Mrs. Emmett Writes Interesting
Letters From Paris.
Hotel Continental,
8 Rue Castiglione, Paris,
January 10, 1921.

My dear Mother:
Leaving London yesterday at 10
a. M, we arrived in Paris last night
at s p. m. We decided on the Dover
Calais route for making the trip, be-
cause it was the shortest way over
the English channel, and my effort,
was to escape sea-sickness after my
experience in coming over. 1t is only
about twenty miles across and takes
one and a half hours to make the
trip, but what that trip makes up in
time it loses in intensity. 1t is about
the roughest water ever saw or felt
and the little ship ploughs deep fur
roughs to make any speed. l expected
"every minute to be my next" as Bro.
Rabbit said. l believe 1 would have
given up if l had spent another FIVE
minutes on that boat, but l saw plen-
ty of others who did not fare as well
as l did.
From Calais to Paris was long
tiresome trip by rail, and none the
pleasanter for my establishment
about all that French I had been
pluming myself about knowing. Mine
seems to be an entirely different va
riety from what is spoken in France.
We could not even make them under
stand what hotel we wanted to go to,
and for while it began to look like
we would have no address but
Somewhere in France" like the A..
E. f. during the war. AT last we got
located at this hotel which is "bean"
and of Boston's best variety.
You don't know coffee till you
drink it in Paris, and as for the
French pastries-they are food for
the gods, This morning baked apples
were served which really started an
epoch in my education; the wonder
is how xhey do it.. The French are GER

gerated puffs over the ears as the
American girls do their hair, but it
is combed in soft curly Psyche knot
with little ringlets slightly covering
the ears. l don't know how they do it,
but their style of hair dressing is
beautiful.
We have not seen much of the city
yet as most of our morning was spent
with the American Express" people
at No. II Rue Scribe, but there was
no mail there, which was bitter dis
appointment to us both. The next
steamer comes in Saturday and we
have high hopes of getting letters.
then.
We walked by the Tuillcries Gar
dens down to the "Place de Ia Con-
corde" where we located the eight
large statues representing the eight
largest cities of France. The first we
looked for was Strasburg, which was
draped in purple from 1878 to 1918
because during that time Germany
held it as part of the spoils of the
Franco-Prussian war. On the night
of the armistice, this drapery was re-
moved; you can imagine the delirious
happiness of the throngs as this was
done. We walked short distance in
the Champs Elysee, and saw enough
to make us wonder where our soldier
boys eyes were that they did not
seem to appreciate the beauties of
Paris. Longing to be in the old U. S.
A. is the only explanation can see.
In the shops everything is so beau
tiful and artistic it makes you long
for fortune to spend on them.
Afternoon tea is served here as in
London, but I think it is more wine
and cigerattes than tea and cigar
cites as in England. / don't know
where the women are going to stop.
They are serving on juries in Eng
land. heard of case where some Of
the testimony was so vile the lawyers
hesitated to introduce it from feel
ing of delicacy for the female jurors,
but the judge ruled that nothing
must be omitted; in assuming the
right of man they also assumed his
obligations.
1t looks to me like the female sex
is bad lot over here if you can
Judge by appearances only.
Now keep me posted so can get
news from home. I feel so far away
from you all. God bless and keep you
for me.

Red Oak Grove News.

We most graciously greet the open
ing of spring, as it suits best our ma
ture, though every season has for us
its many wonderful admirations. All
appeal with varied interest. With
the coming of spring we rural church
folks have a waking up. 1t brings bet
ter church attendance, and the auxil-
iaries of the. Christian work take on
new life.
The last report from our pastor,
Rev. G. w. Bussey was that he is re-
covering from an attack of something
like apoplexy. He has sympathetic
place in the Red Oak Grove section,
and we hope the weather will admit
his having a goodly number out on
next Sunday to welcome his return.

encouraged that our quota will be

The Sunday schools at Flat Rock
and Red Oak Grove both had good at
tendance on last Sunday. The latter
school will be reorganized on next
Sunday. All branches of church work
seem to be catching new inspiration.

Messrs. j. NJ. Prescott and Frank

In late edition of the Literary
Digest" Kansas City editor made
interesting comparison of outstand-
ing conditions of the United States
after the Civil War for a period of
four years, and the World War from
1914-1S. Upon reflection, our views
of this most interesting statement,
has only been more convincing, that
many of us do not know when we are
blessed. The whole world now, it
seems is in state of restlessness, and
why? because access to money has
been too easily obtained. If there is
one thing more responsible for the
present existing conditions, it is the
ingratitude manifested by your lives
to our Father above. For the despair
and darkness in which the masses dc
exist, surely will be blessing in dis
guise. While money seems scarce, we
need the grace of our Lord more
Money is in many instances curse
but Gods grace is sufficient for al
our needs. We need to put on an ar
NOR of faith, and all will be well.

Who is God?

Ask the wind that moves unseen,
Or the sky of azure blue;
Ask the trees of emerald green,
Or the flowers of varied hue.
Ask the sea and ocean vast,
Or the sea fowls swift of wing;
Ask the eagle with flight so fast,
Or the birds that sweetly sing.
Ask the lightning with vivid flash,
Or the raindrops as they fall;
Ask the thunder of roar and crash.
Or the wild fowls as they call.
Askthe stars with twinkling light,
Or the earth, the grass, the sod;
Ask the moon or sun so bright,
They will tell you who is God.
