ELIZABETH. STILL LIFE. BY DOROTHY OCHTMAN,AGE rj. of the pleasant hours spent in work-ing for the St. Nicholas , if you only knew what we think,how we feel, when disappointmentconies month aftermonth, and at last,when the goal of our strug-gles is reached, we knowthat patience and persever-ance have taught us thewell-known lesson, It isworth while to keep am very fond of poetry(my lovely badges and cashprize were awarded forthat), and I think yourpoems are even better thanyour stories.

Iam sending a little Easter booklet, wishing every League member,too, the happiest of Easters. Your loving friend and appreciative read
