distance is equal on all sides.
The base may be made tapering
on each side between the shaft and
edge 'as shown by the dotted • lines

but it will regntire very careful
work to leave a square exactly 1%'
each way in the middle, and to
make the taper so accurately that
the surfaces and the lines of the
corners are perfectly straight if
they - are even slightly inecourate,
no amount of sandpapering or, of
care in'finishing can, ever make
them seem like '
anything n but•x the
work of a novice.
The candlesticks may be stain.ed,
shellacked ed and
k waxed to suit,or
may be left in the natural color if
preferred;' this is recommended in
case'of` mahogany, or of finely
grained or colored gum wood.

bright and clear and at 2 o'clock
the eager mariners arrived. To say
that they were curious would be
putting it mildly. The playroomiioor
had been covered with canvas and
in the middle stood a long tub or
trough filled with water.' Bobbing
up and down at one end were little
boats, one for each guest, and
Chris' mother explained that these
were Columbus' tiny crafts, and
the game would be to see which
captain could steer his boat tothe
other shore (the farther end of
the tank) in the shortest time.
The boys were all to stand at the
end of the tank to which the boats
were anchored and by blowing onto
the • sails, give the boats wind
enough to float them to the other
end. Such 'fun! The boys laughed
so they could not blow. Many of.
the little boats eapsized and time
had to be ealted until they could be
righted. Finally Jim Horn shouted
"Land!" and with a final puff sent
his boat into port Chris' Daddy
was the judge and he awarded the
prize to Jlm,,
Then the boys played questions
and answers. The questions all
had answers s c_ontaining the sound
C (sea), as for example;
Lasting -sea? s ? Permanency.
Personal sea? Privacy.
Crisis sea? Emergency"
Super good sea? Excellency.
There were many more which
Chris' Daddy had arranged, and a
prize was given to the boy guessing
the most correctly. !Then the boys
played together with some of Chris'
gifts until Mrs. Jones called them
into the dining -room. In the center
of the table was a large mirror to•
represent the water and on it were
little boats. The favors were tiny
spy glasses, compasses, globes with
the map of the world on them, and
flags. The ice cream was in the
shape of boats and the cakes were
ginger -bread cookies made to look
like Indians,
Everybody pronounced Christo-
pher's Columbus Party a great suc-
cess and Chris. Jones went to bed
that night a very happy boy.

leOCTOBER '
0 H this is the time of the year that I love—
Whets the pumpkin's like gold on the ground;
There's a flutter of wings as the birds fly above,
And the husks into corn shocks are bound.
There's a frost in the air when the night winds blow,
And the chestnut burrs fall from the tree;
The woodland's the place that I like to go
When from study hour we're free.
And at night, 'fore the fire's cheery blaze,.
We sit while the corn grains pop.
Oh, I wish these jolly October days
Would keep corning and never stop!
HOPE you wont mind spend-
/.
ing a little time in the school-
room today," said Mr. Rabbit
apologetically, as he reproved
his hat and sat, down beside Weenty
at her desk.
"What school -room?" asked
Weenty eagerly, "I love schools: I
dont go to real school yet but I've
been studying all myself! Do
please take me," and she j,emped
up and slammed;, her primer shut
in a great hurry. •
"Oh, . my nep'bews asked me to
come to their school in Cat -Tail
Meadow, as it is visitor's, day, ''arid
they are all going to speak pieces,"
answered; Mr. Rabbit, rising and
brushing his hat carefully 'with his
sleeve, before putting it on his
head. '7 'am glad you dont mind
geeing as I had half promised them
to bring you!"

O.goody• goo

cried littleWeenty. "Does myhair
look all right? 'This is a clean
dress, too. 1 don't know your
••
nephews. do I?"
"I guess ,you have met some of
them," said Mr. Rabbit; "I have a
great many. .
y Yes your ur hair looks
very nice and that pink dressis
fetching. Let us get started, Cr
we'will be late.
The twe'. friends went through
Weenty's 'garden' and ' on- the way
she stopped •to pick a tiny pink
rose for Mr. .Rabbit's' buttonhole.
It gave him a very 'festive *Ar.
"Thank you, that is beautiful,':"
he• said, sniffing it delicately. "We
have quite a way to go down the.
;lane here and across two or three
meadows. The school is under the
big oak the 'other side of Sunshine
Creek, you know where we hada
party one night."
"Oh, yes, indeed!" cried Weenty.
"I love to go so far away! What
a beautiful place for a school! I
guess your nephews like to go. to
School such 'a nice place, don't
they?"
"Well, said Mr. Rabbit, plod-
ding along. "Some of them do,
but I believe most of theta would •
rather play than study. Willie
Brown -Ear is especially, dull and
simply will not study."
"That's too bad," Wenty said,
sighing, "perhaps he isn't interested
in the things they teach•".
"I expect that's it," replied Mr.
Rabbit, "but now you'd better take
my hand as this meadow is so full
of long . grass you will get very
tired."
'"Very well," said Weenty, for the
tall grasses, 'way over her bead,,
made it hard to walk fast and the
first thing she knew they were both
flying easily over tie hedges, •
"`4Ve 'might as well fly over the
creek tee,"' said Mr. Rabbit "Se
hold on." .Attd before she knew it
Weenty saw the tops of, the willows
that bordered the creek, beneath
her Leet, and then they fluttered
lightly down, in the middle of a
large meadow.
This is Cat -tail meadow,". said
Mr. .Rabblt, and 'yonder' is the
scliQoi. The scholars are just corn-
ing in from• reoest5."
Under a large lone oak Weenty
saw a great number of bunnies,
brown and white. They were sit=
ting in orderly rows with little
toadstools for desks and chairs.
' Weenty' clasped her hands with
delight as Mr..Rabbit led her to
the tree.
' "This is • the teacher," said.,: he.-
"Miss
e."Miss Too-whoo I` want you to
meet my little friend, Weenty, who
is 'going' to stay,, and hear the ,chis
dregs exercises today.'
Miss Too-whoo was a very tall,
severe looking owl'' dressed neatly
in brown w With a White apron tied

gave Weeuty her' wing to take.

• "Now children,"
she went on,
turning to the . scholars, 'Miss

P HE pretty leaves of autumn fly like birds of every hue,
And dart and dance and whirl beneath October's sky of blue,
wID They match the red -bird's . flaming crest, the •thrush's russet coati,.
The orange of the oriole, the warbler's yellow throat.
OF: course they have no song like birds and that I think is why
The autumn winds sing softly as the bright leaves flutter by.
And why should anybody smile because a child believes.
The Winds that have sweet voices sing the songs of 'voiceless lea " ?
