works on farm, she is poor.
These children have written to you, little
children of America. You have sent them
money, the poor Mamma has been able to give
them little more to eat, has been able to buy
them warm clothing and thick shoes for the
winter, they can come to school now.
"You, little brothers, have felt sorry for us,
we love you and we hope that the war will
never take away from you your papas.
IF that should happen, we should remember
your goodness and we would send to you IN
turn the expression of our great affection.
"ALBERTINE FAIVRE."
The whole story is here-the pitiful need of
the orphans of France; what it means to them
when the children of America share with these
cold and hungry little ones their own album
dance, and the sympathy, love and gratitude
that will knit together in future years the cltl-
zens of the great sister republics.
Albertine is eight years old. This, literally
translated, and otherwise exactly as she wrote
it, is a composition in the form of a letter to
an American child who has been helping the
children of France
The Minister Of Public instruction ordered
that, on one specified day, every public school
teacher in France should direct the children
to write their compositions in the form of let
tiers to the children of America. Some Of the
letters were sent here. They are not mag
mary compositions Each child writes out of
it's own experience or that of neighbor.
They are rather heart wrenching, these little
compositions in crude, childish language. Small
persons of eight or Whereabouts should not
write from personal knowledge of poverty and
death. But il they must know, il is well also
to know that there is helpful loving kindness
in the world.
Do you remember the story, "Out of the
Heart Of France" that we published in The
Tribune Institute pages for October 20. 1879

Two eighteenth century Italian arm chairs in
polychrome, upholstered in an old Italian tapes
try whose predominating color was the blue
green of the birds, and pair of yellow painted
Venetian conmodes, completed the list. These
old commodes were especially characteristic
for they had hoofs on the legs. These hoofs are
found on almost every table and chair of the
period and to my mind are the one ugly feature
OF an otherwise lovely style of furniture.

THE FATF1ERLESS CHILDREN OF FRANCE

that grows out of the experience of twelve
year-old Marie Corriefas
Dear Little Comrade:
Il do not know YOU but know that you are
good since you have pity for the orphans of
France and wish to thank you. Our school
mistress has told us about you. She has told
us that you have promised to give us from
your savings 80 centimes q day; for US you
will deprive yourselves of your sweetmeats.
How can express our gratitude?
Little far away friend, without ever having
seen you, without even knowing your name,
your generous act makes me feel your good
ness. 1t seems to me that in the geography
lessons / shall study your country with more
pleasure, now that | know of your help and
that of your Comrades.
I'VE have at our school an orphan, years
old. His papa was killed few months ago
and we all pity him because he is so unhappy.
1t might happen to me that also should be-
come an orphan. My papa has been in the
trenches since the beginning of the war; at
present he is in the department of the Somme
and he may be killed at any moment.
MY sorrow would then seem to me less
great if l had the comfort of your tender af
lection.
"Al the children of France, you may be sure
will never forget the children of America who
console, help and love those whose papas are
more"
In France there are 10000 names of orphan
children who need help. We have only received
half. And out of that half only one-sixth

If the soldiers of France had done only one
