_Lucy May Quint._ If all the Pansies were as busy as my little friend in Whitefield how very busy I should be adding names to THE PANSY roll. Many thanks, my dear. To make your meetings good will require a busy Lucy, thinking, reading, planning, conversing with parents and others, praying Jesus for guidance and comfort, never despairing, no matter what happens to spoil your meetings. Keep gathering for your meetings, a crumb in this book or paper; another from a talk with some one; and so on. Thus you will always have something on hand. You had a “nice,” “splendid” time in the church on Children’s Day, amid flowers and singing-birds, evergreens, and, best of all, a good sermon. It is right to join the church. Now be true, dear, to your covenant, for Jesus’ sake. Don’t let any one who knows you doubt as to whether you are a Christian. _Christiana Lacy._ No, the Editor did not forget Sevenfold Trouble, but “Uncle Sam” somehow forgot to get it from the writer to the printer. The mail does not always behave as it should. Yes; I have read some of Miss Alcott’s works. You and your friend Jennie seem to have a good standing in school. I am glad to hear good things of every Pansy. _Alice_ of Minn. “At the farm.” No wonder you like it ever so much; in the orchard, where you have a swing; down at the brook, where you try to catch a speckled trout; among the sheep and cows; riding on hay or wheat from field to barn; then sweet bread and sparkling butter! As for the dishwashing, how you three girls do chatter while you are at it, and boast as to whose cups and saucers are wiped cleanest. If you will send a copy of the Queer Story, corrected, I can tell if it be right. _Ruth Kimball._ Hunting eggs; boating among pond lilies; at Cedar Bend Farm; with such a dear companion as Alice must be, what a happy girl you are. Well, child, make other hearts sunny, too, won’t you? _Gertrude Burgess._ None but perfect ones on the Queer Story appears in my report. Many come within one of it; that is a failure all the same as one hundred. See? “A miss is as good as a mile.” So, look your work over and over and over before you send it. Thus you will certainly do perfect work some day. Meanwhile the effort will be a—school to you. You are a blessed girl to be fighting so bravely against that fault. Have you learned how to lean your weakness upon Jesus’ might? _Lydia Sewell._ The pansy on the card is larger than many, but no larger than some I’ve seen. By careful culture they grow to great size. Your corrected Queer Story is well done, yet with a few errors. It would be rather unusual if every particular had been right. Still, if you are a girl of good metal, you will certainly tug away at this spelling business till you will know the right as readily as you now know your mamma’s face from five thousand others. Keep on and show yourself a true Pansy soldier.
