EIene the Versatile
a City-Country Exchange

ELENE was no problem; she was
simply restless and unhappy in
the city and wanted me to take her
along. Her mother consented, for
the child - she was fourteen -
wouldn't stay home in the evenings
would spend every spare minute
at the movies or want to go to q
dance with some boy friend.
She has been in the country a
year and here are a few of the
things she has done: worked with
Land Army Group at haying and
harvesting; had a garden and ex-
hibited at the county fair; is an ex-
cellent cook and housekeeper; has
done notably in preserving and
picking; has raised chickens and a
pig; gone logging; cut wood; helped
with painting and papering and
plastering; vanished floors; got
up entertainments; taught children
dancing and folk-dances; made her
own clothes; this besides some
study and getting up a play, fer
which she was stage manager and
designed and made the costumes.
She has also done all sorts of dan
gerous stunts in climbing.
The child simply had not enough
scope in town for the variety of
ability which she possessed.
There ought to be lively inter
change of young folk between city
and country. If the country life
and the freedom it afforded were a
delight and refreshment to Elene,
quite as valuable to the stolid. self
conscious New Highlander were
Elene's zest and Joy of life, and

might have the many thousand in

such parade would look like.

If you have two days a week

pathy, which can be learned only
through experience and training in

Three prime requisites for the

judgment and training. In addition,
it would stand her in good stead to

tact, humor and magnetism.

the older residents of the district had

Scarsdale, and, feeling that their
scattered community needed bind

regarded all pending printers

No propaganda sheet is "The In

the academic women's club Of yore,
