Dorothy E. Brown 's story called ' Mousie,' about a little girl whose pet was an imaginary mouse. Mothers who have watched their children at play with their own imag.nary friends will understand why so many boys and girls liked this tale when they heard it before, and will know, too, how important a part such make-believe act vi y plays in their development. For as yet they hardly distinguish between the real and the imaginary, and in playing out these fantasies they are finding their way about life, re-living experiences they have already had, combining different experiences into completely new ones, and experimenting with new situations of their own creating. Thus anything which finds its way into their everyday lives may reappear in their play, though, to the grown-up, their choice of ' friends ' is sometimes undoubtedly unexpected-for example, one youngster we heard ot had adopted a sea-!ion, and another found a girl-friend called ' School Fees 'I Elizabeth A.

6 — ' The Citizen Soldier
Past and Present' by K. C. Boswell
The Ralph Sharon Sextet
Last week Marleen encouraged and flirted with Thompkins who was most unhappy because of Susie. Peggy Dale went shopping with Maud French and returned with her hair dyed and heavily made up. Grandfather Dale was furious and so unkind that Peggy left Virginia Lodge and went to stay at a hotel. Miss Kendrick told Miss Russell that she broke the vase by accident, and not to get Sally into trouble. Both Dr. Dale and Label presented Mrs. Dale with a copy of the bag: it turned out that Mrs. Dale had changed her mind and lent Isabel Gwen's evening bag.
