about her, individually and collectively. There is probably not a more interesting study to be found anywhere than the southern girl who shakes her self loose from ti. Iitions and creates a home life in a great city. Just why she is r5 garded in this light. or why there seems to be glamor about her as if she was entirely a person other than herself, there is surely no practicable reason, but nevertheless she is talked of, written of and interviewed.
 The advantage of a number of young women keeping house together in the flats in New York has become so popular year after year that many of the young women from the south who are there for study, have adopted this mode of living. It lends itself admirably to economy and at the same time creates a home atmosphere that could not possibly be secured otherwise. Among the southern girls in New York Is Miss Ethel Houston, who is at present spending vacation with her family in Bir- mingham. She talked charmingiy a few mornings ago of her aspirations and the Bohemian side of life in Gay Gotham. When I decided to go to New York, which was about four years ago." she said, "I had apartments in a boarding house, but as I began making friends among the young women who, like myself, were in ANC" iOih IOl oluuy, d AuHipSi Ol thCiAA who were housekeeping in flat prevailed upon me to join them. They assured me that the joys of housekeeping in Bohemia would compensate for any inconvenience that I might be forced to put up with. Finally, I had my belongings sent around and was soon initiated into the Bohemian household.
 There are nine of us who are keeping house together. and who indeed are study ing so hard that there is not much time for anything else, but on holidays we make up for lost time and have delightful little dinners just among ourselves
 Thanksgiving is a great occasion for us. Last Thanksgiving's day was a par tcuarly happy one, and one of the girls wrote 1t up into storiette which she de- clared she would send to a magazine, but the rest of us crushed her ambition at once. There came very frequently to our fiat newspaper people who insisted on writing something about us, and there was ore woman who was rather persistent about 1t, considering our own reluctance in the matter.

As the Indians broke rank and began to lay aside gorgeous feathers and blankets, one overly assidious young lady approach ed with camera in full aim.

The State through some of its

grave mistake in asking foreign
aid for the few hundreds quaran-

the citizens of these two towns
were possessed of public spirit

their respective needy, But since
they do not care toturn loose any

An lrishman, hoe, and a patch of
potatoes nearly always go together,
unless the bugs have made away with
the potatoes. But in this case the
bugs had been kept away, goodness
knows how, surely notify the Irishman,
and he was hoeing industriously. It was
evident that he planted the potatoes for
the patch was close by a large elm tree
in whose shade he found it necessary
to rest about every ten minutes, think
ing doubtless that when it was one
hundred and one in the sun there
ought to be at least one in the shade.
AS the day advanced and grew hotter,
his moments of rest became longer,
and he finally fell asleep. As he slept
and dreamed that his patch of potatoes
was all hoed and hilled up, and even
dug and put in the cellar bin, if not
cooked md pared ready to eat, boy
very different from most boys, came
past, where he came from or where he
was going know not, nor care. AS
he was passing he stopped and looked
first at the weedy potato patch, then
at the sleeping Irishman. Suddenly a
very queer thought came to that very
queer boy, and Immediately he began
to act accordingly. He picked up the
hoe and began to work. In few min
utes the patch looked quite respect
able. Then he laid the hoe where he
found it and went on. When the
Irishman awoke to find his potatoes
all hoed he must have thought he had
done it in his sleep, and smiled with
satisfaction at the result of his DAYS
potato patch work. And now, little
friends, who do you think played the
hero's part in this story? For my part
I think the boy did,,

A Patchwork Story.
By PAUL W. MERRILL.
9th Grade

An old Irishman and his wife lived
Just outside the village Of Rock tosh in
g cottage with thatc he'd roof IT is
said that Irishmen like pigs, 80 this
family had their pig but they did not
keep it in the parlor as it is said some
do. After supper the old man most
always hoed in patch Of potatoes
that he owned He liked to see things
shine so he always kept his hoe clean
and bright. All the children around
there were afraid Of them and called
them mean and stingy except a boy
and girl that lived next door. This
boy and girl thought them very nice
which they really were. The boy and
girl, Edward and Mary we will call
them, often went to visit the old cou-
pie next door. they had donkey
which they let Edward ride whenever
hewanted to. Mary had been to timid
to get on it before bit one evening
when the Irishman as hoeing she
thought she would like to try to ride.
The donkey had never thrown Ed
ward off but Mary had not gone ten
feet before. she went over it's head.
The reflection of the bright hoe hap
pened to fall upon the donkey's eyes
and frightened him so that he threw
her off. 1t did not hurt her though
and.she got up and stoutly> declared
she would never try to ride that don
key again.. But pretty soon she took
that back and tried once more, this
time with better success. Soon she
liked to ride him as we'll as her brother
did, since he never tried to throw her
off again.
