"HOT RICE" GAME OF ENGLISH BOYS

Holy Trinity Boys' School, Richmond, Surrey, England. Dear Joseph Cox: I was very interested in the letter you sent me, as it Was very nice to hear from an American boy on the other side of the world and to hear your version of the town you live in. My town is not 8 city, but a pleasure place, because so many people come to Richmond to go on the river. The population is aboutj 38, uuu people ana we nave no Quakers living here. My town Is situated on the ank3 of the River Thames, which is noted for its beauty. Every day pleasure steamers leave Richmond pi erfor Hampton Court, Stains, and London. In winter we have some sncw but our river does not freeze over, so we cannot go skating like you can. I think it must be very enjoyable. The bridge that crosses the Thames is made of concrete and is very old. In my town we have no big factories such as you have. We have a large number of schools situated in this town. My school is the biggest boys' school in Richmond. The favorite games of ours are football, cricket, rounders, hot rice, and many other games. 1 will send you a plan of where the men stand in the game of cricket. Tlease will you tell me whether you would rather live under a a king or under a republic. Our king was 55 years old, the 3rd of June, 1920. I will now tell you about my home and my parents. The house I live in is situated in St. George's Road, number 50, and has six rooms and a big back yard. In my garden I keep a lot of chickens. My father has been a soldier in this war and has been to France. My father was in the Durham Light Infantry Transport and he was a sergeant. He was discharged from the army last May and he now works at the Richmond Self-Raising Flour works, Mortlake. My mother is very kind to me and she keeps me in good clothes and boots. I have two brothers both younger than I am, and they go to the same school. I think I have no more to say, and I hope I shall hear from you soon. I remain, Yours truly, PHILIP STURT. Ed. Note: This letter was received by Joseph Cox, of the Richmond High school, in answer to a very interesting one, so we hear, although we did not have a chance to read it, which Joseph wrote to Philip, in Richmond, England. BOY SCOUTS TO BE IN PEAGE PARADE Richmond Boy Scouts are going to be represented in the big parade for Armistice day, November 11, 1920. The boys of Troop No. 5, the Y troop of scouts, are to have a float in the parade, Mr. Thomas P. Wilson announced Wednesday. It will represent some phase of scout activity. The Boy Scout meeting scheduled for Monday evening, was postponed until next Monday evening, Oct. 4. Mr. Willsdorf, local attorney, as announced before, will be the speaker of the evening. After the program, a business meeting will be held, and plans made by the boys for the float Which they will have in the parade. Every member of Troop 5 is urged to be present. Some idea of the real workings of finance is seen by the reply of one of America's keenest financiers. "But this plan of yours," said a critic, "seems to be nothing but taking money out of the pockets of the people." "And where else can money come from?" Queried the financier.,

On Wednesday evening a second expedition was taken, this time to Elliott's Mills. Claire Evans was chairman of the "eats" committee. The first number of the "Headlight" for this school year, will appear about Oct. 29. The Garfield orchestra made its first appearance of the present school year, before the Garfield pupils and teachers in chapel Friday afternoon. It played several numbers.

Other games played this week were, on Tuesday, when Room 1 beat Room 4 in. a game ending with a 23-7 score, and Wednesday, when Room 3 defeated Room 2 in a game ending with a score of 14 to 11. A fellow who was late for the last ferry-boat crossing the Hudson River, but who reached the dock just when the boat was , a little more than a yard from the wharf, leaped across and landed safely. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his face, and breathed hard for a minute or two, then, glancing back at the space between the boat and the wharf now fifty yards or so, he exclaimed: "Jiminey, what a jump"

RICHMOND JUNIORS TO SEE EXHIBITION OF GREAT PORTRAITS

Having your picture "taken" takes much less time than if you ' were to "sit" -or pose to. have your picture painted. The first likeness nowadays, we call a photograph,' the second, a portrait Portraits have from early times greatly Interested people and art- -Ists of different ages have spent their lives in painting them. In all art galleries of the world, portraits form some of the most beautiful of all paintings. On next Wednesday, one of the most delightfully planned exhibits ever shown In our local art gallery v will be formally opened. It will beJ a portrait exhibit. Every picture exhibited will be a likeness of some real person, and many children will . be there that is, in their pictures. Many live children will be there, too, for Miss Williams has planned that every boy and girl of ' the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades of the public schools may see this exhibit . Mrs. Melville P. Johnston, who has spent much time in planning the exhibit, has selected many , paintings which boys and girls will . especially like. Portraits in oil painted by Americans of the present day will be of interest, especially as you will really know some of the people who have painted them. Portraits In pastel and water color will also nave a place In the exhibit A group of tiny, perfect little paintings will be shown, too. They are called miniatures, and a charming form of portraiture they exhibit, too. There will be a group of famous old paintings done by foreign art- -Ists, on exhibit. These are not the original paintings. There is just one "original" and it could not jump far enough or fast enough to be seen by everyone who wants to see a beautiful picture so people make beautiful reproductions, or pictures Just as nearly like the first one as possible, and that is what the pictures in this group are. Here we will see two children telling each others fortune, as Reynolds saw it; and a little girl picking luscious-looking strawberries; the famousMona Lisa, whose eyes will catch you, in whatever part of the room you happen to be; and Erasmus, 'the great scholar, who studied when he was an old man. Holbein 1b the artist who wished to paint the picture of this great man. Pictures of queens and great? ladies are so elegant-looking, we think, and a very beautiful lady painted by the artist Gainsborough will let us see her during the ex-. hiblt. A portrait loved by many people Whistler's painting of his mother will also be shown. Will She Be Your Teacher? The showing of likenesses secured by mechanism, or photographs, and their great-grandparents, the daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes, and silhouettes, will be a part of the exhibit that will absorb the interest of many people. Many children of long ago will be shown among these, and you will laugh to see the way your great-grandmothers and greatgrandfathers used to dress. One of these older photographs will be the likeness of a popular teacher in the Richmond High school. See if you can find her. , "ALL HERE" CLUB FORMED AT HIBBERD SCHOOL "All Here" is the unique name of a club formed by the boys and girls of the 6th room of Hibberd school. The meeting time is the first period of every Monday morning. Esther Fienning is president of the club; Howard Sweet is secre- t tary, and Helen Lee is critic. Perhaps the most curious definition of a net was that of an Irish ! lad who called it "a lot of holes tied together with strings."
