Two Young Editors.

William Kemeys and Emily Swing,
who are about u years old, are the
youngest editors in Chicago. Their
paper is The Penny Post. issued every
Saturday in the suburb of Bryn Mawr
William Kemeys is the son of Edward
Keneys. the sculptor, Emily Swing
is Williams cousin. These children
are not only the editors of The Penny
Post. they are also its reporters, edi-
torial writers. compositors, pressmen
and circulators. They write the paper
and print it. and then either send Or
carry it to 63 subscribers. The first
eight numbers were laboriously writ

too much work, so with what money
they had saved the children bought a
lot of second hand type and other
printers appurtenances and are now
getting out their paper in the most
approved fashion. The Penny Post has
wide circulation. 1t goes to five or
six different states and one copy to

The Best Poets for Girls to Read.

Il believe. my dear girl, every good
poem you read is going to make better
what would he called the ideal side of
your nature, and is going to make you
appreciate what is really melody in
words. You know the old books of
poetry, and it seems to me that there
is not much that is thoroughly good
among the new except those written by
the poet of our time, Rudyard Kiplins.
You can arrange long list of the older
poets in whom you will find pleasura.
Naturally begin with Shakespeare. and
then come down, not very far. to the
two Brownings, then to some parts IT
Byron. then to that unhappy boy. John
Keats. then to Pope, then to some
parts of Shelley, then to Tennyson,
and, looking fog the great souls right
in our own home, you will meet and
greet Aldrich. the gentle: Sydney
Lanier. the musician; Poe, the mystic:
and. best OF all for every girl. Long

This Seasons Skirts.

Fashion says double skirts must and
shall be worn. Women who have many
gowns will doubtless affect this style,
as they do all innovations in dress. but
the masses will cling to the skirts that
take on various kinds of trimming.
which merely simulate an overdress.
Some have jaunty hitch-up on one
side. which shows panel of some con-
tfastlng color or material that is APP
pied to the lining of the skirt. Others
nave foot-triinming, either frilly or
hatly made, that runs four or five
inches up on the skirt-ining; then the
outside is made shorter and falls Just
over or TO meet this trimming. Panels
OF material or color contrasting to that
OF the gown are used at the front and
sides, running the entire length of the
skirt. Gowns trimmed with a one-sided
effect have always style of their own.

RED CROSS WORK
Not Now Necessary in the Care Of Our
Sick Soldiers.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The following let
ter from the surgeon general of the army
was written in reply to one sent to the
President by A. E. Orr, vice chairman of
the Red Cross relief committee:
II have received the copy of your letter
to the President. In answer to your ques-
ton as to why the Intervention of the
Red Cross relief committee should be
longer needed. and why the government
does not see to it that its own sick are
provided for l would say:
THE emergencies of the war made the
assistance of relief associations most val
liable, Notwithstanding the fact that it is
the intention of the government to pro-
vide literally for the care of sick soldiers.
But, as you know, with ample means and
good intentions, supplies cannot always
be provided at the proper place and time
to meet an emergency Moreover, at the
outset of the war, the arrangements made
for providing light diet for the sick.
which had proved satisfactory in time Of
peace. We're inadequate and the condi-
lions which prevailed i'll our camps of in
struction and among troops engaged in
active operations.
For this reason the presence of Red
Cross agents with their abundant sup
plies of delicacies for the sick. has been
of inestimable value. But provision was
made by general order, published Aug.
10, &C. o. 1l6), by which surgeons in
charge of hospitals. general division or
regimental, are enabled to draw 60 cents
per day for each sick enlisted man of the
army. in lieu of his regular ration. Up
to that time the communication value of
ration was only 80 cents

ply food for the sick in hospital This is
obtained from the commissary depart
ment or by purchase wherever it can be
procured / enclose herewith a list show
ing the articles which can be purchased
