In the fall of 1866 while on . trip to Danvers, Mass, Mrs. Edward N. Andrews of S2 Winter street decided to stop in Boston for few days to visit friend whom she had met previously in Plainville. Her friend. Miss Minor, was. the music teacher in the Baldwin Place home, which was g, charity institution supported by the churches and she went there to see hef. During here brief stay at the home she encountered 8 rosy checked little girl of four years who was just recovering from case of smallpox. Being very fond of children and
 having none herself Mrs. Andrews be- came very attached to the child and helped care, for her until her com pleteF recovery. After having gone to Danvers and completed her visit, dur ing which time the sweet face of the child was. continually before her. she determined to visit the institution to see the little girl once again before she returned to her home. She did this and what occurred there many

 Little did she think at that time that the little girl would become the mother. and she the foster grand mother of two of the noted celebrities of Europe, one of whom has just been decorated with the cross of the Le- zion of Honor for his skill and bravery in the aviation corps and the other noted for her wonderful danc- ing:

 The American poet. Kenneth
 Proctor Littauer. who volunteered
 for service in the French Army
 for the duration of the war and
 is now a sergeant in the Amer

 in general orders as follows:

 duty and an excellent soldier;

 Hoolness. especially on February & 8, 1917. in the course of an en-
 gagement with a German ma-
 chine. Though his aeroplane
 was hit in several places. he com-
 pelled his adversary to retreat.
 
 At the time this was printed he was sergeant but since then he has been promoted and now holds | com mission, being first lieutenant. Be- sides having won signal recognition for his prowess on the field of battle, fame has been accorded to him by the French people and soldiers as a poet and he has earned the title of American Poet-Airman." He also writes for Leslie's weekly and the New York Telegram, his accounts of actual scenes at the fronts being vivid ly and clearly brought out in a pow crful manner. In one of his narra- lives he describes his first battle with German machine, during which, al- though his aeroplane was hit several times. he put his adversary to rout. In a letter written to Mrs. Andrews by his mother she says that he has rendered his resignation in the French army and has applied for a commis- sion with the American Army and ex- poets to return home soon.

The county commissioners ex-
planned that the cost of trestle
roadway would be $4,000, and
