It is not known, dear Sir Knight Latham, who was the wearer of the Iron
Mask. There are many theories, but no positive knowledge. F.W.L.
Bunting, Abbott Street, Cairns, Queensland, Australia, is a Knight who
is fond of letter-writing, and a stamp collector in for trading. He
wants to hear from you. Charles E. Abbey, Chester, N. J., asks if James
Dixon, a former prize-winner in one or two of our contests, will write
him. He wants to trade minerals and stones with anybody.
Edith Cline, Lewisberry, Pa., waits to receive a ribbon with your name,

suppose you know what a trolley party is. A party of young people
charter a car for the evening, and ride all over the city and into
the suburbs. The trolley party is a craze in this city at present.
It is very common to see strings of illuminated cars coming down
the streets in twos, generally accompanied by a band of music. It
