Dear Aunt Laurie:
The topic you gave reminds me of the
fleet that was here last year.
Il wanted very much to go, because
I never saw any warships before, SO
l thought 1 would ask my mother If
/ could go.
We had a grocery there, and mother
just went to the register and gave
me 70 cents and l went about / o'clock.
| took the car as far as the Pacific
Electric depot and then got off and
boarded the San Pedro car.
AS took my seat a sailor came and
sat by me and then we began to talk.
He said he was a machinist on the
Vermont.
AS we went along We could see acres
of Strawberries and fruit trees, and
further along was some Mexican
houses. Their houses are not like ours,
but they were of one-story and very
long. The men were chopping wood
while the women were washing clothes.
When we got to San Pedro it was
after O'Clock and this sailor took me
right to his launch, where there was
lots of other sailors.
We got on and away We went The
battleships were about mile from
shore, and it didn't seem more than
ten minutes when we were there. We
came right by the steps and we walked
up stairs until we got on deck.
The FIRST thing I got my eye on
was those nice shining guns and then
this sailor introduced me to some more
sailors Then he began to show me
the things on battleship. He showed
me how the gun works and lost OF.
things that interested me. -

Girls who do things, the things which
really count, are the characters in a
strong and decidedly inspiring book,
1.-THE Garden of Girls" by Marian A.
Hilton. The book tells the story of two
girls who are left to their own devices
and own resources, and the manner in
which they conduct their lives, their
financial affairs and their helpful char
tiles. There is, Of course, a suggestion
that their luck is almost better than
most girls could hope to find If placed
in the same environment, but on the
other hand the girls pay more atten-
tion to the main chance than the ave-
rage girl would do, and this may ac-
count for their rather extraordinary
good fortune in all their business ven
lures.
The best part of the story is found
in the depicting of sisterly affection be-
tween Agnes and Dorothy Anger, the
orphaned heroines Of the story. The
confidence and trust and the loyalty
which these girls show is only too rare
in modern family life and it is trait
which is delightful as it is incorpora-
ted in this story.
There is sufficient romance of one
sort and another to make the story in
teresting, and the whole tale is so clean
and upright in it's tone that it will be
entirely safe to put in the hands of all
young re ders.
