S — — ————— e INVISIBLE COLOR BOOK i LEARN TC DRAW Learn to draw so you can make little pictuvea of your uwn to paint and color like you have learned to do by painting the INVISIBLE pictures in this book. Read carefully the following simple instruc- tions and you will quickly learn how to draw the objects your ART teacher ha% suggested here. Lesson 13 We have learned in other lessons that the A. B. C's of drawing are A. the circle, B. the square, C. the triangle. With these we have made little pictures, showing how these three shapes are found in all ob- jects we wish to draw. By learning the A. B. Cs you learn to observe what shapes are contained in the subject of your picture. In the les- son last week the Square was used throughout, with the lines and an- gles as the outlines of the objects. In today’s lesson we have the tri- angle showing how just the lines and angles of this shape outline the houses and trees of the, picture. Try to see in the sketches you make, these different shapes. It will be easy for you to draw, when you know what to look for. Editor’s note to parents: This course of instruction for the little ones is intended and planned to give them an understanding of the few simple fundamental shapes that are used in the construction, of all pictures; and to teach them to look for these shapes in the objects they are always trying to make pic- tures of. Every' child loves to . draw. With an understandmg of the A. B. C's as outlined in these lessons, it will be very easy to teach them to draw well in a short time. The lessons will advance a little each week with an added interest to the child. A scrapbook kept of these lessons will be of value not only to the child, but many older and advanced students, LARRY HUDSON’S AMBITION By James Otis Chapter 11 IN THE CITY DEACOI: dDOAK taught the members of his househuid to rise before the sun did. On this pnmcular Fourth of July morning, however, there was no necessity for him to call either Joe or Ned. “Get up, Ned!” Cried Joe! “Get up! We'll be sure to miss the train if you don't hurry‘” “But it isn't daylight yet,” said Master Clark sleepily. “It soon will be. The sky in the cast is gray alrcady, and 1 ecan hear father stirring around downstairs. By this time his cousin was fully awake, and out of bed, dressing himself with nervous haste. “It's kmder strapge that on the average mornin’ I'm obleeged to call you three or four times before you show any signs of life,” Deacon Doak said, without pausing in his task of blowing the fire, as the boys came downstairs. “There's a big difference between goin' into the city to stay a whole day, an’ hoein’ potatoes,” Joe replied, cheerily. “Perhaps if we should turn out two or three mornin's for the same reason, we might get into the habit of doin't it.” “Perhaps 1 could work you into the way of doin’ sich things cheaper by cuttin’ a stout birch rod.” “But yon'll have jest as much fun as we shall, father.” “My mind ain't sot on sich things so much as yourn is, Joseph. How- somever, we're goin’ to the city, cost what it may, an' I don't sece any reason why vou boys shouldn’t be hustlin’ 'round, doin’ what you can to help me an’ your mother, instead of standin’ there as if you’d nothin' in the world to do but climb into the wagon when we're ready to start for the depot.” The distance from the farm to the station was less than half a mile; yet Major, the superannuated plough-horse, was standing before the door, har- nessed to the double-seated wagon, at five o'clock,- and both Mrs. Doak and Nell, Joe's sister, were occupying their accustomed places in the vehicle. At that moment Jethro, the dog, dashed around the corner of the house. “Now, what will we do with Jeth?" Nellie asked, excitedly. “Ned an' I'll tie him in the shed,” said Joe. “It would be truel to leave the poor dog shut up while we are enjoying gurs’elves. I'd almost rather stay at home than think of him in the shed all . day.” “Bless your heart, child, there’s no need of worryin' about Jeth. He won't try to come on the cars, but will stay with Major contentedly enough,” and raising her voice, Mrs. Doak cried, “Hurry, father, huny’ We haven't any too much time if we count on takin’ the first train!” During the short ride Mrs. Doak and Nellie talked ammau*dly of what they expected to see; but neither Joe nor Ned joined in the econversation. The