TO LHw. CIRCLES
Greeting: You often ask what there is for
you TO do. Of course, you can arrange pro-
grams Of patriotic song aud story. You can re-
fresh your souls with social intercourse with
those who are pledged TO tho same high cause
of Progress and Patriotism.
But what is required of you is organization
for some definite purpose; and in what more
beautiful work could you engage ia than that
of sending flags to the school children IN the
South. many of whom have never set eyes on
the starry banner, the hope OF the coming mil
lions.

Secretary Seaman, in com aeniing upon the
presentation of the new Luyal Home Workers
pin to prominent official representatives OF st.
Paul. IN recognition of courtesies extended the
L.H.W- hopes to see the custom continue,
though practiced rarely. the pin only to he
conferred when merted by the person upon
whom conferred. He says:
II think such presentations should be termed
decorating the recipient, so that it would re-
vive impressions Of like practice in the days
of chivalry. when, because of some knightly
deed special honor, expressed throngh the
bestowal Of some token, was publicly recognized.
-Thus the bes;owxl or tho Loyal Home
Workers pin would be recognition upon the
part of the LH.W. Of some service performed
on their behalf by the recipients who also
might be placed on the honorary-roll Of tho
Association"
