Would you not rather live in the country?

We have a park here which is kept in order by the town
authorities. This winter they have flooded it, and made a very
nice skating pond, which is free to all.

So after school hours we boys and girls have a bonny time.

Hoping to receive an answer, I remain,
Yours affectionately, HELEN Z.C.

P.S.--These "Sylvia's Caramels" you speak of in No. 3 are what
we call "Fudges."

They are _very_ nice. We make them often.

MAYWOOD, ILL., Jan. 25th, 1897.


TO THE EDITOR OF THE GREAT ROUND WORLD:

I am an enthusiastic reader of your most interesting little
paper, and would like you to send me a "Who? When? and What?"
chart.

I am up in the mountains for the winter, and there is fine
skating and tobogganing here, and I have also a fine big snow
house. We belong to the "Pontiac Club," and can therefore skate
whenever we want. Wishing your paper much success. I remain