prospect of spendmg a day in the city, and the belief that once there they could find such lucrative employment it would not be necessary for them to return to the farm again, save when bent on pleasure, plunged them into rather a serious frame of mind. When the rumbling of the approaching train could be heard far away in the distance, Deacon Doak marshaled his family at the edge of the plat- form, imstructing them to remain in ]me ready to step on board instantly the cars came to a standstill. Ten minutes after the train left the station, the novelty of being in such rapid motion had lost ite charm for Joe and Ned and they decided it was time for a second meal. *“We had breakfast so early I guess a bit won't do any of us harm”® Aunt Mercy replied, as she unpacked the generous store of food which had been prepared in order that they might novt forced to purchase such neces- saries in the city. Joe and Ned almost forgot that thu was the duy on ‘which they were to make such a great change in their condition, and, when the cars rolled into ®he enormous station at the terminus of the journey there was so much te occupy their attention that it was as if the plan had never been decided upon. n Doak, who believed himself thoroughly !mfliar with the eny, the way into the street. - “Don’t stand there gapin’ as if you'd never seen the city belon, be OH. “Keeo close behind me unless you want to be lost.” ter Thus admonished, the boys took good care to keep very near the deacon’ during the next half hour. - ~ Down one street and up another Mr Doak led hls famlly. never allow. ing them to halt a smg]e ingtant untll Mrs. Doak saud ‘)reathlessly, and in an imploring tone: “Do stop a minute, father, for it seems as. it 1 couldn‘t hke another stev- It appears as if you was huntm for somethin.". “Huntin'? Of course I am!” .4 “We've passed sights enough to keep me starih' all day.“ I've heard a rood deal about New York; but never believed it was such a dreadful blg rlace as this. What more do you want, father?” » " wi —¥ “Want? 1 come down here to show you an® the ehildrm the Fourth of July celebration, but I'm afraid they’ve made up their mmda to have the doin’s Monday instead of today.” ) “We ought to go out to the park if we want to see the fun,” Joe n)d, with an air of exceedmg vnwom “That’s wherc Ned an’ I counted on findin' the most goin’ on.’ ; “There's enough here, goodness knows,” Aunt Mercy replied, with a long- drawn sigh. *It's terrible hard work traipsin’ over these brick an’ stone sidewalks.” “S'posin’ we have a ride on the elevatin' cars?” Joe suggested. *‘Sam Bart- m says we can go to the park on 'em, an’ I've always wanted to ride in air.” “We can’t afford to spend money jest for the sake of tryin’ experknnzl. an’, besides, they don't look any too strong to suit me. [ ain’t given to that iort of thing at my time of life,” and the deacon gaszed scrutinisingly at the overhead structure. “If they'd let us ride on them cars for nothin’, 1 don't believe’ I'd take the risly It's like temptin’ Providence.” “But thcy must be safe, father,” Nellie said, pleadingly, eager as eithey of the boys to ride far above the street in the cars. “If they wasn’t, the city fclks wouldn't go on them.” The children were thoroughly disappointed, and, seeing the expression on their faces, Aunt Mercy hastened to say: “Your father knows what is best, an’ 'l do" ho you won’t persist im travelin’ any sich way. Stay with us till after we've seen the celebration an’ then perhaps father will Jet us have dinner in one of the eatin’ places we've seen. 1 would like to taste a city meal once in my life.” Deacon Doak turned as if to reprove, then checked himself suddenly, and ‘p@id: 1 «“It') be time enough to think about glittony after we've seen the sigbtl.‘ Are you boys countin’ on stayin’ with us, or do you want to go off somewhere #n’ lose yourselves?” Then Aunt Mercy spoke in a low tone to the deacon. “We'll risk it, seein’s Fourth of July don't come but once a year! Follow ‘me and we will get a regular city dinner, never mind what it costs!” * “He must be terrible hungry,” Joe whispered to Ned, and the two poys were very careful not to lose sight of their leader during the next ten minutes, et the end of which time he stopped in front of what appeared to them w be @ most magnificently furnished restaurant. \C”WM, 1861, ty L ©.
