There are other new features, which you will be able to see for
yourselves. We mean, with your help, to make THE PANSY for 1887 a great
deal better than ever before. How many new Blossoms can you gather for
our bed?
Another thing; will you remember that you have now a department of your
own to look after? “Around the Family Lamp” has been thrown open for
your use. We do hope you will be industrious and unselfish, and send on
your thoughts as often as you have any. Keep your eyes open, and when
you see other people playing games which you think are pleasant, don’t
be contented with simply copying their good times, but pass the word
down the line for the rest of us.
That reminds me of the address: I wonder if there is any way in which
I can get you to remember it? Winter Park, Orange Co., Florida. This,
until further notice. Now please do not send your letters to Boston,
nor to Cincinnati, nor to Chautauqua, nor anywhere else but to Winter
Park. Understand? Of course when you want to subscribe for THE PANSY,
or order books, or transact any business which would naturally belong
to the Publishers, you send to Boston, as usual. But for the “P. S.
Department,” or “Around the Family Lamp,” or when you want a badge,
or want to ask me any question, remember the Winter Park address.
For anything pertaining to the new department, “All Along the Line,”
address the Editor, R. M. Alden, at Winter Park, also. Who will be the
first to give us some games for our Christmas number?

Lovingly,
PANSY.

_Gracie_ from Canada. Indeed, your letter was not too long. I enjoyed
every word. You must have been a very industrious Pansy to get so
many premiums. I knew a boy who used to trouble his mother very much
by being late to breakfast. One morning when he came down to the
dining-room half an hour after time, he found the table dishes all
cleared away, and there was no breakfast for that boy until next
morning. I don’t think he was late again for nearly two weeks. I am
glad you are going to break yourself of that careless habit without any
such help.
_Mary Edith_ from Ohio. It is very easy to be cross, and brave to try
to overcome the habit. I hope your badge will help you.
_Ray Spencer_ from Turkey in Asia. We are very glad to welcome you. One
who “tries to do things right the first time,” is a great comfort to
his friends, and will be likely to grow into a good and wise man. It is
a pleasure to have a letter from your far-away home. The Pansies would
all be glad to hear something about the people of Turkey. Can’t you
write us a little letter for the magazine?
