This year, however, she found something bad made quite a change. When she reached the school building the first day of school she was greeted with, '"Hello, Mary, bow are you?" and "Aren't you glad school has started?" remarks coming from girls who before would hardly notice her. To one who had longed so much for companionship you can Imagine how happy this made her feel. She had been to school only a few days when she heard the Kirls talk- Ing about charts; did they remember to mark them, and how many X's and O's did they have. Wondering what they meant she asked one of the girls what they were talking about. They were surprised to think shs had never heard of the Knighthood of Youth, but, of course, she had never had a chance to know anything about It That night when she went home she told her mother what a fine club It was and that she would like to join.

Park City (50 points. A Chrlatsaaa a lavender pillow, an exquisite, but inexpensive, Christmas gift: " Fine Reading for Older Girls MY DOG. I have a dog that guards our cows. One day mother said to him. "You nerd the cows until I come back." She went to the corn, and when she came back he was still herding the cows. They didn't dare go where he didn't want them to go. Mother took him in and fed him for his good work. He plays ball with us. One For our older girls we have chosen to review this week Helen Ferris s "This Happened to Me," a volume of real stories about real girls, published by E. P. Dutton company, New York. It is a book for every girl who wants other people to like her. Every girl in the book wanted that very thing they almost lost it, too, but their story, with the vivid explanation of how they overcame their faults, points the way for. other girls to gain this happiness of being liked without the heart-brea- k these girls suffered. For four years Miss Ferris wrote to and talked with girls Dot abnormal or subnormal girls, but Just everyday, ordinary human beings like the rest of us. They told Miss Ferris their troubles, their experiences, and she kept these stories to pass on to other girls who might have the same troubles and same experiences. Miss Ferris suggests that the book Is especially interesting to girls of 14 and thereabouts, but we think that older girls, too. will find a great deal of help In its pages. Don't these problems sound familiar toy our I wanted to be popular. I was shy. I talked too much. : day he was playing ball and I threw the ball too far.

My pets are two kittens, they are gray with black stripes while their faces and paws are white. They are exactly like their motherf "Mischief." I call them "Rascal", and "Simba." When they were five weeks old "Mischief" died, so we fed them Warm milk In spoons. This was lots of fun. ' They got to be such babies that they wouldn't drink their milk unless they were fed with a spoon, but we soon broke them of this habit They had two sisters. "Spunk," a tortoise-shel- l, and "Fluff," an Angora, but we gave them away.

They do not, however, for the deer is an aristocratic animal and prefers the dainty mountain clover and luscious mushrooms that grow in the forest The deer go early in the morning and in the evening to the meadows to eat clover. But dur- ing the day they stay in the forest and nibble mushrooms. These help to put the fat on their bones so that they can withstand the winter's cold. When autumn comes, the deer go from the tops of the mountains down the slopes, where they can eat the shoots of the cliff rose, which' is a ' scraggly bush much like a juniper. In the late fall they gorge themselves with acorns. KNIGHT JANET HIGGS. Bingham Canyon.

We have had a lot of pete, and they have to have funaturally die, so nerals. We have buried six goldfish, three or four birds and a dog. When one of our- - gold fish would die, we would dig a hole by the side of toe house, put the goldfish in a matchbox, put cotton around, him, and amid singing we would put the match box gently Into the earth. When we found a dead canary (It was a yellow breasted sparrow) we dug a hole near our pear tree, put some sticks into It and across the hole, and put ths canary on the sticks. We made it look as if it were sitting on a twig. We found a tiriy fish in the gutter once, but it did not live, so we buried it, too. Altogether there are eight little graves. I used to put grass over the graves when we mowed the lawn. KNIGHT MARION TWI8S, Age 12, Price.
