S. AND F.--You can buy pongee, Surah, or some other kind of soft
cream-colored or dull yellow silk, at almost any large dry-goods store
in New York city. You can vary the color of the background and the
outline of the flowers according to your taste, but it is prettier
always to outline the steins and leaves with green. If you put your work
in a frame, you will find it difficult to do the darning stitch of the
background.

R. A. E., AND HARRY Q.--We shall be glad to receive an occasional letter
from you describing any interesting experience you may have during your
contemplated excursions. Letters from all boys and girls who, during
their summer vacation, see anything new and worth writing about, will
also be welcome. Write your communications on one side of the paper
only, and try to tell only those things which are of interest to other
boys and girls.

H. H.--You can make very good molasses candy by boiling together half a
pound of brown sugar and one quart of molasses. Drop a little in a cup
of cold water, and if it hardens, it is ready for cooling. When it is
sufficiently boiled, put in a small piece of butter and a little essence
of wintergreen. Cool in a flat, buttered pan. If you wish to make it
white, flour your hands and pull it as soon as it is cool enough to
handle. Then make it into small twisted sticks.

WIGGLES.
As some of our new subscribers do not understand what "Wiggles" are, we
will repeat our explanation. The drawing marked New Wiggle, No. 19, on
page 432, forms a portion of the _outline_ of a picture. The endeavor of
a wiggle contributor is to furnish a sketch which will resemble our
artist's idea.
TWO NEW SERIALS.
Two Serial Stories will begin in the next Number of HARPER'S YOUNG
PEOPLE, entitled respectively
THE CRUISE OF THE "GHOST,"
By W. L. ALDEN,
AUTHOR OF "THE MORAL PIRATES,"
and
SUSIE KINGMAN'S DECISION;
OR, THE STORY OF A MAY PARTY,
By KATE R. McDOWELL.
* * * * *
Two New Serials, "THE CRUISE OF THE GHOST" and "SUSIE KINGMAN'S
DECISION," are commenced in No. 80 of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, issued May
10. The former is by W. L. ALDEN, author of "The Moral Pirates," and
relates the cruise of four boys in a small yacht along the south shore
of Long Island. During a dense fog they drift out to sea, and meet with
many adventures. The youthful reader will find the story intensely
interesting as well as instructive. The illustrations are drawn by W. A.
ROGERS and J. O. DAVIDSON.
"SUSIE KINGMAN'S DECISION" is the story of a May Party, written for
girls by KATE R. MCDOWELL, and is fresh, breezy, and full of interest.
It is illustrated by Mrs. JESSIE CURTIS SHEPHERD.
