When the bank is full, the pennies are rolled, counted, and sent to some organization like CARE. Most families say grace before meals, but how many offer thanks after a meal? Wouldn't it be wonderful if families all over America said thanks with piggy banks? Mrs. Frank Fetter, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. my daughter became ill and was hospitalized in a small town in Iowa for three weeks. I stayed with her, but shortly before leaving I had to cash a check to get some expense money. I went to the local bank, wondering what to do about identification in a strange town. The teller glanced at me, then at the check and, without hesitation, pushed the currency through the window. Surprised, I asked, "Don't you need any identification?" He said, "No, I saw you in church last Sunday." Mrs. A. C. Paul, Davis, Calif. five-year-o- PIGGY BANK. Our family has a plan for adding our bit to help the We put a little piggy bank on the table, and after every meal each adult drops a penny in it. No one can quibble about that amount for a good meal, but at the end of a year the pennies add up. THANKS FROM CHILD CHECKS UP ON NATURE. Down, here in Florida the early moon is sometimes clearly visible before ld the sun goes down. On one such afternoon recently our girl saw it and exclaimed, "Oh, Mommie! There's the moon. It's up in the daytime." Then solemnly folding her hands in prayer, she raised her eyes and murmured, "Dear God, You're making a mistake. Amen." Mrs. George Mulhall, Jacksonville, Fla.

I mean magic of the kind a child understands and sacrifices only on the altar of permanent teeth and long pants. When I was small, I lay in the long grass and was not lonely. I was surrounded in contentment by the unseen e, a world much too profound for delights of adults to understand. I am sorry that I lost my magic. A little more of it today would compensate, I think, for cynicism and brutality. A touch of magic would turn little hatreds into great loves and bombs into bluebells. If a man's enemies could vanish like dew in the morning and leave only the simple shells of themselves for him to smile on, wouldn't it be wonderful?

But my mind was larger by far. for now I am circumscribed by the shrunken sanity of maturity and I will never truly see again the horse with wings or the faery dust on the tulips in the twilight. I am not a case of arrested development. I do not long to return to the womb. I love my world and I live in it comfortably and happily, grateful for both the known and the unknown. But I maintain I have paid a universal price for growing up. Neither an adult nor a child has an easy time of living, but blessed childhood carries with it delight to be sur- rendered at 7.
