GIRLHOOD STORIES OF FAMOUS WOMEN

AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

Dear Junior Friends: Next Monday is a holiday and that means probably a picnic or a two-day trip to grandfather's or any other real good kind of a time. Besides there will be fireworks because it will be the Fourth of July. Best of all we will be celebrating one of the very greatest days In all the year, and one of the most important events that ever took place ou American soil the achievement of America's independence. It takes a different kind of ability and endurance to run a mile run in a track meet than to run a fifty yard dash. It is with joy and pride and honor that Americans realize that they not only secured Independence in 1776, but that we have kept it ever since in very happy times and in very dark times and by continual service and sacrifice. It gives people joy to hold in memory something that is dear to them. The memory of the men and women of Wayne county who gave up all their work and plans and comfort and who were willing to give up and of whom many did give up their lives to maintain America's honor and independence is a deep joy to the people of that county and

they wish to express their memory in some fitting way. The people of Wayne county, therefore, are thinking seriously of planting trees along the National Road in Wayne county, each tree in honor of some man or woman In the county who was In military service during the war. Bronze tablets will be erected at least that is the plan by each tree giving the name and service of the person for whom It stands as a memorial. This plan has been adopted in many places In the United States. In St. Joseph county, Indiana, where South Bend Is located, 5.000 trees will be planted this fall along the Lincoln and Dixie highways. The trees will be elms, maples and other trees that are judged suitable for memorial avenues. In many places community houses or monuments are being erected but people of Richmond and Wayne county seem to be favoring the planting of trees as something living and beautiful, symbolic of our memory of the service of those who served In the World war. So next Monday, besides thinking of roast beef sandwiches, cookies and firecrackers and sparklers, be glad that at all times, men and women have lived to whom it was a joy to give their life and strength for the betterment and happiness of others and for the honor of their country. I Wishing you all a splendid holiday, I am your Junior friend, Aunt Polly.

Julia Ward Howe

On sunny afternoons in summer the beach at Newport la crowded

with men, women and children

who are bathing or playing in the

sand.

Back in the 19th century, Mr. Ward had taken his daughter,

Julia, to Newport. Instead of play

ing in the water, or on the sand, little Julia was walking sedately

along with her hand In her father's. On her head was a thick green worsted veil. A queer substitute for a rubber bathing cap,

to be sure! Julia came from a very wealthy, aristrocratic family and she was not allowed to play as other children played. A passer-by remarked: "Little Julia has another freckle today." Julia was terribly worried. But Julia Ward Howe's aristocracy was not of the shallow, meaningless kind. She became a leader of women, and won fame because she deserved it. She is best remembered as author of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."

The Wind's Song

The chilly North Wind sings to me

Of icebergs in a frozen sea And big white polar bears that go So quietly across the snow.

The South Wind tells of lands that

lie Beneath a cloudless azure sky, Where rivers through large forests run, And crocodiles bask in the sun. The roving East Wind loves to sing Of camel caravans that bring Across the desert's sandy sea The scent and spice of Araby. But when the West Wind whispers low. Before the rosy sunset glow At eve has faded from the sky. He sings the children's lullaby. Christian Science Monitor.

led them through the butler's room and then to the door of Ruth's room.

Mr. Van Harritt knocked on the

door. Ruth came to the door. She was very much surprised to see

two men with Mr. Van Harritt. She

was so excited that she forgot to ask the men in but after a while she asked them to come In and

have a chair.

After a short pause Mr. Van Har

ritt said, "Miss Gilera I have brought two men that used to live in Germany as I did and they are my friends. This one Is Mr. Otis

Gentile. "This one is Mr. Adolph Sasperulu, Mr. Sasperulu this Is Miss Ruth Gilem." "Pleased to meet you, Mr. Sasperulu," said

Ruth. "Pleased to meet you. Miss Gilem," Baid Mr. Sasperulu. "Fine weather we are having," said Mr. Gentile. "Yes, it is," answered Ruth. The men did not stay very long

to wait until he came back, so Mr.

Gentile went to the door and knocked. When the butler came to the door Mr. Gentile said, "Is Miss Gil em In?" The butler said, "I do not know but I will see." So the butlei went to see. He was not gone very long until he came back and said, "Yos, she Is in." Mr. Gentile said "Tell her that Mr. Otis Gentile wants to see her."

" "When were you with them last?" asked the surprised mother. The girl thought but did not know. The mother Boon got word to tie tecaher and Immediately they began the search for the girls. This search lasted many hours. It was 11 p. m. but they had not found the girls. So they had to go home. Some of the girls went to look for them and one of them .found the trap door.
