Oh Louise!" came an anxious voice from the direction of the house just as she was getting comfortably settled "Come and take care of your little brother while I go to town to do some shopping Hurry now dear!” “All right” came the answer "It is time for his nap now and you may rock him to sleep After that you may go out and play but mind whatever you do don’t monkey with the sewing machine or you might get hurt" After rocking her baby brother to sleep Louise tiptoed out of the room and went to play It was hot and she soon went Indoors again As she entered the living room she caught sight of the sewing machine “I’ll just sew a tiny bit on my doll dress” she thought “It is all cut out and I am just dying to try it on the sewing machine I can have the machine shut when mama comes home and she won’t know the differ- “What shall w give mother fof Mother’s day?” asked Elms “If we only knew!” sighed Emil "She is fond of flowers but she told us not to pick them for her because they wither so easily" "Let’s see I know! A memory basket!" "A memory basket? What’s that?1 Elma bent over and whispered int Emily’s ear “Oh goody! Let’s go now anrge it ready” and both little girls ran outg The next day was Mother’s da Elma and Emily ran Into theip mother’s room "Oh mother will you go on a hike today?” asked Elma “Please!” added Emily "Why yes” answered Mrs Evans ton “I can see by your faces that something interesting is going to hap- dark-haire- brown-eye- d pen” ence” Louise hastily brought the doll dress from her tiny doll trunk and then she opened the machine She knew she was doing wrong but she thought it wouldn’t matter just this once She threaded the machine and started to sew very carefully and soon one side of the dress was done Pretty soon it was all neatly done but the bottom hem She now felt - as capable of operating the machine as her mother “I can sew just as well as my mama can” she thought "and just as quickly too” With this thought she worked her feet faster and faster and the wheel went whirring swiftly around She began to think what a neat seamstress she was and she did not watch what she was doing “Ouch! Mama! Mama! I'm killed! I'm killed!" The sewing machine needle had pierced through her index finger! The blood ran thick and fast down into the works of the machine Louise was as pale as death and almost fainted “I will die before mama comes home! Oh why did I disobey my mother!” In great agony she tried to raise the needle but she couldn't budge it She sat there for ages or so it seemed to her but it was only a few minutes Finally she heard the gate click and how her heart rejoiced! Her mother came into the room and stood in amazement when she saw the pitiful little Louise When she found out what the trouble was she began slowly and carefully to turn the wheel of the machine and with great difficulty she set the poor little swollen finger free She lifted her poor little daughter gently onto the bed and gave her first aid treatment As Louise lay there bandaged and petted she thought she deserved a scolding but her mother did not say a word of reproof After Louise had rested awhile her mother said “How do you feel now darling?" “I feel better now mama Tm sorry I didn't mind you but I’ve learned a lesson of obedience that I will never forget" FEIIN IVY GARDNER Age 11 Salem (Fern writes: This story Is a true story It was told to me by our neighbor when she called at our house one day I have Just changed the name to Louise It happened to her when she was a little girL) From the stubble you may guess the grain— Homer An ounce of discretion 1 worth a pound of wit Many sketches showing the tender affection that exists between a mother and child were submitted by our young artists The beautiful feature of these drawings was that every one was different from the others giving us a varied assortment to choose from Three were so delightful that each of the artiste was awarded 100 points and their drawings used here and there in this section These were Fames Kenner age 12 Salt Lake Anna May Dunn age 13 Rupert Idaho and Adell Reese age 14 Salt Lake Jimmie Arakl age 6 also won 100 points for the best drawing submitted by a child under 9 Avonell Sorenson age 12 won second place and Emily Arakl age 12 won third place Honorable mention was given the work of Henri d’Aussant Salt Lake -- I Try This Little Mother i Day Gift Can You Name These You can make a pretty little basket to hold flowers for mother by using a paper cup and some crepe paper The cup is the main part of the basket From pretty colcir ored crepe paper cut a cle Lay the top of your cup in the center of the circle and draw around it Now fold the entire circle of paper into 16ths Cut oft the point of the resulting triangle Open up the circle Cut on each fold from the center to the little circle you draw Fold these strips back Notch the outer edge of the circle to resemble petals Now slip the cup through the hole in the center of the crepe paper circle and glue the strips to the side of the cup This gives you a flower-likcorona around the rim of the cup Cover the base of the cup with green crepe paper pasted neatly in place and make a twisted green crepe paper handle MARGARET M’CARTEN Salt Lake What flower is: 1 Part of the human face? 2 An injured vital organ? 3 An animal and a hand covering? 4 A saccharine boy? 5 Part of milady’s wardrobe? 6 A single man’s trial? 7 A dainty color? 8 A girl’s name and a precious metal? 9 A plea for remembrance? 10 A wise man?

SARAH KAY Age 13 Mon — “Yes But don't try to guess Just get ready” They were soon on their way up the side of the hilL They went down into a small hollow surrounded by trees where there was a large flat rock to sit on though both of the little girls preferred the soft velvety gras The hollow was almost filled with Solomon deal that looked like dancing girls with white dresses billowing out around them Mrs Evanston thought the flowers looked like Chinese carvings in ivory The three sat enjoying the fragrance of the blossoms "This is the first flower In you memory basket” said Emily After while they went on to a grova of trees There where the leave were thickest the dogtooth violet grew Elma Emily and their mother sat down in the shade to watch the sunlight flicker through the trees and make the blossoms more yellow than before “This” said Mrs Evanston as she the delicious fragrance enjoyed "must be the second blossom in my memory basket” Up another slope hardy pinks grew abundantly No trees grew there to shade the three from the hot sun However Emily and Elma had planned the hike for their mother' comfort and they soon led her to small cave in the cliff nearby that gave them a very good view of tha little pink flowers After resting a while and exploring the cave they went on a little way till they came to a field of buttercups that gleamed brightly in the warm A clump of trees grew sunshine nearby under which they rested "The buttercup is the fourth flowc in your memory basket mother" said Elma They began their return journey then but they stopped once more to rest near the grove of trees At tha edge of the grove delicate pink fragile spring beauties grew “The last flower is the mast beautiful I think” said Mrs Evanston “though all the blossoms are lovely A memory basket Is the nicest gift I've ever had and one I’ll never forget and never grow tired of” Age 11 JANET HIGGS Bingham Canyon I J ?
