1876 SENT TO FRANCE
FROM RICHMOND

Last Monday, Mrs. William Dud-
ley Foulke, who is the treasurer OF
our Richmond fund for the father
less children Of France, sent the
1876 for the twenty-four children
which have been adopted here in
Richmond over to the French auth
critics, so that those twenty -four
boys and girls can have food for
a whole year. And since Monday,
several others have offered to adopt
child, SO that now the number
from Richmond is about thirty
three.
The Palladium fund is growing
every day. but We do not have
enough yet to adopt little Adolphe,
Odette's little brother, who will
have his fifth birthday so soon. II
enough boys and girls would add
their contributions, however, we
might be able to make that the
big birthday present from Rich
naORd.

BOY SCOUTS LEFT CITY
IN GREAT STYLE

The Boy Scouts OF Troop 3 start
ed off on their fifty-six mile hike in
great style last Saturday morning.
1t was raining and everyone who
saw them start felt the greatest
admiration for the brave soldier
like fellows. for undertaking such
a long tramp down to their sum
mer camp in spite Of the weather.
But the people who were admir-
ing them SO much should have
followed them out to the edge of
town, for there the noble scouts
were met by two automobiles and
taken as far as Pennville, where
they made their camp for the night.
1t might be said, however, that
this part Of the journey was the
most difficult because of the road
being in such bad condition for
pulling the truck cart, and the boys
made the rest Of the journey in
the most seout-like manner.

SEND STAMPS TO
CHINESE CHILDREN

st. Mary's school has been saw
ing all the cancelled stamps the
children can find to send over to
the Chinese boys and girls in one
of the Chinese mission schools.
They had saved SO many that it
took a large suit box to hold all of
them, and In the collection were
stamps from Belgium, India, Japan,
Canada, and several European
countries. -e
The Chinese children are SO in
terested in our American stamps
that they use them to decorate
their rooms. And since the boys
and girls Of the st. Mary's school
have been sending their money
from the Holy Angels Society ever
to China to adopt some child who
was not cared for, those Richmond
children have felt like doing all
that they can for their Chinese
friends.
Besides saving the stamps, they
also save their tin fell, and last
Thursday when they sold it they
made almost q dollar from that
alone, so that. money was also
turned into the fund for the Chi
nese mission children.

GLEN MILLER Play
GROUNDS TOO MUDDY

All the children are protesting
against the new play grounds ut
Glen Miller being SO muddy. Since
they are SO popular that between
twenty-five and one hundred child
rem, and grown people too, are us
ing them all the time even in rainy
weather, the grass has been all
worn away, and the ground has
become 60 muddy that the water
stands in the foot prints under all
the swings, and especially under
the giant stride.
In going down the bumpy slide
the other day one OF the boys did
not notice how he was landing at
the bottom, and sat right down in
q puddle of muddy water, making
a decided splash. And 1t wasn't
half as funny to him as it was to
the boys who saw him do it.
The children wish that sawdust,
or better still, gravel. could be put
in these places. SO that their new
playground could be made ideal.

FIND NEST OF BABY
RABBITS IN BACK YARD

Many children of the West Side
were most interested in q nest of
baby rabbits which Mr.. FILTER
found in his back yard the first
of the week. The grass was rather
tall and in cutting 1t the nest was
discovered.
The little rabbits were scarce
ly larger than mice, and although
their eyes we're open, they scarce
ly had any hair at all.
There we're six of the little ba-
bies, all snugsled down close to-
gether, SO the children took them
over to another rabbits nest under
the car barns, and the little rabbits
seemed quite cehtented in their
new home.

APPRECIATES INTEREST

the Fatherless Children of France,
Mrs. William Dudley Foulhe wishes
to thank all those who Of their
own accord have offered to adept
French children, and have shown
SO much interest in the great work
Because the need is so great, those
who are in the work feel that the
cause is their own, and appreciate
fully the interest and help which
others give, spontaneously.

HIBBERD SCHOOL ADOPTS
LITTLE ADOLPHE

Little Adolphe, the brother of
our Odette, has been adopted by
the Hibberd school. This, no doubt
will be surprise even to the child
rem of that school, because all the
money was not turned in until
the last day of school, and, the
teachers themselves did not know
who the child would be until after
vacation began.
Adolphe now is four years old,
but will have his fifth birthday
on the 18th day Of July, SO that
all the children Of Hibberd school
who care to do so may bring their
birthday cards or any little gift
up to the Junior Office to be sent
over with the box which we al
ready started. Or those who wish
to send their own should address
the mail to Adolphe Negro, Col
lorgues Canton de st. Chaptes, De-
partment de Gard, France.
How much little Adolphe will
appreciate these cards or. little
gifts, you can imagine, by the way
that you would appreciate post
cards that came to you from
France. especially II your father
was dead. and you scarcely had
enought to eat.

new little adopted orphan, Odette,
are at last ON their way over to

many, they we're divided and sent
