A NEW YEAR’S TREAT.—We are pleased to present to our readers a series of illustrated articles prepared by Mystic No. 7 , who recently returned from a visit to Egypt. Valuable facts have been ascertained concerning the Pyramids, Mummies, Temples and Brotherhoods of Ancient Egypt, as well as the manners, customs and religion of the Egyptians. The first of these interesting articles appeared in the November Number. The next article, appearing in the March issue, we promise you will be especially interesting. Each article will be illustrated with photographs taken by Mystic No. 7 . Do not miss one of these articles or fail to speak of them to your friends.

It Is the giving of that which Is of real value to you, that which you could use or enjoy, yet which you are willing to share.

Perhaps you can buy something or send her a purchaser if she has something to sell. It may be a child trying to work for a noble end, an education; an old grandmother, a little sister.
