Orr Visit in WASHINGTON

In my last chapter l told of my
wonderful trip to New York. Now
/ want to tell the most wonderful
part of it all, our trip to Washing
ton. When we arrived at Washing
ton at two:thirty-five, Mrs. G. N.
Jesse met us at the station and we
got into her machine and drove
down the famous Pennsylvania av-
enue to the White House. 1t was
one Of Mrs. Wilson's afternoons at
home. We saw hundreds OF car
riages and automobiles driving to
and from the White House with
beautifully dressed ladies' going to
call ON Mrs. Wilson. The White
House Is a magnificent building.
standing among giant trees and it
occupies city square. I saw the
Congressional Library and all the
famous buildings Of Washington.
We then went to dinner at the Pow
ha tan hotel: the service was won
derful. After dinner we drove back
to the station. This station Is q
very magnificent building. We
took the evening train for Green's
boro, North Carolina. Later I will
tell Of Observation-Disclosures Ollie.

The Magic Kiss

Prime IS Elva was the most beau
tiul Princess that had ever been
seen. She was the only child OF
the King and Queen Of Fairyland.
and her father and mother and all
the fairies over whom they ruled
loved her dearly. Little Pierrot
was only page in her fathers
court, but he loved the little Prin-
cess just as much as all the other
fairies did. He thought her the
loveliest. sweetest, dearest little
girl in the whole world.
One day when Elva was just
seven years old. the King and
Queen gave a birthday picnic party
for their daughter and all the fairy
boys and girls were invited to it
They had a lovely tea spread out
on the grass-dewberries and
strawberries and honey, and beau
tiful pink and white sugar cake
with Elva's name on 1t In silver
letters; and round the cake instead
Of candles were seven blue hya-
cinths standing each with blue
butterfly poised upon 1t. After tea
the children ran OF to play games.
What shall we play!" asked the
little Princess. "Hideand-seek?"
Eyes, yes, yes" cried all the child
rem and away they ned, laughing
and shouting and dancing, all ex-
cept little Pierrot. the fairy Queens
page. He had to hold fairy Queens
train all the while and could not
play with the other children. al
though he would have liked to
dearly. For he could not bear to
see the little Princess 60 away with
out him.
Princess Elva was one OF the
first to hide.
Il will go ever so far away SO
that they will take long time
finding me-" she said to herself,
and she ran and ran and ran until
she came to Q hawthorn tree q long
way OF. There was . ring Of
toad stools growing round 1t, but
the little Princess never noticed
them and she crouched down be-
hind the tree thinking that she had
found a lovely hiding place.

Our Flag Near Their Hearts

A very touching incident illus
trates the patriotism of those
Americans who had Joined the
French Foreign Legion before the
United States entered the war. Not
being able to fight openly under
the Star Spangled Banner they pro-
cured an American flag and decid-
ed that each Of them, In turn,
should carry 1t wrapped around his
breast. In this way our flag was
present in all those numerous COM
bats in which the colors Of the For
eign Legion participated. Twice it
was pierced by bullets and stained
with the blood of wounds. Once he
who carried 1t fell. The American
volunteers searched the field and
found their dead comrade, took
from his body the we'll beloved col
Ors, and, armed with this emblem,
they went forward to new exploits.
When the United States took up
the insulting defiance Of Germany,
these American volunteers, already
veterans, took their places in their
national army and presented to
France this flag which so proudly
they had borne through numerous
battles.

What lover OF poetry has not
dreamed of visiting the place made

very much. They showed 1t very
plainly by their wide open mouths
and eyes. They we're very much
amazed at this wonderful little mu-
stefan. Amenda was a sweet, good
natured little girl and that helped
it along.
AS time went on Amenda realized
that it was getting lace, so she bade
the musicians goodbye, who asked
her to come and play for them
again sometime, and Shubert es-
corted her safely home.
She told her mother and father
what a fine time she had had and
went to bed very tired, but very
happy, thinking she had pleased
the musicians.
The next morning she awoke to
find that her visit to the musicians
house had been only dream, but
she never forgot It, However,
when she grew UP she became ia
nous music teacher and was loved
by all her pupils.

Amends Dream,
BY Grace simcoke, r. II. S.

Amenda was little girl about
eleven years old. She was very
bright girl and very much interest
ed in music. Amenda started TAX
ing music lessons when she was
nine years old. When she had taken
piano lessons for two years, she
could play very we'll. She would
practice faithfully everyday. When
she was not playing the piano, she
was taking care OF neighb0r's chill
dren; that is, in the summer time.
During the winter months she at
tended school and received the best
Of grades.
One night when Amenda was
about fifteen years old, she had a
wonderful dream. She dreamt that
all the famous musicians. including
Wagner, Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mo
Fart, Gluck, Beethoven and Ruben
stein were having a party at Shu-
bert's home, which was right next
to Amenda's home. About the mid
die of the evening Shubert came
over to Amenda's house and asked
her parents if Amenda couldn't
come over q while and entertain
them with some selections Of music
on the piano.
Her mother and father gladly
consented to her going, because
they were glad they could be Of
some service to these musicians.
So Amenda ran up stairs to put
on her best dress and to fix up her
hair. She was ready in few
minutes and ran into the parlor
where Shubert was waiting. to Sc
lect some Of her best music. I for
got to say that Amenda also had q
good voice.
Shubert escorted her to his house
and introduced her as "The Little
Musician" She sang and played
and the musicians enjoyed this
