During Mrs. w. II. Holidays recent
trip to Denver, she went to Boulder
by special appointment to confer with
Miss George Faulkner, The Chicago
story lady" Mrs. Holiday was the
leader in the movement which gave
the children OF Laramie a series OF
story hours at the Carnegie library
last winter n the course, which was
the first eve given in Wyoming, was
a marvellous success from beginning
to end. No subject is claiming the at
tention today of progress educators
and parents more than the power Of
the story in shaping the character Of
a child. Miss Faulkner has made a
great success in this line and she de-.
livered a series Of addresses before
the Boulder Chautauqua to to present
the subject to its patrons in a correct
and practical way. Mrs. Holiday
found her surrounded by q great audi
ence OF both children and adults, who
literally drank in her words as she
told stories, her repertoire including
favorites old and new. Seeing and
hearing her thus 1t was easy to be-
lieve all which has been told of her
grea work in the slums of Chicago.
where. in the summer schools and pub
lie play grounds children from dark
streets and dismal alleys crowd about
her, forgetting dingy tenements and
squalid lives in her marvellous delinea-
ton of storyland. Through these tales
the desire for good literature is
awakened and in some cities library
books, which are eagerly received, are
given out in connection with the work.
Miss Faulkner has labored along wide
ly divergent lines and was for a time
official story teller IN the Chicago
schools, going regularly from room to
room to amuse and instruct the child
rem. One cas- she was employed by
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, and told patriotic stories to
groups of children in connection with
settlement work. At present she is
educating young and old In Chautau-
qua schools, her repertoire including
folk and fairy tales, fables, historical,
science. mythical, legendary and mod
ern stories and folk lore Of all ma
tions. Mrs. Holiday added greatly to
