Four Little Kittens

At home we have four little kit
tens. One is yellow and the rest
are gray. They were born Thurs
day, February 6. They were two
weeks old Thursday, February 90
There mother is yellow, gray and
black. The yellow one looks like
butter it is so yellow. Their eyes
did not open until they were nine
days old. Their tails stick right
out straight when they walk. They
cannot walk very good yet. When
their eyes were open they looked
around. Their eyes are as black as
coal. And about as big as a baby's
finger.
The yellow one puts its head un-
der your arms if you are holding
it. Pauline Bear.

My Home, Greensboro

We left Washington late in the
afternoon. l will not describe my
long ride for we arriced in Green's
boro at one o'clock in the morning.
My father was here three or four
days before and met US at the
station. He took us to the Gull
ford Hotel and spent the night
there. 1t was Saturday night and
we also spent Sunday there. We
were invited out to dinner to some
friends of fathers. The next day
we went to our apartment. We
are living with Mr.. and Mrs. Doc
tor Whitsett. She wrote the biog
raphy of o. Henry, he was a
Greensboro man, and at one time
worked in drug store here. They
have a new hotel called o. Henry
Hotel, it will be opened soon. l
like Greensboro, but not as much
as / do Richmond, because my
Grandma Ollie and Aunt Grace and
Uncle Turner live there. We have
fine schools here, but am sorry i
can't go. The doctor won't let me
for year. / am sorry it will put
me back so, but / practice on the
piano, but can't take LESSONS just
now. My mother and father have
promised that may visit my
Grandma Ollie this summer, so l
hope to visit the paper Office while
l am in Richmond. This is all of
my trip.

the story you'd hear would be:
"My face is dirty cause ! cry

my little feet pain me SO. They
were frozen last winter. We did
not have any fire in our one-room
home. We live in New Yorktown
on the East Side, where it is cold
est in winter and stiffling hot in
summer.
"The Salvation Army sent me
out into the country to get well, but
/ cannot play with the other babies
because Of my feet"
The Salvation Army will launch
on May 10 home service cam
paign for $13,000,000 The CAM
paign will extend through to May

on the generosity Of the American

He cannot bear the noise.
Mamma says, Don't go out of

Where not a single don't all day,
Could stop my fun or spoil my

In several very attractive styles that
open down the front and demand q
vest or blouse to be worn with them.
These vests are not always Of the sub

weather. Sometimes they are OF crisp
Organdie and lace and sometimes Of
plain weaves In fiber silk. 1t Is the
vest that adapts the sweater coat to
the day and the occasion.
The last word in these attractive
iate-summer sweaters is spoken and
the picture above conveys 1t to you.
