Christmas tree. When we went
into our hotel there was a big fire
in the drawing-room and a big
Christmas tree for us, with flow
ers no end, in every room, and lots
of other little Christmas trees be-
sides. asked papa where they
came from, and he told me that
many of the boys and girls in Ber-
lin who were going to be my
friends had sent them to me and to
my mother as a greeting.
THAT winter had ever so many
friends, and we had fun playing
ship. l usually was the captain.
We had some good SNOWFALL fights,
too, out in Thiengarten, which is
one of the largest parks in the
world, bigger than the Bots de
Boulogne, where ! used to play
with Eleanor in Paris. You see
have little frieQds in New York,
and Washington, and Richmond,
and in England and Germany and
France. Sometimes we played in
one language and sometimes an
other. In Berlin most of my play
mates were little counts and
princes, because my papa and
mama had known their papas and
mamas. a long time, and they
wished to make it pleasant for us.
My little brother, Hadley, wore a
blue knitted suit that winter, all
one piece from his head to his
heels, and one day Princess August
Wilhelm called him her "Blue
Bear" and then everyone else be-
gan to call him that too.
The page at the entrance of our
suite, Kurt, made me a wonderful
cardboard manger with a Christ
child and sheep, with an electric
system that lighted it all up when
/ touched button. Countess Mar
jorfe and her brother Hans were
my special chums, and they and
the other boys and girls always
wanted me to teach them good
American games.
But it was not all play. I studied
hard with my governess and at the
Royal Gymnasium. And often and
often l stood on the balcony and
watched the tired troops march and
march past, going or coming, be-
tween Berlin and the fighting
front. l saw the emperor and the
empress, and,-well everybody.
But the most interesting big friend
l had was not a soldier or a states
man at all, but a sea captain, the
first to cross the Atlantic in a sub
marine. not to fight, but to trade
with their American friends.
Zone night, when was getting
ready for bed, and went in to say
goodnight, 1 found a gentleman in
the drawing-room waiting for papa.
1t was Captain Koenig. l had just
been reading about how he had
commanded the Deutschland and
then about one time how he ran
the nose of his submarine into the
mud. / had been wondering how
he ever got.his submarine out of
the mud again; SO asked him, and
he told me all about it before l
went to bed.
Then one day they told me that
war was declared between Ger
many and America, and that we'd

eve came home on the steamer
"Bergensfiord" from Christiana,
that Is city from which the old
Viking ships used to sail. My old
gOverness had to stay in Germany,
so l had to have a new one and
she was Swedish. I liked her, but
she talked so amusingly.
When we left Christiana, our.
ship went so slowly 1t was like
creeping, up between the islands
toward the Arctic circle, so that
we would avoid all mines and sub.
marines, and then we went along
close by Iceland. We sometimes
wore the life-belts and everyone
knew how dangerous the trip was,
but people weren't as excited as
they We're when we came back
from England in 1914.
Zone day we saw boat drifting
not very far off, SO the captain had
the steamer tack towards it, and
when we came close, we found that
poor fisherman was lying in the
bottom of the little fishing dory all
alone, as though he were dead. Our
sailors were SO sorry for him that
they brought the whole dory up
aboard our ship, and then gave the
old fisherman hot coffee, and
worked with him, until finally he
opened his eyes and looked around.
He said he had been out there
alone, drifting around for over five
days without anything more to eat,
and that he might have died if they
had not picked him up. And wasn't
it interesting that there was rain
bow that evening and the poor
fisherman sailed right under it to
our ship?
I'VE came past Halifax, and
there saw the Canadian troop
ships, with all the Canadian sol
diers, but we did not stay there
very long.
Nov am going to school back
home in New York. We live ON
Drive, where there are
always six or a dozen war ships
and cruisers of different nations
right in front Of the house. There
is even an Argentine war-ship in
the river now, and l am glad to be
home again in America because I
like ships the best of anything,
and | can see so many interesting
ones here. had crossed the ocean
six times before l was seven years
old, but it's not much fun in war
time.

boy would send me a paw-paw.
There are lots of paw-paw bushes
on the Liberty pike, but, this year,
no paw-paws! l will trade him
some butter-nuts which ! gathered
last month around our summer
home in New Hampshire. We have
loads. Papa certainly knows how
to find out nut-trees. He says he
learned to smell them in Streets
Thicket and around Thistle
thwaite's Pond and Boyce's Wood.

