UNCLE JED’S TALK TO WIDE AWAKES 2 As T have been reading all the inte- resting letters from the Wide-Awakes for the last few weeks, I have noticed how many of them speak of what mice times they have been having/ What with. picnics into the country and to the seashore, visits to uncles and aunts, trips to the country by the eity Wide- Awakes, and trips to the city by the country boys and girls, they have all been having a good time. A cheerfal, happy note sings through all their let- ters and stories. And that is as it should be. We want to see our boys {ana gifls cheerful>happy and light- harted, for all that helps them to grow up into hearty and healthy young peo- ple, and later on men and Women. And I'm equally sure that many of the Wide-Awakes have discovered ome of the wonderful secrets about being happy and having a good time, and those that haven't- found it out for themselves would like to have it pointed out to them. Said in a few words, it is ,just about this, that hapiness shared is ‘ happiness doubled. How do we share happiness? By helping to give some- body else a happy moment through the good time that we are having. That kind of sharing does not take away from our oWwn happiness bur rather increases it Happiness does not get thin by be- ing spread around. Sharing our fun is not exactly what I mean. agree that that is easy emough. But there are ways outsile of merely hav- {ig fun and a good time that we can help thoge around us to be happy and For Girls to' Make A Patriotic Party BY CAROLYN SHERWIN BAILEY Why not surprise your guests at your v'atriotic party with some new decora- tions and favors? How about a joily Thrift Bag to begin with? The Thrift Bag Use red, white, and blue cambric sewed in strips, or red and white deco- rated with blue stars or stripes.

A Flag Pie Fill a round tin with small favers or s of candies, each wrapped in tissue paper, and having a ribbon attached long enough to reach from the center of the table to each guest’s place. Stuff chinks in this pie with shredded paper, cover the top with red crepe paper, cut- ting slits in it through which the ribe bons are drawn, and tie wide red, white and blue ribbons around the e to cover up the sides of the tin. Stick small fiags in the top of the pie umtil it is covered with the colors. At the end of the party feast, the guests pull their ribbons, break the pie, and enjoy its contents.
