OF these many were aged granafathers
and mothers. to whom life held no
greater joy than to learn enough to
read their Bibles and the letters tnat
came from absent children and grand
children.
TOO much praise cannot be given
Mrs. Stewart and her corps OF Wiling
teachers for the splendid success they
have attained. L Kentucky does not
live UP to the slogan they have adopt
ed for her, it will assuredly not be
through lack of endeavor on their
part" said Mrs. James, "for the tales OF
some of the sacrifices these plucky
women have made to hell, their grown
up pupils border on real heroism."
Human interest and pathos tug hard
at the heart strings of the observer IN
these unique schools. where four gen
erations of one sturdy mountain family
have found places in the same school
room and compete for like honors along
equal lines. Father. mother and SIN
stalwart sons trudged over hills and
hollows, over bridgeless streams and
rugged roads, like scores of others. to
sit side by side and learn as little chill
dren the A B Cs that were to open
new world to them all. They learn, too,
centrated interest. Some of the older
ones have done marvellous things. For
example, one old woman of seventy
wrote a legible letter after eight

tendance.
Mrs. James also says that the schools
have been the means of creating Won
derful community interests, for these
people are taught to read from the
county paper, and they absorb all sorts
of interesting local news that estab-
fishes a bond between them and many
Of their distant neighbors.

Besides the three Rs spelling is
taught and old-fashioned spelling
matches are held frequently, while
brief drills are given in the essential
facts of language, history, geography.
culture.
Practically all of the patriotic and
civic organizations of the state have
heartily indorsed this movement. which
is carried on through the summer and
early fall until the weather becomes
too bad, four nights a week in the
county schoolhouses. Some of, the
teachers stay in the school for thirteen
hours on these days, so as not to dis
appoint their pupils in the evening
classes. while others travel long dis
tances; and one in particular walked
back and forth three miles twice each
day to give instruction to both schools,
that of the children and their parents.
Though cotton is not kentucky's main
product, Mrs. James is heartily in ia

help the sale of this southern com

keepers could now well return to the
methods of their mothers and grand
mothers and lay in their cotton by the
bolt this fall instead of in the spring.

IF each housekeeper would take
stock in her linen room and plan how

Notwithstanding the retrospective
mantle of charity which she throws over
the events of her exciting trip across
Europe from Russia to London, as
refugee, amid all the confusion of the
awe-inspiring mobilization period of the
war, she had many experiences which
she will never forget. But she insists
that she and all of her little party re-

Il do not believe that any American
refugees provided it vas known that
they were Americans, received anything
but the best possible treatment under
the existing conditions of excitement
and confusion declared Mrs. James. 1T
should be remembered, by the critically
inclined. that the people Of the various

"Our trip across the North sea was
one of anxiety to me because OF the
terrifying tales circulated regarding
the mines. However. fifty people,
mostly Americans. made the Journey
safely in little freighter supposed to
carry but thirty passengers, and loaded
10 the utmost limit with thousa nds of
pounds of butter. We lulled ourselves
into a feeling of comparative security

she was reminded"
That was only unique through the
precautions taken for our safety from
molestation, b. closed port holes and
absence of lights
Though she left Europe before the
lighting began she was impressed with
the splendid work the Red Cross is
doing. and says that she feels like
spending an hour or so daily trying to
help prepare their supplies, il only to
the extent of sewing on buttons.
Above all other interests that claim
her attention now. the projects Of up
lift work in Kentucky hold her closest
interest, for she is intensely loyal to
her home state, aiid is most enthusias-
tic over the growth of the moonlight
schools" which have taken such a hold
upon the people this fall
This movement has the support of
the best and most influential men and
women of the state and is said to be
the greatest progressive project the
state has ever known toward turning
out intelligent citizens and voters.
Senator James has offered a prize of
$50 to the teacher who has the best
school in his district, and Representa-
tive Langley offers a prize OF S25 to
the teacher who has the best school in
the tenth congressional district.
Referring to her interest III the
moonlight schools, Mrs James de-
clares that the official slogan. NO IL
literacy after 192O," is no idle boast, in
view of the progress made since the
work was started three years ago and
since continued SO energetically by
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, superintend-
ent of schools in Rowan county, with
whom the idea originated.
This activity in pushing this work
forward may have given rise to an ex-
aeeerated impression of the amount of
iIIiteracy in kentucky, which 1 should
like to see made clear" Mrs. James re-
marked, earnestly

of the question. Yet, strange and
sudden though the project was, the
hearts of all three were filled with,
happiness.
At half-past two the following
afternoon, John Mabie was looking
down int the face of his wife, and
Marjorie, clnging to his arm, was
looking up at her husband as only
a bride of five minutes duration can
look. And Mrs HalliweIl was crying
as only newly-made mother-in-law
can cry.

her.

They could not persuade her. She
hurried away, leaving the bride and
bridegroom alone outside the minis -

and among the hurTying pedestrians.
1t was the strangest marriage of
which either had ever dreamed.

The journey on the street car
seemed just as unreal as the cere-

cended the dark stairway together,
when they paused in front of Johns
apartments, they looked at each
other in unutterable wonder,
John locked the door and stood
perfectly still in amazement. So did
his wife. The little fiat was ablaze
with wax tapers. A sumptuous sup
per was spread upon the table, amid
silver and fine linen. The rooms were
decorated with flowers. And in the
center of the living room stood Cyrus

A feature this time which is going to delight others beside the music loV CTS, IS the petit ballet of solo dancers from the Boston opera house. These young ladies were selected for their re- markable beauty as we'll as for their terpsichorean ability. They will con tribute to the prog ram the bewitching Dance of the Hour from Gioconda and also portion of Copelia. This novelty has won unstinted praise in every city thus far visited.
 The musical part of the program will be composed as before of opera and concert. Eight big operatic num- bers, including the duet lfrom Forza del destino, made famous by Caraso and Scotu, the thrilling duet from Andre ( 1henier, and other equally well known ensemble numbers will make up the concert part. The opera will be an entire act from Martha sung com plete in English with costumes and scenery.
 Previous to the public sale of tickets mail orders will be received and filled carefully in the order of receipt. The same popular prices will rule. adv