said, 1t Is surely to be go them
pAnd papa answered, Yes, I'm
afraid it is I didn't know what it
was going to mean then, but do
now. 1t was war.
1T was not very long then until
we left Sharpstone Chat was the
name of our house,, and went to
London, where we. lived within a
block Of our Embassy. Papa used
to take me over there with him
sometimes and everyone seemed so
busy and hurried Many troops
were passing all the time as they
were leaving yor the 'front.'. and
they had many horses. too. l liked
to watch them. l could not under
stand why the horses had to go to
war also.
Zone day at Buckingham, l re-
member there was an eclipse of the
sun, and we all were out in the
garden looking at it with smoked
glass when queer little man with
long beard came up and asked to
see 1t too. Papa told me after
wards that he was the Duke of
Norfolk, and he was one of the
greatest noblemen of all England.
The King was in the window.
I'm October we started home,
back to America, and the trip was
no vi
going to De torpedoed any minute,
and we kept the lifebelts on a
good deal of the time. Nobody
knew what to expect. All the lights
were kept out all the time, and
even the portfolios were painted
black. The smoke-stacks all had
been taken down except one, and
everything was SO queer and ex-
citing.
1--WE staid in America for over a
year and then papa was sent over
to Germany; so we went over too,
soon after. We we're on the ship
with Mr.. Gerard, and he was great
fun. Our ship was called the
Christmas ship. for it had presents
for many people in Norway and
Sweden and Belgium. After we
stopped at the Orkney Islands and
the ship had been searched by the
English officers, and we steamed
on north again, little Christmas
trees were put on the top Of every
mast, and then when we landed in
Copenhagen there we're thousands
and thousands of People there to
meet us, but / didn't think much
about them when saw papa.
1T was only afternoon, but even
then 1t was as dark as night be-
cause we we're so far north. When
we were going into the hotel, a
great Christmas tree in the city
square blazed out with all its lights,
and everyone was celebrating
Christmas.
1.-THE next day we crossed the
Baltic sea, and then l saw the first
German troops. There were aero
planes and submarines everywhere.
but when we reached our new
home in Berlin, forgot all about
the war. It was Christmas eve, and
all the German children out on the
streets were singing Christmas
carols. Lights we're shining from
all the houses. and everyone had .

Believes Children of All
Nations Can Become
United Broth erh God
When Peace Comes.

All the world is sucn a little
world, and all the boys and girls
can have such good times playing
with each other, no matter where
they happen to live, or what their
grown-up people happen to be do
ing, that when one American boy
tells us about all his little play
mates in England and other Euro
pean countries, it makes us realize
more clearly how all the children
and all the nations can become
united brotherhood, when peace
comes.
William is almost a Richmond
boy. His father was born here and
went to school with Margaret and
Jimmie Goes father, and Miss Het-
tie Elliott, who teaches English
and French in Garfield; and VIII
liam himself has visited his little
cousins Anna, Joseph and Thomas,
In this city several times. He is
only eight years old, and now is
living in New York In his home
which overlooks the Hudson River,
where the troop-ships laden with
cheering American soldiers go
steaming out to sea and across to
France. But most of his life has
been far more exciting, and Will

stirring scenes, and has seen many
OF the great personages Of the

What does Palladium mean?.
Julia Burr.
Dear Julia:
The word Palladium" refers to
m image Of goddess Pallas Athe-
ne, which long time ago was kept
hidden in some important building
IN a tow, and revered as a pledge
Of the safety Of the town or place
where 1t existed. There is story
too, about how the image was
made. This Is how 1t happened.
Triton was the god of the sea
and he had a daughter named
PAllas, who had a friend named
Athene, who also lived with them.
One sunny morning Pallas and
Athene were out in the garden
wrestling for exercise. Suddenly
and Unexpectedly Pallas looked
away and Athene by accident
wounded her SO severely that she
died. Athene was so sad at what
had happened that she had an
Image made Of her which the king
cf the gods IN at Of anger threw
down to earth. 1t happened to
come down at Troy, city where

heaven) SO he set it up in place |

Infantry wear them on their steel
