This summer I think I would like

to go to National Park. It is in Wyoming near large mountains. I

PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER "RIDES RANGE"

Let to right, Douglas Fairbanks, Mrs William McAdoo and Mr. McAdoo. To see a daughter of a president of the United States and an ex-secretary of the U. S. treasury together with a "movie" millionaire roughing it through the wild cactus Dlains of the West is a rare sixht. Mrs. Mn-

Adoo, the daughter of the president, has become quite adept at "ridin the range," but it comes much easier to her than to the usual tenderfoot because she comes from a family which was born and bred among Southern bluebloods. Her husband the ex-secretary also hails from the Southland and in no ftmatpiir at "hrnnnhn

bustin'." As for the famous Douglas Fairbanks little will have to be said of his ability as he is known every place that the motion picture is known. "Doug" and "Mac" are good pals now through their business af-

iinauuns, Mr. mcaqoo Demg counsel lor the Dig motion picture star combine. The. nhntn shnv thom

Children Present A

Tom Thumb Wedding

On Friday May 9, at 8 o'clock, the children of the Second Presby

terian church on North Nineteenth street, presented the Tom Thumb

wedding.

Some forty-five tiny tots partlci

pated. The affair was in imitation

of a fashionable church wedding, the little ladies wearing daintily

colored gowns made entraine, with low neck and short sleeves, while

the little men wore full dress even

ing suits.

The bride was little Miss Gwen

dolyn Wessler. She entered with

her father who was impersonated by Master Edward McMillan. She

wore a handsome Dridai gown or

white brocaded satin with an over dress of net and a long veil.

The bridal party took its place on the platform to the strains of

Lohengrin's wedding march. The polite ushers, Masters Howard Hollar and Eugene Stegall, took their places first and were 'followed by the brides maids, the Misses Beatrice Smith and Lois Lucile Bennett They were beautiful in white dresses, with lace and pink ribbon trimmings. Next came the maid of honor, little Miss Dorothy Lucile Stegall, wearing a beautiful gown of white voile over pink. The flower girl, little Virginia

Merrill, and the ring bearer, little

Ruth Hayworth, went before the bride as she was escorted to the

platform on the arm of her father.

The groom, wearing the conven

tional black, walked to the plat

form by the side of the best man, Master Robert Lawrence. The

groom was Master James Harter.

The minister, Master Harry Sterling, used the ring ceremomy in officiating.

How Children Play in Asia , Way over in Turkey and Arabia the children play London Bridge, too, only they call it "Iftahu il Bab," which means "Open the gate." They play it almost exactly as we do hero, only instead of singing "London bridge Is falling down, my fair lady," they sing In a very solemn tone, "Open the gate for me and my carriage to enter." Then when the boys and girls who make the gate drop their hands, instead of making up things to ask you to choose between, in Asia, they always ask, "What do you want, the grapes or the figs?" Every child no matter what he is playing, has a sheepbone, which he always uses in one way or another, making it represent everything from a doll to a sword. They play a queer game, too,

called "The Hen and the Chicken.". It came right from Palestine.

Some one sings, "Sway, begin

ner! The tomb of Mohammed from Bagdad! Take it away, Put it on this."

(Which probably is not intended

to mean anything at all.)

Then after a long time, a Vic

tim and a Leader are chosen. Tho Victim kneels in front of the Leader, who pats her lightly, singing the while:

"Beat the drum in the courtyard: But for the cat, The mice would eat us up Root and branch Root and branch

Tree and leaf and flower; Beat the big drum in the court

yard.

For the father of Othman Has come from the wars.

The father of Othman Has planted a garden

A green garden A red garden A garden silver and gold. The father of Othman Shouted a brave shout. And the wall of the garden Fell from the shout Beat the drum, the big drum In the courtyard, And answer: What do you want The hen of the chicken?" "The hen!" cries the kneeling girl. "Ouk-ouk-onk ! " the Leader imitates a hen's cackle, and then all the other girls crowd around and

tickle the Victims back. "Whose hand is on top?" asks one of the birls, and, if the Victim guesses right, the girl she has guessed, takes her place. And the very same thing happens, should the Victim choose the chicken instead of the hen. Boys Play Indian. The boys of Asia play very much like American boys. They play "Leap Frog," Black Man (which is something like "Prisoners' Base"), and Indian. They call this last game, "Cowboy and Indian," paint themselves up to look as if they were tattooed and then proceed to chase after and scalp all Indians of unfriendly tribes. The queer thing about it, is that these wild west Indians call themselves by such names as, Mohammed, Moustaffa, Abderrahman, Faizl or Ahmet. The scalping knife is the usual blunt pointed bone of a sheep. From the Red Cross Magazine for May.

Jane's Place Once upon a time there was a little girl. Her mother and father were dead. One day Jane was out walking. Jane was the little girl's name. As she walked along she looked up and saw a fairy. The fairy asked the little girl where she lived and the little girl said she lived in the woods, and then Jane told her about when she was rich and lived with her mother and father. The fairy asked the

little girl if she would come and live with all the fairies, and she said, yes. When she went along the road, the fairy ' said to close her eyes and she did. When she opened them she was in a a beautiful palace with golden walls and diamonds. She lived happy after that Violet Mae Winters. Warner School
