THE CHILDREN'S ELE-
PLANT,

When I was eight years
of age I visited my sister
Hattie, who lived in Provi-
dence, Rhode Island.
One day my sister and I
thought we would call on
one of her friends. AS we
walked along the street
she slipped her hand into
her pocket for her pocket
book and it was not there.
She said there were several
dollars in it and she would
go back and look for it.
Being near Roger Williams
park, I walked to the en-.
trance and sat down on a
bench to wait her return.
AS she left me she said to
remain near by.
