PEACHES"
Us Girls Y. w. c. A.
Oh, mother, said Myrtle one even
Ing, 1 wish we had a Y. w. G. A.
Well, said her mother, why don't
you work for n
I will, said Myrtle.
The next day she got all the girls
work If they wanted a Y. w. c. A.
The next day Myrtle went to the
news office and told the men that
she would pay him if he would pub
lish some bills for her. h man
said he would and Myrtle vent hom
satisfied When the bills were finish
ed this is what they said.
Help Us Girls.
We want a Y. w. G. A. ALL those
that want to help us call at Mo-
Main street, Saturday.
Then Myrtle got her little brothers
to peddle them to every one in the
town.
on Saturday Myrtle had all the
girls In one big room and they were
waiting for the guests to ON
Pretty soon Myrtle heard the door
bell ring and went to the door. There
stood a big crowd of people.
When Myrtle saw them she knew
they couldn't get all in the house, SO
chairs were borrowed and put on the
lawn and the people were delighted
to have to sit In the open air as 1t
was very warm inside. One of the
ladies spoke up and told Myrtle her
husband said they would rent three
rooms for four dollars a week. An
other lady said they could have some
chairs and a table. Still another lady
said she would let them have a lounge
and some window curtains and so
they kept on and on until the girls
had more than they could use. They
were thankful that Myrtle had put
the idea in their heads to work for 1t.
The story is a good attempt, but !
am afraid that the idea would not
work out quite as easy and nicely, al
though I sure wish it would.
