful music swells softly
through the Forest. The light slow
ly fades and then becomes warm and
rosy. After a time a bird call sounds
through the wood and is soon an
swered by another).

A Love bird Two of them In here teday!
Hurrah! A miracle la on tha way!

are. heard, when tie hides hastily in
the shrubbery. The voices aound
more loudly and soon Adrien and
Annabelle enter. They walk slowly
and wearily, with heads hanging
Seeing them coming, the four young
rabbits hop forward fearlessly and
stand waiting with their paws held

Soft rustling they make, Annabelle

(Caressing the first rabbit she
reaches).
Oh. sea these darling rabbits sitting hare
And not afraid at all! My, this IS

.(She pats the next one enthusi

the call of a bird).
Was that a bird?
(Lookinsr at Adrien wonderingly).
Why. they should all ha gone!
What lovely glowlnr lights there are upon
The snow! It feels warm! With that
rosy look
It's like a forest In a fairy book!
This Is a pretty sight we must not miss

motioning Adrien to a place at her
side).
I never saw tha wood look Just Ilka this
Before In all my life! Why, just look
there!
I saw a fir tree move! I do declare
It la! Tt'a coming here! There, look at

(Pointing an excited finger to rear
stage).
And yet, I'm not afraid no, not a bit!
(As the children stare, wide-eyed
with surprise, Fir Tree stalks grave
ly from rear and stations himself
with dignified ceremony and bows.
Then he looks carefully all about
him).

(Thoughtfully).
Well, so I'm here the very first of all!
But I was quite near when I got the cell
And when they asked my help, of course
I flew!

and then looks about him again).
And then I ahould be first It seems to

and recites in a loud, rather boasting
tone):

My fruit la queer but very dear
And no one knows what It will be.
When all tha leavea are turned and

My atlff green needles stay right on.
And through the anow they gleam and

For flying flakea to ollng upon.
And think of It! Just over night
I bloom Into a lively sight
With candle-beam and tinsel-gleam
And awaying pop-corn chains of white.
And. on my branches everywhere,
Are strange fruits swinging high In air:
Toys, books and drums nd sugar-plums
And pretty dolla with curly hair1.

It had been reported to the
Teenie Weenies that Santa Claus
would not stop at the Logan house

not receive a single prese-t.
Here's an Idea for all the little
friends of tha Tennle Weenies to
carry out. You will notice the Teenie

Tha floor should be a light tan; tha

yellow, and the smokestack red. Tho
car can be red with dark wheels.
Tha background ahould ba light ye!-,

hands ahould bo pink, exoept for Oogo
and tha Chinaman. The Chinaman
ahould be light tan and Ooso's face
and handa should be brown. The
Teenla Weenies' clothes can be colored
to suit your fancy. The tool chest
ought to ba dark brown.
Jerry the squirrel brought the
news and the Teenie Weenies . fell
very badly over it
"Tommy isn't such a bad boy,"
said the General. "He's full of fun
and plays a great many pranks, but
almost every boy does that and 1
think it's too bad if the little fellow
doesn't get a Christmas present."
"Well, I was up in the maple tree
back of the Logan house yesterday
and 1 heard his mother tell him that
she had asked Santa not to stop at
their ' house because Tommy had
been so naughty," said Jerry, switch
ing his big shaggy tail in the direc
tion of the Logan house.

A good Go-Hawk, when plan

forget the best part of Christmas
,is giving to others. Perhaps he
can t do much, but one little
thing he can do is to buy or make
a pretty card and send it to
someone and there are so many
you could make happy with a
simple little message of love and
good cheer. So remember, a good
Go-Hawk does not forget the
best part of Christmas is giving.

cried Paddy Tinn. "I'll bet there
were many things Tommy would
have liked to have had for Christmas
and I'm mighty sorry, that's what
I am."
"He wanted a train of cars,", said
Jerry. "I heard him say that, for
when his mother said that she had
:ked Santa not to stop at their
house, Tommy cried and said that
if Santa would only leave him an
engine and a couple of cars he'd be
just as good as he knew how."
"Oh, dear!" cried the Lady of
Fashion, "can't some of you men
make an engine and some cars and
give them to Tommy?"
"Not possible," said the General.
"It would take months to make an
engine and a couple of cars." '
"I know where you could get a
ttain of cars," cried Benny Mouse,
";ho had been listening to the talk.
"I used to see a little engine and two
cars over in an old barn where my

