The first programme will consist of poems and poetic plays by living American authors. It is being prepared under the guidance of Hedwig Reicher, t league's Artistic Director. A ‘pe: formance will be given in October. The league has sent a letter to the poets of America announcing its birth and asking co-operation and partici- pation in its programmes.

'T was a beautiful afternoon in Out- doorland, ‘The alr was filled with the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers, Birds still hopped to and fro among the branches and chirped cheerful greetings to each other, The ‘sun, though brilliant, was becoming dimmer as the minutes slowly slipped by. It was indeed a lovely evening, Bob and Bess were to be taken by Bombus to one of the beautiful ponds of Outdoorland, When they reached {ts edge they halted, Now, children,” Bombus com- menced, “to-day will be a trip to the kingdom of the fish.” Bob and Bess eagerly clapped their hands for joy. This certainly was an unusual treat. ‘They had not ex- pected it for all the world, Bombus waved his hand in a cir- cle and muttered a few mysterious words, and presto! a graceful canoe stood invitingly béfore them. They stepped in, Bombus continued the magic passes and the canoe glided lawiftly over the bright waters until it reached the centre of the pond, where it stopped, “Now, children,” proceeded Bombus, | look straight into the water.” Again he muttered strange words and lo!

Look at that beautiful fish!” jeried Bess, joyfully pointing her fin- ger at @ fish which swam gracefully about. “My! That 1s really a fine fish,” said Bob who very much was en- joying the fine time they were hav- ing. “Now, Bess," sald Prof, Bombus, “as that fish which you pointed out to us was a Michigan Grayling, I suppose I will have to tell you some things about it There is no apecies sought for by anglers that surpasses the grayling in beauty of color, a well as form, Its dorsal fin is’ the superb mark of loveliness. ‘The gray- ling 1s more graceful and more eie- gantly formed than the trout." “But, Bombus,” Bess interrupted at this point, "why is it that 1 see only now and then a grayling, while plenty of other fish swim about?” At these words the Professor sadly shook his wise head. “That 1s be- cause they are so sought by fisher- men, but {tt is too long a story to tell,” Not until later will men realize the great harm they are doing.” “That's a shame,” said Bob, who had been a quiet Ustener all the while.

Only now and then the twitter of a lonely bird could be heard “Come, children," said Bombus | finally, ‘Tt 1s getting late and we must depart.” As they withdrew night reigned. The sun had sunk to rest behind the hills, A cool breeze swept among the nodding flowers, Only the occasional cry of some Whippoorwill or the hoot of a lonely owl broke the silence. Back in their homes the children slept until the herald of Wide-awake Land came to blow his trumpet. ‘age fourteen, No. 29 St. Mark's Place, New York City. > | A TWENTY-TWO-INCH felt pennant, made in the Klub colors, blue and | gold, and bearing the Kiddie Klub |name, will be at free to every Klub member who sec five new members, geannnnnanannnnonbonennnnnieeee l } Earna Klub Pennant } é Klub. member who fringe’ in’ with him or ber four other new memb« ‘Six. couples, numbered in rotation, ust, Pe, ry Fi, eee 2 sens! tnd. ‘Of each new member, just i of each as reporteds wen individual kiddies ap- bly, for, mecaberenla. lembers who canot save the coupons may obtain pennants by sending 10 cents, with name, Written by PAULINE SCHULAMIN, | Questions and Answers Q.
