Aunt Este's Stories For Children My dear little ones: Before I stop telling' you star stories I want to tell you what the study of the stars Is called. It is Astronomy—and If ever you liear any one using that big word—just you prick up your ear and listen, und you may hear far more wonderful things than Aunt Eate could ever tell you in a thousand nights. Now I want every little girl and boy who reads these stories to write me a letter, telling me what winter thing they would best like to hear a story of. Address your letter. Aunt Este, care of the Telegraph, Harrlsburg, Pa„ and I will try my best to tell you some good winter stories. And now we will say good-by to the little star stories by hear ing the last one. THE TWINKLERS WHO H'EKK RIOT TWINKLERS Once upon a time, long, long ago the iixed stars or planets gave a party. For you must know dear little ones, there are different classes In the beautiful blue meadows—and .the great fixed stars are as far above the merry little twinklers who sparkle and shine in wee groups, as the President of our great United States above the little barefoot urchins who run the streets. Indeed, they are farther above them than that, for our barefoot urchins may some day become our president, while the merry, little twinklers can never, never become a fixed star, even although they should try thousands of years. I should have said the Fixed Stars were as far above the Merry Twinklers as a King is above a peasant fwhtch you would understand better If you were a French or English little boy or girl.) Well, one night the Fixed Stars decided to have a party. My! but it was a brilliant affair. There was a wonderful array of beautiful star women and gallant star men. Of courso the most beautiful was Venus, who sparkled In her brilliant evening dress just like some great jewel. Then thero was Mars, clothed In his strongest light—and Jupiter, wonderful star being that he Is, and Saturn, the wise, and all the re»t. But not one of the little twinklers were asked—no NOT ONE. Poor Mother Moon got there only by the green of her cheese, as tho planets did riot even consider her quite in their class. I wish you might have Been the blue room—and the sky parlor -which 'was used for a ballroom. The hangings were the most gorgeous shades of gray and blue, shot with silver light. tßound about hung little star jack-o-lanters to make the scene more wonderful. If you promise ftever to tell—the Jack-o-lanterns were nothing more nor less than some of the merry little twinklers who were willing to even be hanging lights in ordar to g#t a p««p In at the party.
