MISS HELEN TAFT
ORGANIZES CORPS
OF CAMPFIRE GIRLS
Presidents Daughter Goes
to Noel House in Rain
to Start Work.

Washngton's first corps of CAmpfire
Girls came formally into being at Noel
House yesterday afternoon and a score
of young girls are now proudly referr-
ing to Miss Helen Taft, daughter Of
the President, as their leader. Miss
Taft is officially known as a torChbear-
er.
An advance copy of the manual Of the
Campfire Girls had been put in Miss
Taft's hands prior to the first meeting,
so that she was able to explain to the
girls present some of the details OF
the organizations object, which is to
train girls in first aid work and in
healthful and economical modes of liv-
ing.
A White House motor car bore Miss
Taft to Noel House, which is located at
1868 Kramer street northeast. She
reached the settlement house at $50 in
the midst OF driving rain and re-
mained half an hour talking to her fu-
tire charges who are girls from ten years
up.
An the girls who regularly attend
Noel House exercises and play in it's
gymnasium are eager to enroll in the
particular corps which Miss Taft now
heads, but as the number of girls in
corps Is limited to twenty by the
rules of the organization some must
nerforce be disappointed. Neither Miss
Taft, A. +. Garmhausen, who is the
rev resident director of Noel House,
nor any others of those interested in
the project has yet been able to figure
out way to solve this problem. Lots
may be drawn as the only method of
avoiding some disappointment and
heartburning.
Miss Taft will not work entirely alone
in conducting the Noel House Campfire
for Miss SophY Stanton, Miss Mary
Winslow, and Miss Ludema Sayre, of
the Y. NJ. c. A, will aid in conducting

and in a few minutes they were walk
ing with him over the hill to his cave.
''We'll just stop here ii minute" said
he as they came to his nome, and get
something nice to eat before we go to
the pond"
And in walked the silly goose and
hen, and that was the last that was
ever seen or heard of them; a few
feathers were all that was left to tell
of their foolishness.
But the wise old goose the next morn
ing told the others OF Mr.. Foxs visit
and how she had tried to warn the
silly goose and hen, and they all shook
their heads and looked in the direction
of Mr.. FoX's home.
1t was not long after that the farmer
found Mr. Fox one morning fast in q
trap he had set for him, and the old
wise goose walked at a safe distance
from Mr. Fox and said: You are
caught at last, I see. Even an old
granny like me Is wiser than the sly
Mr.. Fox at times, 1t seems, and you
will not have a chance to get any more

Milady's boots show a variety of styles
this year. Little tricks in the setting
Of the buttons, stitching ornamentations,
or combinations of leather have been
used to make item unusually chic. An
Eighth street store, near Market place,
is showing some very stunning little
boots for the early spring suits. These

The collar is the Dutch cut that goes

touch to the dark dress that too plainly
suggests winter. Though these collars
are one of new styles, they are marked
very reasonably, only % cents set.
