Of birds reminds you of your own

the memory
Of your loved haunts, your bud

That star that you remember, swims
In gloom.
There Is no world beyond your
little room.
Keep firm your hand on hope, my
blessed friend,
For there await beyond your
painted door
The joys that will seem sweeter
with the end
Of Illness, when you journey
home once more.
The night of suffering seems end
less now.
But so does winter for the apple

The summer moon of health will
rise at last,
And you’ll return, with all the
dark days past
You will come home I Each hour
that you are there
Brings you a little nearer to that

Love will be waiting for you on the

There will be smiles of joy to

The Past will melt away; the years

THORNTON W. BURGESS
REDDY’S INVITATION
THE mere mention of carrots al
ways makes Jerry Muskrat’s
mouth water. Yes, sir. It does Just
that. You see. It Is this way: Car
rots to Jerry are very much like
some rare fruit to you—something
that you can get only once In
awhile. Jerry never feels thor
oughly at home on land, you know.
He wants to be close to the water.
So It Is only once In a great while
that he travels any great distance
on land.
Now, of course, It Isn’t often
that one finds carrots near Uie
Laughing Brook or the Smiling
PooL When they are found there
“I Won’t Keep You Waiting Long,"
Replied Reddy as He Turned and
Trotted Off.
It usually Is wisest to try to forget
all about them because — can you
guess why? Because there Is very
apt to be a trap close at hand. As
Jerry gained wisdom and learned
about traps In the days before
Farmer Brown's Boy had stopped
all trapping along the Laughing
Brook and the Smiling Pool, be bad
learned how to get the bait, some
times without being caught, apd so
be had learned the taste of carrots.
Several times he had been bold
enough to go away over to Farmer
Brown’s garden down on the Green
Meadows to look for carrots, hot al
ways he had been disappointed.
Other good things he had found,
but no carrots.
Thus It was that when Reddy Fox
told him that he, Reddy, had dis
covered some of the finest carrots
that ever grew, Jerry was Inter
ested. Of course. How could he
help but be? "Did you say carrots?*’
asked Jerry, quite as If he wasn’t
sure that bis ears hadn’t played him
a trick.
'*1 certainly did," replied Red
dy Fox. "I certainly said carrota
They are the finest carrots ever I
had laid my two eyes on, and In
my travels I have seen a great many
carrota I don’t eat carrots myself,
but It Is a fact that Just looking at
those carrota, Jerry, and thinking
how much one who does eat them
would enjoy them made me hungry.
Then I thought of you." Jerry didn’t
see the sly wink In one of Reddy's
eyes as he said thla “Yea" con
tinued Reddy, “I thought of you and
came straight over here to tell you
about them. I remembered what
you said about laying up stores for
winter and It came to me that per
haps you would like to put some of
these carrots away with the other
good thlnga I certainly would If I
liked carrota"
Jerry Muskrat’s mouth watered
so that Reddy Fox saw It water
and turned away to hide a grin.
“Did you say that those carrots
are very far away from here?"
asked Jerry wistfully.
“I didn’t say,” replied Reddy. "Do
you know where Farmer Brown’s
garden is?”
Jerry nodded. “Yes,” said he. “At
least I know where his corn field la"
“Well," replied Reddy promptly,
"those carrots are there. They are
right at the end of the corn field,
the end nearest the Smiling Pool.
There are rows and rows of them.

I tell you what, Jerry, I haven’t any
thing special to do this evening and
I will be delighted to show you the
way there and to help you bring
back some of those carrots. Noth
ing could give me greater pleasure.
Now don’t say a word. I’ll be over
here shortly after the Black Shad
ows appear and we’ll go over there
together. I Just won’t take no for
an answer. It will be the Joy of my
life to help you get those carrots.”
“Thank you. It Is ever so kind
of you,” replied Jerry, trying to be
polite and not knowing what else to
say. “I’ll be right here watching for
you as soon as the Black Shadows
come tonight.”
“I won’t keep you waiting long,”
replied Reddy as be turned and
trotted off.

