so pretty to see the gold against the dark forest.
You can see the church from nearly all the surroundings of Baden,
and it often serves as a guide.
About twenty minutes' walk from the church is the lake in the
woods. When you reach it and are tired of walking, there are
plenty of benches to sit down on and feed the swans. To go home
you have your choice between half a dozen roads, no one prettier
than the other. I found some little American friends in Baden to
play with, but no members of the Round Table. I hope that some
members will go there and enjoy themselves as much as I did.

Prizes for Pen-drawings.
HARPER'S ROUND TABLE wishes to have illustrated one of the stories to
which it awards a prize in its Story Contest ending January 1, 1896. Do
you want to try your hand? $10 is offered for the best illustration, and
we will print it with the story as soon as it can be suitably
reproduced. What is wanted is a pen-drawing that will be, when printed,
about 3-1/2 by 5 inches in size. It should be drawn, therefore, 5 by 10
inches. Use Bristol-board and India-ink. If you wish to submit a
drawing, send to HARPER'S ROUND TABLE, New York, previous to January 1,
1896, a written request for the story in proof. When you receive the
proof you select your own subject, make the drawing in your own way, and
return it with the proof. If after you receive the proof you do not wish
to submit a drawing in the competition, you simply tear up the proof.
Competition is open to those only who have not passed their eighteenth
birthday.
A Very Kind Offer.
Mr. Kirk Munroe, whose visit to Good Will Farm has much aroused his
interest in the Round Table School there, offers to give a reading from
his own works in New York city toward the end of November, the exact
date to be fixed later, the proceeds to go toward the Fund.
Why can't we make this a memorable occasion? Let us hear from New York,
Brooklyn, Newark, and all other near-by members. Where shall we have
this reception and reading? Will _you_ help to make it a success? We
want the assistance of all who live near enough to attend. Tell us if
you will help.
New Idea in Puzzles.

ROUND TABLE? They have been exceptionally good, and of many styles. A
new style of puzzle is wanted. That is, an idea in
