War Russia sent feet over 10 stand by

served under my grandfather wrote me only
the other day, We all felt more comfortable
in those days, when we heard the Russian
feet was in the harbor!'
"I was struck with the attitude Of our
Russian people at the time Of the war with
Japan. They hated to fight the japanese;
they knew nothing about the quarrel and
less about the Japanese; but 1t was not
that way during and before the World War.
They had felt and disliked the German
influence long ago. Germany was the sinis-
ter influence in Russia, as it Is in this
country right now"
Come" said the chairman, entering the
room, eve need the princess"
And this is true, we do need the princess.
We need her for her fearlessness and her
clear, vision, and then she belongs to US.
1t is as an American she is now pleading
for US to help Russia. Russia" she says,
ssneyer has asked for aims, and I cannot
break the tradition. But because Of my birth
right ask the help of America for those
wonderful, patient, suffering people. They
have been a strong ally in the World War;
they have come to the help Of America
MANY times and have always been our
friend-help them help themselves"

teaching; partly because she loved children
50 much. She might never have left that
profession, even to marry the man she loved,
but for a certain scholastic incident. An
inspector walked into her classroom one
day when Miss Annie had a cold. She
coughed. Then she received peremptory
notice to remain at home-without salary.
After few weeks of home and rest and
much good food bought with the last of
her savings, Annie L. Burt would have
made an excellent advertisement for the
"after- taking" claims of a spring tonic !;
her own doctor laughed at the word
lungs So did the school authorities,
but too late.' So did Mr., v. W. Langley,
The Washington herald., 1920-07-04

Here is tie secret: Three layers OF :ich
cake with this filling: Cooked icing mixed
with one cup of raisins, one cup of pounded
pecans, one cup of grated cocoanut, one
tablespoonful of grated bitter chocolate, the
Juice of one lemon and Of one orange. just
as New Orleans IL famed for Antoine's split
orange dessert and Besay's liver and bacon,
80 Annie Langley bids fair to achieve fame
through this cake and southern fried chicken.
But here we are, way ahead of our story.
Fortunately Annie LIS nanny had let her
experiment considerably in the old southern
Kitchen. When Judge Burt and his wife
died Annie found herself the oldest Of five
sisters and head of the family. After two
years of normal school she added to her four
sisters the forty eight children in Grade 2,
public school, and that was already quite
family, but not yet SUFFICIENT for her moth
erly instincts.
One Sunday morning in the choir loft Of
her church she felt her attention distracted
from the sermon and hymns by the peaked
face Of hungry looking school teacher from
the North.
my, but she's thin! l wonder what it
is she doesn't get to est?" And pondering
the subject, Annie determined to find out.
The pastor told her that the teacher from
the North lived at the Hotel H.
''At S45 4 month for two meals a day,
besides 31S for a room, she ought to get
enough to eat," Annie L. soliloquised.
That, of course, was back in 1908.
The Washington herald., 1920-07-04

..Do you have good meals at the At"
she asked tenor in the choir.
Yes; that is to say, the best to be had.
But, say, I've been watching something
funny in our dining room. At table near
ours there's a girl from the North. The
first day she was there she took a look at
the fifty side dishes scattered around
her plate and seemed to miss something
without knowing just what. And didn't eat
with much pleasure until she came to the
dessert. Then took the lovely square Of
yellow cake and bit into it--just once. 1t
was unsweetened cornbread, but she didn't
know that, for the same thing haupeped the
second day. Still thought It was cake with
the sugar left out by mistake. She's never
touched a yellow square since; and to my
knowledge for three months she .asn tastec
bread at the hotel at least, for that's the
only kind they ever serve"
That evening Annie L. was absent from
the choir. She wss at home kneading q
batch of white -four bread. The following
evening, with two big, warm, sayory loaves
under her arm, she called on the girl from
the North.
Bread! White bread! Did you ever 20
without it for three whole months? ,
I've had my pleasure as a school
teacher" says Mrs. Langley. "Now I'm
having the double pleasure of seeing people
well fed and of making it possible for my
daughters--if some day they should want to
teach school-to do it without worrying about
the salaries,'

broad shouldered, six foot two Texan school
teacher, who carried her Of to Niagara
Falls with him on their honeymoon. SO
would my one who sees her now or her
three ,ollickins youngsters, as sturdy q trio
as any these United States eyer produced.
But a nice home in a large, growing city
with enough nourishing food for q healthy
family Of i've, and a school teachers $500 .
month (or less) are Incompatible" as
Mrs. Langley puts II. She believes in school
teaching exactly as she believes in foreign
missions, and she had no intention Of per-
.vertins Mr.. LaLsley's equally idealistic
views on the subject or Of proselytizing him
away from his chosen profession.

haps because she walked 50 well. As she
came nearer found to my surprise II was
the princess Personality g strange thing.
1t cannot remain hidden, but always crops
up, sometimes when you least expect 1t.
In her tailored black sport suit and simple
black hat, with a cluster of gardenias In
her coat, she was a princess through sheer
mentality.
She was to talk before q representative
group of women that afternoon, and
number hid come from a distance to see
and hear her-women who had known her
years ago and miles away. While we were
talking in a room apart a woman came
toward US hesitatingiy and said to the prin-
cesss
''I wonder If ] may interrupt for just
minute. / want to give this te you" and
she handed her a small. white box, at is Q
piece of your wedding cake, which 1 have
Kept all these years. 1t was very gooc
cake. remember eating some Of 1t at you,
wedding"
''Oh!" responded the princess with the
most pleased surprise. "how very kind yor
are 70 bring it to me! Wedding cake, like
wine, improves with age-but not women.
Dear me! am getting old. This cake
reminds me that have been married twenty
years"
And theh another woman came to her
and asked;
''fou won't mind IL I just say how do
you doF win you? You win not remember
me, know, but my grandfather gave your
grandfather a pair of Arabian horses.
wonder IL you ever rode behind them in your
childhood?'
"Do remember them? Why most as
suredly do laughed the princess, hold
ing out her hand impulsively. MANY are
the times I've flown behind those beauties
with my grandfather. I'm so glad you
