Washington, D. c., Sept. 21.-The
first girl page in congress-that's the
goal Of Cecilia Martin, fourteen-year-
old Washington lassie, backed for the
job by Miss Jeanette Rankin, first
woman congressman, and Representa-
tive Clyde Kelly, representing the dis
trict including Cecilia's former home,
Swissvale, Pa.
Even If circumstances prevent &C.
ella from attaining this ambition, she
had already qualified as the youngest
and sharpest little lobbyist Washing
ton ever Jaw. She has amazed house
office building employees with her
shrewdness and energy in lining up
support.
There's a woman in congress now"
Cecilia says, IAN there'll soon be
more. So why not girl pages? The
women congressman will need them.
IT want to study law later, and I
think the house job will help me a
lot"
Does Cecilia understand the perils
Of politics and is she fitted to cope
with them? Listen:
Miss Rankin has told me she
would do all she could, but she's a
Republican and can't help much when
the Democrats are in control. But Mr..
Kelly is a Democrat"

It was an old, old, old lady,
And q boy that was half past three:
And the way that they played to-
gether
Was beautiful to see.
She couldn't go running and jumping,
Fol he was, a thin little fellow, !
With a thin little twisted knee.
They sat in the yellow twilight,
Out under the maple tree;
And the game they played I'll tell you,
Just as 1t was told to me.
It was hide and go seek they were
playing,
Though you'd never have known it
With an old, old, old, old lady
And the boy with the twisted knee.
The boy would bend his face down
On his one little sound right knee,
And he'd guess where she was hiding,
In guesses one, two, three.
"You are in the china closet!"
He would cry and laugh with glee-
It wasn't the china closet,
But he still had two and three.
You are. up in papa's bedroom.
In the chest with the queer old

warmer;
But you are not quite right" said

Where mammals things used to be
So 1t must. be the clothespress

And he found her with his three.
Then she covered her face with her
fingers,
That, were, wrinkled and white and
wee,
And she guessed where me boy was
hiding,
with one and 4 two and 4 three.
And they eve had stirred from their
places,
Right under the maple tree
This old, old, old. old lady.
And the boy with the. lame little
This dear, dear. dear old lady,
And 7 boy who was half past

Mother Beaver. "And now, Bushy,

dishes in that and carry them safely"
