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.

tnink the great planets are nothing but bright merry twlnklers.
, « \'^ nd Berv ? B those proud folk right, too," say all the merry
twlnklers ln the blue meadow. "They are not better than we are,
for we are all doing just the best we can—they ln their corner and
we ln ours. I guess the little children of the earth land would miss
us as much as the fixed stars If wo would fall from tho blue
meadows."
And so they would of course, for although the great planets
are bright—they are fow—and the little children of the earth land
would miss the merry twlnklers as much as the planets—if not
more—because you see they themselves are the merry twlnklers of
the great earth folk —and they love the little things that sparkle
and play. Lovingly,
