We should have said the second son.

THE EDITOR.

LETTERS FROM OUR YOUNG FRIENDS.

The Editor has much pleasure in acknowledging letters from Robertson B., Grace K., and M.T.W.

We are very glad to know that the trees that were moved are alive and doing well.

    DEAR MR. EDITOR: 

    I read THE GREAT ROUND WORLD and I think it very nice. 
    I am glad to read in the number for February 25th about the
    moving of Katonah, for I live in Katonah myself.

The people of Katonah do not want to have it thought that New York city has made them move because they are careless about their drainage.  It is because the city is going to make a new reservoir where the old village of Katonah now stands.  Katonah has three churches, a public library and reading-room, a village improvement association, and a graded school, and was proud of itself.

We hope the new village will be even nicer than the old one.  The
trees that were moved are living and doing well.

Yours truly,
ROBERTSON B. (Age 11). 
KATONAH, N.Y., March 2d, 1897.

DEAR EDITOR: 

I have been reading THE GREAT ROUND WORLD for three or
four months, and like it very much.  I am particularly interested
in the Cubans, and hope they will soon gain their freedom.

I have just finished “Little Women,” and perhaps the other
little girls and boys have read it, too.  I think it is splendid.

I am eleven years old, and this is my first letter, so I hope
you will publish it.

Wishing THE GREAT ROUND WORLD continued success, I am

Yours truly,
GRACE K.

DEAR MR. EDITOR: 

My teacher subscribes for your paper for children, so that I
learn a great deal.  I liked the account about the Nicaragua
Canal very much last week, as I know little about it.

I look every week with pleasure for the coming of THE GREAT
ROUND WORLD, as I am so interested in all the news you give
us.  Wishing your paper great success, I am

                                 Your little reader,
                                             M.T.W. (Age 9).

INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.

A new paper doll has been invented by a Brooklyn woman.

It is so arranged that the arms and legs are fastened on movable discs, and Miss Dolly, instead of being the flat, uninteresting thing that most paper dolls are, can move her arms and legs, and attend tea parties, and take refreshments, just as any well brought-up stuffed dolly can.

She is to wear a great many beautiful dresses, which will take on and off easily, and will be a very nice companion for the little women who live in apartments, and have not much room for their dollies.
