THE, TRACK
I , went walking across the hills
Where the wind swept by, and the
. snow
Lay thick on lonely window -sills;
Where silent streams forgot to flow.
The wind swept on; the snow lay
. white;
And all my world was lost to sight.
Only the snow -tipped branches stood
Beside me all that afternoon. •
I was alone; the frozen wood
Fieoame fantastic as the moon. ._.,
But, when I turned, I found my track
!Vas waiting there to lewd ma back.
-Robert Wistrand.
AGAINST HOARDING.
We keep words spun of tender warmth
All neatly wrapped and put away
Like silken quilts of eider -down,
Reserved for special company.
Grudging and self-oonscious, we
Mumble words of gratitude,
Rather proud of being frank
In all we say, and brusque, and rude.
Words that speak affection, praise, -
Why do we always feel we must
'Use them only frugally,
And lay them by to gather dust?
-Mary Ferguson Legler
MUSSOLINI'S DREAM
Old Mussy at his crystal gazed,
Then swept it to the floor,
And strode out to the balcony
To meet his puppets' roar.
A mighty Empire we must have
Yea! Greater than of yore;
And as the crowd applauded
ie stuck out his chin for more.
o back into his den he struts
o wallow in the stew;
and gave his Generals orders
or a million men or two.

Tis then they met the British,

Our Queen had a very strong Ka-
man sympathy with those who were
in trouble of any kind. Upon receipt
of the woad of the assassination of
President Lincoln in April 1865, she
sent an autographed letter of con-
dolence to Mrs. Lincoln. This is just
one 0f the things which made her
notably distinguished. She realized
that riches or rank were of no avail
in the last extremity. Although al-
ways dignified she went very often

grave. •

MAKING PICTURE -STORIES
This shot is from our "baking biscuits" sequence -the best way in the
world to tell a story In pictures.
PICTURE.TAICING is a lot more
fun, for the subjects, if the plc.
tures have a story to tell. At our
house, we do it this way. First, I
pick two "story" ideas -one for Ann
to be the model, another dor Jack.
Then I jot down notes for six or
eight pictures that will tell each
story -picking the high spots, of
course.
To decide which story shall be
pictured first, we toss a coin, If
Ann wins, it's her story and she is
the model, while Jack and 1 take
the pictures. Actually, I suppose,
I do most of it -placing the lights,
setting the camera, and so on -but
I try to let Jack feel that he's real-
ly the "director." We tell Ann what
to do, for each shot -and usually
the whole picture series is made in
a short time. The following eve-
ning, it's Jack's turn as model, and
Ann helps me shoot.
Sometimes we invite the next-
door neighbor's little girl over, as
model, so that both. Jack and Ann
pan help supervise. She enjoys It -
if my "story" idea gives her same -
thing interesting to do. -We made a
sequence last week, showing bow-
she
owshe learned to bake biscuits. We
pictured her treasuring out the
flour, kneading the dough, rolling it
out, cutting the biscuits, sliding
them into the oven -and, finally,
taking a big bite out of the first
one. It's a good story.
That outline, incidentally, 15 typi-
cal of our snapshot sequences, Just
a step-by-step account of things the
Children do. Jack, building an air-
plane model or packing his knap-
sack for a hike; Ann, learning how
to roller-skate, or how to make a
rag doll. And they have already
made one story sequence of me -
loading my pipe, lighting it, sitting
down with the evening paper, puf-
dng away as I read, and finally doz-
ing off. Pretty good pictures, too,
for youngsters.
You should try this idea of snap-
shot sequences, if you haven't al.
ready. There's fun in it -and the
pictures are more Interesting be-