ENDURING SENTIMENT
I HAVE been given permission to
print this especially touching let
ter from a man:
"Dear Mrs. Post—I lost my bo
loved wife a year ago. The tragedy
of this separation of two people
who for nearly thirty years were
so happy to be together, Is Just
something that only those who are
struggling to endure this Bame ach
ing loneliness can know. Lately I
have gotten a great deal of com
fort In an Idea that may, or may
not, be my own; at any rate It was
new so far as my ever having heard
about it was concerned.
"My wife and I were married
with the double ring ceremony. And
when she died her wedding band
was never taken from her Anger. A
few months ago It occurred to me
to take her engagement ring with
my own wedding band to the jew
eler and askr‘talm whether he could
build up the top of my ring so that
he could sink the diamond of her
ring Into It, without changing the
under half of my ring or obliterat
ing the engraving of our names.
He said he could by melting a lit
tle more gold at the top of my band,
which he did, and the post-setting
looks like a conventional gypsy
hoop and is not a clumsy or obvious
one.
“A friend of mine told me that I
was selfish to use the stone, espe
cially as I had the gold brought
over the edge to make it look small
er. My friend says it should be
given to our son for him to give
to his future wife, but he has no
present intention of marrying and
I am getting a real consolation in
having something that she always
wore and held dear, constantly
close to me. It is not too late
to pass the ring on to my son even
now, or later, and he ca'n have all
the other jewels that his mother
had any time he wants them.
“Am I Just a silly sentimentalist,
or do you think that this same
plan would give other, lonely wid
owers the real comfort that it gives
met It was not just a diamond to
her, and I could not bear to leave
it in hiding when I had looked at it
for all those years in its rightful
place on her hand. Perhaps if you
haven’t heard of the plan, you
might want to print it with your an
swers for the benefit of some other
sentimental reader—if there might
be one."
In answer I want to say that of
course I can understand how you
feel and I think it Is a beautiful-,
idea that is likely to bring a little
warmth of comfort not only to one,
but to many. In no possible sense
are you foolish. As for sentiment—
what is beauty of life without it?

WRITING MATERIALS
WRITING Paper for Men: Good
taste exacts that stationery
for all men be very conservative.
Color of writing paper: White,
cream, the deeper shades of blue, or
any of the grayish mixtures known
as granite (Plain gray Is better
for an older man than for a young
one.) Smartest style of paper:
Either bond or Irish linen or gran
ite. Any plain paper with cut edges,
proper. Size: Large rather than
small. Size: Double sheet 5V4 by
8V4 Inches In best taste. Single
sheets slightly larger. Dnllned en
velopes with plainest flap. Stamp
ing; Address or block Initials, or
full name and address. (Mr. Is
never Included under any circum
stance*) A man’s business address
is put on the face ot the envelope
rather than on the flap. Personal
paper has the address (If any)
•cross the flap. Color of stamping
(or printing): black or blue or gray
or brick red. Ink: Blue or black.
Writing Paper for Women: White,
cream, all blues, grays and mauves.
Very pale powder pink bond paper
Is just on the edge of possibility
but to be avoided by the unknow
ing. I wish I might approve of green
but I really can’t Size: Very small
or medium large, single or double
sheets. Very smart Is the double
sheet of paper that fits without fur
ther folding Into a big envelope.
Texture of paper unlimited, but cut
edges are more convenient than
rough. Any colored border fash
ionable—even green or red—if It be
very narrow, but gilt or silver edges
tabu. Stamping: Monogram, Ini
tials or address In color to match
the border. A girl’s name—either
“Mary Smith” In full or “Mary,"
embossed In color, Is popular for a
young girl, when writing to her own
friends. On paper for social use the
address without the name Is proper
on the flap of the envelope as well
as on the paper—or If the monogram
or name Is stamped on paper, the
address is often put across the flap
of the envelope. Envelope lined with
plain tissue to match the color of .
the stamping (and border) or no
lining. Avoid violently patterned
envelope linings except for Christ
mas card* Ink: Black, neutral,
tint, blue, violet (Green and red
are tabu).
For Impersonal or Business Let
ters: Printed name In full prefixed
by “Mrs.” or “Miss” Is proper. And
this same complete name with ad
dross on (he envelope flap.
