LITTLE GIRL VISITS
HER GRANDMOTHER

Dear Editor:
Am going to write and tell the
Juniors what good visit had
up to my grandma's two weeks
ago. My two little cousins, Russell
and Grace Thomas, from near New
Castle were there and such a
good time as we had!
Grandma has two cats, one is
blue and white spotted and the
other one is real black Grace and
l dressed them up like dolls but
they didn't like it, They mewed
and scratched and tried to get
away but we held on to them. The
old black cat has one foot off; he

ter and it cut his foot off.
We were having so much fun I'm.
til some bad boys came and they
got to teasing us, and one of them
put woody worm down Russells
back and he didn't think that felt
very good so we were afraid to
go out doors any more, so then it
was time for me to go home and
how l hated to go!-Helen Will

FISHERMAN'S DAUGHTER

fisherman and his wife. They did
not have any children but they

and it was little girl When she

Elizabeth Amsden. who will be
the prima donna in I'll Trovatore''
today, went fishing yesterday.
Fishing" said the opera star, sis
one of the rarest privileges of man
kind. What care I to be a prima
donna on my day off? l prefer to
fish"
1t was a cold day, but that made
no difference-fish are hungrier in
cold weather. Nine. Amsden put
on an overcoat as thick as steam
er rug and went forth with her rod
and tackle.
"See this split bamboo rod" she
said. proudly. "Some people say l
have extraordinary luck in fishing,
but my luck is mostly having this
rod. With it couldn't help but
catch fish. This rod has caught
more big bass, speckIed trout and
pickerel than you could eat.

the most cheerful tone she could,
"Oh no. am used to It."
"What a pretty dress you have.
uh--what is your name? l might
as well tell you now, mine is Alicia

"Mine is Arabella"
what pretty name. It just suits
you--and your dress, Do you know
why the tailors positively refuse to
make dresses for tourists? l have
been wanting one for ever since l
have been here and would pay
almost anything to get one. I"
Just then the great clock rang six
times, and both of the girls had to
so to supper but before they parted
they promised to meet at the same
place the next day.
That night Arabella thought of a
plan. The more that she thought
of 1t the more restless she became.
When she went to meet her
American friend the next afternoon
she had a large bundle.
what in the world?" exclaimed
Alicia as Arabella came in sight.
"You said yesterday you wanted
to buy Turkish dress, didn't you?
Suppose l give you whole Turk
ish costume, and you give me an
American costume in exchange"
ooh, just the thing! Come to my
hotel and will let you choose what
ever you please"
The two girls ran all the way to
the hotel carrying the bundle be-
tween them. After Arabella had
opened her package, which contain
ed about fifteen dresses, slippers
and wells and showed them to her
friend who was dumfounded at the
glittering silks, satins, and shining
gold laces, Alicia said, ooh don't
you want to sell them all? I will
pay almost anything for them"
But they are pretty expensive"
said Arabella, ''for l remember
mother paid fifty dollars apiece for
them"
"Wait a minute while I get father,
l think he is in the lobby" and be-
fore Arabella could protest, Alicia
was out of the room and half way
down the stairs.
She soon retuEned with an elder
ly looking gentleman who smilingly
looked at the dresses and readily
agreed to pay eight hundred dollars
for the lot.
While he was gone to get the
money, Alicia fitted out our little
merchant in q chic American out
fit.
AS soon as Arabella received the
money she went to the ocean liner
office and bought ticket to Amer
lea on the steamer Adventure" and
left that very evening.
After pleasant voyage she ar
rived in New York and secured

Arabella, the Turkish Girl

Arabella was a little Turkish girl
who lived In Constantinople. She
'was allowed to play with the other
children until she was twelve years
old. then her mother called her to
her apartment and said. "Arabella.
you are old enough now to lay aside
your playthings and become an in
dustrious young lady"
Arabella knew what this meant.
1t meant being shut up in her rooms
all day long and never allowed out
of the house without veil over her
face.
II am going to town this after
noon," continued her mother, "and
get you some new clothes for you
arc to be dressed very differently
now. Meanwhile you may do any
thing you like. for this ought to be
the happiest time of your life"
Arabella was very far from being
happy. She ran to her room and
threw herself on the bed, sobbing as
Il her heart would break.
For. the next few days Arabella
vas surrounded by silks and satins
Ind laces, while the whole house
rang with the clipping of shears.
After Arabella's little apartment
had been furnished with its coy
lounges. silken cushions and book
cases which her father gave her,
she began to like her new life.
Arabella was very we'll educated
for q Turkish girl. She knew q
great deal about America and some
Of the American language because
her father made several trips there
each year He was a very rich
merchant and whenever he could
find time he would teach Arabella,
who was his only child.
But Arabella grew restless as the
days went by, and she longed to be
with her former playmates, whose
happy, senseless talk and laughter
Hoated through the high windows of
her room as they played many IA
miliar games.
One day while she was out walk
Ing, her face heavily yelled, she met
. little American girl. The girl
whose name happened to be Alicia
Evans, timidly took Arabella's hand
and they walked about q block in
silence. Finally Arabella said, Are
you an Americana"
The American girl gave a little
start and asked In surprised voice,
"Can you speak English"
"A little, my father taught me-"
"Oh goody! Then we can have
Just grand times together, can't
WEI. MY, but isn't it hot with that
veil on?"
A sad look came over Arabella's
face which Alicia could not see.
But the Turkish girl answered in

rooms in one of the large hotels.
Many sleepless nighV was spent
worrying about the future, because
when Arabella had been In Amer
lea two weeks she was almost with
out money, and before she knew it
she was wishing heself back in
Turkey.
The weather was beginning to get
4, cold and so was Arabella, for she
was soon penniless and therefore
had to leave the hotel and wander
about in the streets. She strayed
here and there for three days with
out food and shelter and on the
fourth day small Snow flakes began
to fall and she huddled her small
summer coat around her as best
she could. No one seemed to notice
her. Oh no! New York was busy
city and 1t did not have time to
pity and take care of little Turk
ish girl.
Arabella suddenly came to stop,
for coming towards her was her
| father! She tried to run to him, but
alas, it was only vision. For a
| moment the world seemed to swim
around and around, and then every
thing grew dark.
The next thing Arabella knew
was that she was in little white
room and her father was bending
over her bed. 1t was not vision

his hand and it was really flesh and
blood.
AS soon as she was strong enough
she told her father how she happen
ed to be in America.
well, l hardly blame you," said
her father with tears in his eyes.
~ guess we must have started for
America about the same time, be-
cause when I went home to say
goodbye you were not there. To

lieve it was you but you had some
rings on that l had given you, and
you really did look like my Ara
bella I thought was back in Tur-
key"
When the doctor said she could
go home in a few days Arabella
wondered If she was going all the
way back to Turkey. She asked
her father but all he said was,
wait and see, my dear"
Her father brought her a whole
new outfit and as soon as the doc
tor gave his consent, Arabella was
dressed and her father led her
down the halls of the hospital to
taxi which was waiting for them
The automobile carried them past
the great sky-scrapers, past the
noise of the city streets, into the
quiet country and stopped in front
of a pretty stone cottage which was
surrounded by enormous pine trees.
Arabella was so surprised she
didn't know what to do, SO she
meekly followed her father up the
walk. When he opened the door,
who should be standing there to
meet her but her mother in Ameri-
can clothes.
After her father explained to her
that she was now real American
girl and that they were to live here
always, she was so happy she threw
her arms around her parents and
Rugged them as hard as was pos
sible. while two big tears of joy
ran down her cheeks.