"Oh, yes, General," cried the

As the place where the folks lived
who. owned the train was some dis
tance from the shoe house it was de
cided to wait until the next day, so
arrangements were made to meet
in the morning.
Before the Teenie Weenies had

at the shoe house and in a short time
not bear the twins' sorrow and tella them
to run for their lives taking their dolls

several of the.little people set off to
tee the train. '
It was a long hard tramp, for there
was snow on the ground and the tiny
folks were forced to wear their snow
shoes, which made walking quite
difficult. ,
When they arrived at th barn,
Benny toon led them to the phec
where the train stood and after the
little men had cleaned the dtibt
away they found an iron engine and
two iron cars. The engine needed
some repairs and the whole train
was much in need of paint.
"We can fix this train up and make
it look just like a new one," said the
Turk, who was quite a mechanic
The next day the little men loaded
a tool chest and two thimbles full
of paint onto a sled, which Jerry,
the squirrel, very kindly pulled over
to the barn for them, where they set
to work putting the train'in shape.
After the repairs had been made
the enne and cars were painted and
the Teenie Weenies were quite satis
fied with the work, for the train
looked just like a new one right out
of the store.
It took a great deal of pushing,
pulling, and shouting to get the train
into Tommy's house, but with the
help of Jerry the squirrel, and Benny
the mouse .they finally finished the
task.
On Christmas morning Tommy
found the train and you can well
believe he was a very happy little
ioy. t
snouted i'lggy, wrathtully shaking
nis little list.
"Yes, I did," replied Sitting Bull,

Runt, come on I I'm ready! And
if you want to fight, Rain-in-the-Face,
come on, but you sha'n't burn
those dolls; and if either of you
say one mean thing to the sauaws
you've got to bring your rabbit and
dog and we'll just tie them to that
stake and burn them up. and see how
it makes you feel. Now if you want
to fight come on!"
Piggy and Rain-in-the-Face looked
doubtful about accepting the propo
sition. The chief glanced scorn-
tully at them and said, 1 ve had
'nough of this bus'ness and I don't
care what you think of me. If you
kids don't want me for your chief
you can-get another. You can stay
here if you want to, .but I'm going
into the house."
The tear-stained faces of the
squaws were too strongly outlined
before their chief for him to enjoy
playing any more with the members
of his Iribe that afternoon. He felt
on strained relations, but he was not
unhappy as he turned and walked off
without another word to the
astounded Go-Hawks.
"Well, by gum! Wouldn't that
get you? I call him an old pot of
mush," angrily declared Piggy.
"Mushy! Mushy!" he called after the
chief.
"Going into play with his own
dolly or sit on his mama's knee, I
s'pose," sneered Rain-in-the-FiCe.
"He's afraid to stay and fight us
kids," said Piggy, who began to feel
very brave as the chief disappeared
from view.
"We'll smash his face if he comes
"bout us, won't we?" asked Rain-in-the-Face.
t
"Yer bet your life! I'm going to
lick him 'cause he got chicken
hearted and spoiled ev'rything. Come
on, kids, let's gel out of this and go
down to the river."
For want of something better the
suggestion was adopted, and the
scene of the proposed execution was
soon deserted by the blood-thirsty
tribe of Go-Hawks.

Tomorrow I expect to spcud a very
busy day, for I am going to begin
to make my Christmas candies. 1
never like to leave them until just be
fore Christmas, for there are so many
things to do at the last. I alwayi
make a box for daddy and for Unclt
Jack and Uncle Billy, for they say
my candy is the best present I car
give them. Here is what I make:
French Cream Fondant.
White of one egg, one-half table
spoonful cold water, three-fourths
teaspoonful vanilla and two cups con
fectioner's sugar. (Be sure you gel
confectioner's and not pulverized.)
Put egg white, water and vanilli
in a bowl and beat until well mixed
If your sugar is lumpy, roll it smooth
with a rolling pin, then sift it. Add
one spoonful at a .time, stirring well.
Keep adding sugar until the mixture
is quite stiff, tben take out on a board
and knead with the hands until
smooth and creamy. From this
cream you can make several different
kinds of candies,
Chocolate Creams.
Take some fondant and mould into
cone-shaped pieces with your fingers.
Place on platter in a cool place and
let harden for several hours. Melt
some Baker's chocolate in a small
pan, set in another containing boiling
water. Then take your creams one
at a time on a fork and drop into
melted chocolate, roll until well cov
ered, then place on waxed paper on
a platter and set away to harden.
Cocoanut Creams.
Mix some fondant with grated co
coanut and form into small balls. Roll
again in cocoanut to form a covering
for the ball. If it does not stick well
dip your ball into a very little of the
white of an egg and then roll.

Where Does the Wool Go
When We Get Holes in
Our Stockings?
This question really and rightly
assumes the answer to another ques
tion: Does the wool go to nowhere?
The answer to that question is 'No,'
for we know that it is impossible for
anything to go nowhere.
Now we can find -out what hap
pens to the wool by asking how this
hole in the stockings si made. Holes
do not come in stockings as long as
they lie) in drawers unused. It is
when and where a stocking is
rubbed that the holes come. After a
lot of walking that wears a hole in
a stocking we could find traces 'of
wool on the skin and inside the
boot, if we were to look with a

Why a Saw Has a Little
Notch on Top.
On most big saws there is a little
notch near the end and at the top.
This is put there as an aid to the car
penter in his work. Very often when
a thick plank or beam is being
sawed, the sawdust or large frag
ments of wood get wedged into the
cut, and make sawing difficult. The
carpenter then takes out the saw,
turns" it round the other way, and
with the notch clears the obstruction.
