her own cooking, washing, ironing
sewing, brings up family Of chill
dren to be useful members or So
ciety and finds time for intellectual
improvement. The Kansas towns
are dotted with such women"
We received three well written
letters from the Kismet school last
week. They were written by Lola
Mutt and Ruby and Bonny KIRK.
They told us they had a splendid
school this year and enjoyed their
lessons very much. They are going
to have a Thanksgiving program and
invited us to come and have a good
time with them. Many thanks, little
friends, for your kind invitation.
We hope we can arrange matters so
we can go. These little girls, II we
remember rightly, each made an
apron for the Liberal Fair. They
were entered too late to compete for
the prize. They werO beautifully
made and many compliments were
heard regarding them The Kismet
boys and girls are all right
