Your answer to my last did me a world of good. I have it in my album, as one of my most precious treasures. I’m determined to grow up a useful Christian woman—thanks to the “Whisper Motto” and the influence of PANSY and my mother. Mamma has no ambition for her children but that they become genuinely good. When we are determined to be so, she wishes us to join some church. There are six, and as merry and happy as the “Little Peppers” of whom dear Margaret Sidney wrote so sweetly. BLANCHE CRAWFORD. ====== DEAR PANSY: I enclose five cents. I earned it for the organ fund by learning the multiplication table. MINNIE LOCKWOOD. ====== DEAR PANSY: We have almost finished a bed-quilt and are making holders to sell; in that way to raise money to buy cotton and lining. Every week a word is given out. We learn a Bible verse with that word, to repeat at the next meeting. GERTIE CURRIER. ====== DEAR PANSY: Please print my letter, as it is the first I have written to any paper. I got a good many Christmas gifts, among them a canary. I named her Soldie. I want to join the P. S. My fault is getting angry. I mean to try real hard and break that horrid fault. I would like a badge. I think you are real lovely. I would like to see you. I am your constant reader and loving little friend. No one helped me about my story. ELIZA W. HOLLAND. ELIZA’S STORY. (_Ella’s Lesson._) Ella Smith was six years old. Her mother told her to take care of the baby while she went up street. Ella went into her mother’s room for the baby. The bureau drawer being open, she thought she would take a peep. Naughty Ella! in it lay three large oranges. How good they looked! She said to herself, “I will just touch them.” They felt so mellow she took two large bites. When her mother came, she punished Ella. Never did she peep into her mother’s drawer again. DEAR PANSY: I am trying to overcome my fault, which is putting off, and not starting the moment I am spoken to. I like the whisper motto. I have your picture and think very much of it. I have a pansy bed, and when I look at it, it makes me think of the Pansy Society. ULA COOK. ====== DEAR PANSY: I think the games published in THE PANSY are lovely. We children, this spring, in our yard, planted some seeds, and in three days they began to show themselves. We planted the seeds in June and now they have buds on them. RITA E. BOARDMAN. ====== DEAR PANSY: I have five dolls, Mabel, Phœbe, Sallie, Mollie, and Nannie. I love Phœbe the best. I have had her almost two years. I have two cats, Mrs. Kitty Clyde and her son Tom. We have a dog, too. His name is Nero.
