An hour later Aunt Em, going upstairs, was summoned by her voice._ “See if that is all night,” said Phyllis, tossing her aunt a piece of paper. “Dear, d‘ear, dearest mother,” Aunt Em read. “I’ve wanted to write so that I thought I’d burst, 'but I just can’t say things on paper. We’re all well, only terribly lonesome without you. Aunt Em told Greta to make “A Shirk!” Phyllis was too much astounded to be angry. “If you knew how I work over letter writing, Aunt Em! If I could show you the pen handles I’ve chewed in my agony!

Don’t you know that it is spiritual murder to destroy a fellow being’s self- esteem?

I am perfectly aware that I am cutting myself off from a very interesting quarter hour, but hearing you read the letter isn’t worth the prim. I get too madly envious of Lucile. I’d give anything to be a good letter Writer, but letter writing is as much a gift as singing is, and I don’t have it, and that’s all there is about it!" “You’re not usually a Shirk, Phyl- lis," Aunt Em replied calmly. Phyllis’s reply was a despairing gesture. Aunt Em’s voice became more gentle. “I was thinking of your mother, child; and of What the letters from home mean to her in the hos- pital." “And,” Aunt Em wen? on, “of the joy you can give her if you really set your mind upon doing it.

Any and cake recipe will do for your birthday cake, which should be made in layers, with a coin, ring and thimble, wrapped in“ waxed paper, placed between the layers. The cake is covered with frosting, then decorat- ed with one candle for each year, the candles to be lighted just before the guests enter the (liming-room. Or the cake can be kept out of sight until it is to be served, when the candles be- ing lighted, it can be carried in and placed before the person whose birth- day is being celebrated. When the time comes to serve the cake, this per- son should blow out the candles, re- move them and place them on a plate provided for the purpose, then cut the cake into slices ready for serving.

But Phyuis was content. ‘ In many parts of this continent it is found that automobile registrations and forest firest are increasing about proportionately. A great many people are touring about the country, seeking out places away from the railways and main highways and, unfortunately, through careleseness with fire, some of them misuse and destroy the forests. There is no desire .on the part of forest authorities) to bar citizens from the forests, but there is no reason why forest fires should follow inthe wake of the automobile All that is needed is that every tourist who camps for the night or stops at noon to boil his kettle in the woods should personally see to it than his fire is dead out be- fore he leaves it. Those who go into the woods for either business or plea- sure see the value of the forests and should catch the enthusiasm for the conservation and proper utilization of this great Canadian resource.
