=NOW READY=:
OCT. 1. "=Little Brown Maiden.=" KATE GREENAWAY.
The sweetest and quaintest of Miss Greenaway's creations. The original
watercolor was purchased in her London studio by Mr. Lothrop, and is
perhaps the only original painting by Kate Greenaway in America.
OCT. 15. "=On Nantucket Shore.=" F. CHILDE HASSAM.
A wood engraving from this sea-beach picture was the frontispiece to
the September Wide Awake. In a boy's room it would be a delightful
reminder of vacation days.
NOV. 1. "=In Grandmother's Garden.=" WM. T. SMEDLEY.
This is a picture of the time when mother was a little girl, and walked
with grandmother in the dear old lady's garden.
NOV. 15. "=The Dream Pedler.=" EDMUND H. GARRETT.
Every nursery should have this picture of the captivating Dream
Peddler, standing on the crescent moon and with his bell crying his
dreams for sale.
DEC. 1. "=Morning.=" F. H. LUNGREN.
DEC. 15. "=Evening.=" F. H. LUNGREN.
These are companion pictures--the beautiful ideal figures set, the one
in the clear azure of a breezy morning, the other in the moonlight
mystery of evening.

THE PANSY SOCIETY
P. S.
THE motto of the Society is "Pansies for Thoughts." What kind of
thoughts? Oh, sweet, good, pure, unselfish, hopeful thoughts, such as
Pansies, beautiful Pansies ought to inspire.
Now "who may join?"
Every boy and girl who takes the PANSY, and is willing to promise to
try to overcome his or her faults, to encourage every good impulse, to
try to conquer some hard lesson at school, to do anything that shows a
disposition to help the cause of right in the world. Any one who will
say from the heart: "I promise to try each day to do some kind act, or
to say some kind word that shall help somebody;" honest effort will be
accepted as much as if success were gained.
This promise must be dated, and will be copied into the "P. S."
roll-book.
The most important of all to remember is our whisper motto: "I will do
it for Jesus' sake."
"FOR JESUS' SAKE."
Whatever He will own, the "P. S." will be proud and glad to copy on its
roll-book.
Then you must write a letter to Pansy (Mrs. G. R. Alden, Cincinnati,
O.), saying that you thus pledge yourself, and you will become a member
of the Pansy Society, and receive a badge.
Now, about the badges.
