NELLIE F. TREAT. ====== DEAR PANSY: When I read answers to letters, it seems to hit me. I will try to be more patient with brother and sister. I am a church member, and I very much wish my cousin were. It is hard sometimes to talk about Christ. I talk about other things readily. Why? BLANCHE E. TREAT. ====== DEAR PANSY: As to how we spend our evenings: we play games and speak pieces, and we have lots of books and papers. We like THE PANSY. Papa got THE PANSY for us and we did not know it till we got the mail. Mamma gave us “Young People at Home,” which you wrote, and which we like much. _Maud_ and _Mabel Davis_, my sisters, are writing; so I thought I would. Mamma does not like to have me tease my little brother Romie. I will try not to do so. ALICE. ====== DEAR PANSY: Badges received in time to organize. They are lovely. They will help us to remember our faults. We meet at each other’s homes weekly and read, sew, sing, pray, and play THE PANSY games. “Monteagle” is splendid. Hope the trip will help Dilly get well, and she will help naughty Hart get better. What a good woman Mrs. Hammond is to have such a bad boy. I guess he’ll come out right. MABEL S. KAGEY. ====== DEAR PANSY: I send a small sum for the organ. I sent sixty cents to D. Lothrop Company, and received “A Girl’s Room.” I would not part with it for twice that. Every girl should have it. The book gives me an idea what to do with things. I am much interested in “Around the Family Lamp.” EMMA FISK. ====== DEAR PANSY: Our mission band is “The Cheerful Givers.” Mrs. Prof. Jewett is the teacher. She is nice. We like her—at least I do, and we all think the others ought to. We have mite boxes to put our pennies into, to buy maps of the world. I am not failing to mind my badge. MABEL HICKS. ====== DEAR PANSY: I am eight and cannot write well. I tried last week. The words were hard to spell. I got tired. Tears came, so did mamma, and said, “Wait, I will help you.” I have taken your paper since I was a bit of a girl, and love it, and can hardly wait till it comes. I have many, many, many naughty traits. Send me a badge. It may help me. Mamma and my good auntie read THE PANSY to me, and they enjoy it as much as I. Papa died before I was three years old. I want to be good “For Jesus’ sake.” ANNIE T. DANA. ====== DEAR PANSY:
