As he came close to the figure, he gasped, “Why, that's my coat!” 1 le picked up the figure, laughing so loudly that Ruth came closer. What she saw made her laugh, too. She saw a wire form that her mother had borrowed from a neighbor so that she could fit a dress that she was making. Mrs. Jones had put her husband’s coat and hat over this form so that if anybody came into the house, the wire form would not be seen so quickly.

THE CHRONICLE 19 MY HOBBIES M y main hobby is nature study, and in nature study I major in trees. I have made several collections of different kinds of wood, leaves, and buds. I am now working on a seed collection, and along with this I have a small nursery for raising seedlings from the seeds I have gathered. In making my wood collections I have had to walk quite a distance for specimens. In one afternoon I may walk ten miles just looking for wood or leaves. W bile in Maine last summer, I walked miles through the woods, watching for new specimens. I am never afraid of getting lost, as 1 have a good sense of direction, and by being observant it is easy to find my way back. I have as many as one hundred and forty-five different tree specimens. This collection represents wood from Maine and Florida and as far west as California. rhe best way to exhibit a wood collection is to get your pieces of wood two inches in diameter and about seven inches long. It is best to cut different angles to show the grain. In collecting leaves they may be pressed between newspaper to dry them out and then mounted on paper. I think it is best to mount leaves in a notebook, as they can easily be found, and they do not take up too much room. Buds should l e collected near the end of winter. By dipping them into melted parafline they can be preserved and then mounted on a cardboard. I also like chopping and sawing, which is good exercise. I am experimenting with axes to see which type I can chop with best. The axes 1 have range in weight from three to four pounds. I also have learned how to hang an axe so I can get the most out of it. 1 am in the l-H Club, and by exhibiting my nature collections at 4-H fairs and being in chopping and sawing contests I have made my hobbies worthwhile. As I am able to chop and saw fairly well, I got several jobs after tin hurricane. 1 feel I have gained much of value by spending some time each day on my hobbies. Donald Tufts, ’.‘19 A SLIGHT MISTAKE At home alone Ruth took a book and curled up in her favorite chair fora comfortable evening of reading. The chair in which she was sitting was opposite the fire-place, over which hung a large mirror, wliich reflected the doorway behind her. Ruth read for a long time. As she happened to glance up, she saw in the mirror a man who seemed to be slouched over. She tried to scream but the scream froze in her throat. As she watched the man, lie toppled over with a crash and lay very still. In order to get out of the room, Ruth had to pass him; so to make sure that Ik was unconscious, she threw her book at him, hitting the still figure in the head. Ruth heard a crunch and was sure that she had cracked his skull. She rushed out of the house and bumped into her father, who was coming up the walk. She told him her story, and he hurried into the
