CHAT

Just after 1 crossed the Georgia line I
spent the day with some dear cousins who
had four OF their own and two motherless
children. 1 had TO smile every time
thought of Mr.. Bach. and wondered IL
ne would have spent "a hours there and
would he have enjoyed every one Of them.
waking and sleeping. as 1 did.
Think OF six children. The oldest years
old. and the youngest 4 months old There
were two little girls years old All the
children call me sister. as they hear
their parents call me that Lucille and
jamie Bell had TO sit beside me or I'm
held a hand Of mine
Like all children they had to scrap
a little. and Lucille said "she isn't your
sister" Yes. she is replied jamie Bell.
We'll she is just your sister while
you are here. but she is our sister all
the time"
OF course. I had TO set matters straight.
and left them satisfied Those six chill
dren play in the dirt. but wash their
hands as soon as il is time to come in.
The baby is the only one who does not
wait on herself and all of them love and
pet her. II has been three years since
was there. and on that other visit l told
them a wonderful story Of Don't Care
and Do Care. When they heard 1 was
in Florida the two older ones immedt-
ately rejoiced over the idea Of again
hearing that story. Naturally, / had for
gotten H. as had made IL up as i went
along So I had them tell me all they
could remember and then all was smooth
selling.
Clair was going 10 give me a fish fry
IL I could have been there longer, and
you can imagine how il went against
the grain TO have 10 come away after
visit of only one day. But such things
come in all our lives and we must con-
sole ourselves with the thought that all
things work together for the good OF
those who love and serve God p,
am so glad that Penelope gave us
that letter on history. This past winter
found four OF US dissatisfied with our
memory OF the things that we should
know as well as our names so they came
20 the Y. W. c. A. every Saturday aft
erncon and for one hour we read. and
talked about what we had read i'm Myers

One high school girl tossed her head
and said: ''Pshaw. that was what I read
in school so did many OF u.s." re-
piled. but maybe IL Is fresher in your
mind than ours; so please tell me OF the
first record OF international law"
Perhaps some OF you may also
have FORGOTTEN II so will
quote It, The Amphictyonics. or League
Of Neighbors. were associations Of
number OF cities or tribes for the cele-
bration of religious rites at some shrine.
or for the protection OF some particular
temple. The Amphictyony was promi-
nent among these. This was a league OF
Il of the srrbtribes Of Heilas or Greece.
whose main object was the protection OF
the oracle at Delphi Another of its
purposes was to mitigate the cruelties of
war. The oath OF this league was, We
will not destroy any amphictyonic town
nor cut IL Of from running water. in war

Burton Kingland said a true thing
when he said. "a woman lacking in true
culture Is said to betray by her CONVERSE
ton q mind of narrow compass. bounded
on the north by her servants, on the
east by her children. on the south by her
ailments. and on the west by her
clothes"
have seen some bounded on all sides
by some one OF these. but I am retoieed
to get letters telling me that many
friends now take the topics discussed in
Our Household and let those others rest.
I am sure you viii envy me when I
tell you that ! had a nice visit with Mrs
FELTON,. She came TO Atlanta and spent
an hour with me. Before very long
hope 20 have the pleasure OF entertaining
Mrs Willing King. Mrs. Mary z. Bryan
and Mrs FELTON,. GeOrgia's three most
influential women
Just one thought. and I will be done:
