During the last three months the Pansy Junior Society of Tompkinsville, Staten Island, N. Y., has entered into a new field of action, that of specific work for others who have fewer advantages than they.

Forty paper dolls have been made and dressed. About one half of these are babies with one dress each, the others being children each provided with six dresses. Two china dolls have been entirely fitted out, while others are in various stages of completion.

Having heard of an invalid who was patching a quilt and desired pretty pieces outlined in colors for it, the Society decided to work a few for her; five of these are already finished.

Up in Essex County, deep in among the Adirondacks, lives a lovely Scotch lady who has interested herself in the children of that region. These little ones have absolutely nothing in the line of reading, and by a unanimous vote of the Society, it was decided to send them some nice books and Sunday-School papers, thereby forming the nucleus of a sort of circulating library, of which the Scotch lady will be the head. We hope, sometime in the near future, to open correspondence with the children themselves, and if possible, to start a branch of the P. S. in Essex County.

The members of our Junior Society show great interest in the work of subduing their faults, and many have been the conquests over self. Of course we all often forget, but frequently the knowledge—and acknowledgment—of our shortcomings, has but added fresh earnestness to the desire not to be overcome.

At a recent meeting we decided to have a motto, and the one chosen was, "For we are laborers together with God." With this watchword, and with the help of Him who is our Captain, we intend to go on—and up.
