PATRIOTIC WORK OF
SCHOOL NUMBER SEVENTY

School No. 20 has been the scene.
OF patriotic activity since the begin
ming OF the new year and the teach
ers and pupils have just cause to be
proud.
Mrs. F. S. Mellen addressed the pu-
pills on Red Cross day and from that
time, every effort has been made TO
help win the war.
A story telling entertainment was
given and enough money raised so
that every pupil who was not already
a Red Cross member might join. In
this way the school became a Junior
Red Cross auxiliary. the second school
in the city to take that step.
An allotment of one hundred COM
fort bags to be made by the children
was assigned to No. 20. After the
school had become an auxiliary. On
last Friday one hundred and fifteen
bags We're sent to the Pensacola Red
Cross Chapter. Each bag contained
note that had been written by one
of the children to the soldier getting
the bag with hopes of getting an early
reply.
A Red Cross Knitting Club was or
ganized in January by Miss Janette
Stephenson and at the end of three
months the club had completed a
comforter for convalescent soldiers
The squares were knit by both boys
and girls.
Pennies, nickels and dimes were
saved during this time by the pupils
to adopt a French orphan for a year.
Last week 1t was found that the re-
quired amount, $3.50. had been raised
and the money was sent to head
quarters in Nashville. The children
are now waiting TO hear the name
and age of their adopted orphan.
The Thrift Stamp Campaign in No.
10 has been vigorously conducted too.
Thrift Stamp speech contests Were
held and the winners were awarded
certificates.
The sale of thrift stamps in the
school has amounted to s29. #
An effort was made to have every
child in the school own one thrift
stamp. Grade Three was the banner
grade in this contest with Grade
Four close second
AS a fitting close to patriotic
work. the school will have a flag
raising this morning at ten O'CLOCK
The flag was presented to the school
by the school board for which the

It's almost nine-and I wanted to go
down town early this morning"
It was a little after four that af-
ternoon when Helen went up the
broad steps of the Goldhill and
through the great revolving doors.
At the desk she gave her card to
one of the clerks and asked that IL be
sent TO Mrs. Griffin. Consulting a
big revolving register. he scrubbed a
number on the card, handed it to an
kpther clerk and motioned her to a re-
teption room just beyond.
As Helen waited she watched with
much interest the throng of people
passing through. In no other place
can one see more varied types of faces
than in the corridor of a great hotel
belboy came hurrying toward her
now with a slip in his hand.

He led her down the corridor into
one of the niddle-lined elevators and
out at the twelfth floor, down ano-
Their long hall and around. a turn.
Stopping before door numbered
1886, he rang the bell.
From Warren's description Helen
knew that the pleasant-faced woman
who opened the door was Mrs. Grit
fin herself. There were a few words
of murnured greeting, and Helen
found herself in the drawing room OF
what was evidently a very elaborate
suite.
Wont you have a chair by the win
dow? I think the view from this side
is especially interesting"
The window, overtopping the ad-
joining building, looked far out to the
east river.
"Oh, that is wonderful view"
murmured Helen, grateful for having
the awkwardness of the first few
moments relieved by SO easy a sub
ject for discussion.
YES. we think 1t is, and its very
beautiful at night with all the lights
"oh, it must be-" murmured Helen.
wishing she could think of a more
comment.
However, they managed to talk
about the view several moments
longer. All he time Helen was try
ing to think of what other subject she
could introduce when this was ex-
hausted.
But when the awkward pause came
she could think of nothing better than
the stereotyped and inevitable:
'*And how do like New York;
Mrs Griffin said that she had seen
very little of It yet. This was an OPP
portunity for Helen to follow War
ren's suggestion and offer to show
her more. but she hardly knew how to
put il, so she let &c pass.
Mrs Griffin was almost as con-
strained and self conscious as Helen.
1t was plain that she regarded Helen
with the difference that most out
siders have for New York women.
To live in New York. to know it, to
be a part of it-there seems to be a
glamour about all of this for the out
of-town visitor, particularly those
from western states.
So the first few moments were
most difficult for them both But
later when they got 10 talking about
the hotel and Mrs. Griffin showed her
through the suite, things were easier.
