Once Upon a Time
Every now and then the postman leaves at the office of The Evening Sun a message that brims over with pleasure for the recipient. Among such communications we gratefully acknowledge the following, addressed to us by a young friend in the South:
“Durham N. C. March 29.
”Dear editor—I like the Once upon a time stories very much pleas make them a little longer Father reads them to me after Supper. do you tell them to your little boy or girl with love Lucy Glasson Mary likes them to”
Time was, Lucy, when we told some of these stories to our little boy and girl at bedtime, and now, years afterwards, we are glad to think that we can tell them over to thousands of other people’s little boys and girls. If only they will think of us occasionally as Lucy Glasson does, “with love,” how rich will be our reward. N.Y. Evening Sun.
North Carolina has recently organized a Folk-Lore Society, which will be a branch of the National Folk-Lore Society.
