Dear Children: A few mornings ago there appeared In The Daily Constitution this little notice: "The children’s ward of the Lrady ho- - ph al has been presented wl,ll , i '" ,n .\.' < hair bv the children who read Ihi \\ i< k iv Constitution and writ” tor the jouven- "The" presentation was m ide' by Mis. William 1< ng (Aunt Susie), of "’e Week ly Constitution, who is greatly belt d the children." So von will see from this that our chair has come. A few d ,ys ago I received a message to come down to see it. t wi. n vmt all-could-see what a pleasure and com fort it Is to those little Siek ones. I did hope “Rosalind." the little girl in ou. room, would have been the first, to take a. roll In it. but she is not. able to sit up ye.. When I went down the other day I found the children who were well enough to be up all seated around their table In the dining room eating their dinner, the two little girls who have been so Hl with the fever were able to sit up and walk about, and It was a cozy little parte that sat around the neatly-spread table. After looking at them awhile. 1 Went in to sea those who were In bed. Little Rosalind Is much better, and she was having her din ner—a saucer of soup—and she was nb?» to i -in on her elbow and half raise herself ns she ate her soup. Site seemed very happy, and said the doctor Bald she could eit up in a for. days. She had h-r dolls and a lot of picture animals standing on the table beside her, and she seemed quite content. 1 told her to hurry up and get ■well enough to ride In our beautiful chair. The chair is of oak. with cane back and scat, two large wheels on each side anti *a email eno behind, something to rest the in and when you get tired of sitting up. It Is nude to stretch out, and you can lie do.- n. There is a long hall entirely Inclosed •with glass that connects the children s ■ward with the main hospital, and there the children play and get the fresh air. end up and down tho hall can ride in our pretty chair. t know you would bo glad to hear a about it, and I wish you could have heard the doctor and the head nurse think you and say what a nice present it was. You will have the satisfaction of know ing you have each one helped to do a good' deed and made many little hearts happy. Yours. SUSIE.” • Junior Letters • »«»••«>••« • • • * * * v=s!e L.

Lisbon, Ga.—Dear Junior: For several years past 1 have often turned to the Junior page first thing on receiving a. Constitution and read with eagerness tho letters that are penned by so niamy bright, girls and buys. I notice that a great many of you make the asser tion that reading good novels is not Injuri ous Io any one. Very true; you can go even further and say reading good novels is beneiictal. but. young man. young worn.m. are you capable <>f judging which o>nes are good? And when you know jou are ca p.iiile of judging do you always re.id good ones? No, not always. Occasionally you will pick up oue of those wild, soul-stirring tales of love or aju’venture and read it through witii scarcely a breathing spell and tile consequence i- ; your time is w is ed, the precious God-given time that you might have i-niployed in Strciigiiimiing your mind with a good, pure book *>r helping mamma. Then another evil from r< a.iiug tia.-ny nov. is. No matter l-.CW I'Ut’e .'ou may De or how readily your nur.d will cast otf evil, if you read evil in one of those in tensely exciting books there is aimec a. eeitamty that a litt.e bit of the venom will lind a place in your mind. I will cit- s.ili another evil that perhaps is the worst of all, the ruining of your memory. This seems a bold assertion, but it is true. A. k any one that has ever uirled with trashy novels and I guarantee, if they have tiny ."eii.se left, tliey will say it ruins the mem ory . You read om- right litter auoiin r until you become careless. You i . ver th nk abou; wiiat you are reading ano p. i hi'PH it is best so. lor if you would think of it much you would retain some of th* evil m vour mind. If you don't ti.ink "f it you get SO you ju.st read to jiass ..tf the t'm. and .soon get suit is jus: like a die 'in, and when you do read anything worth re membering, that, too, is just lik< a dream. Just .1 far off iiazy thing Fiat y m cannot gr t sp. Then take, tn- ddv ice of one wio has tried it. Ifoii’t read any more trashy novels than you e.in nell>. but. read al', '.lie good ones you cai.i without ini• r.< ring wn a your business ami some day you will be ■gi ld of it. lam only a little noy mys t. p. rlmps not capable of givmg advice to others, but I think waat 1 say is true for 1 have tried it.
