Story OF The Little Princess

Away off in Carpath!an. Russia
there is a school aided by the girls
and boys of the Junior American
Red Cross where thirty orphan chl!-,
dren have found = home and KIND
teachers who are training them to be
useful men and women in the years
to come.
One day not very long ago, these
Ruthenian children celebrated a inStl-
val w giving a little play H:hich
was witnessed By representative OF
the Junior Red Cross. 1t was the
unfolding OF the Junior idea of I'M
selfish service for others.
When the curtain was drawn d"laa
there appeared beautiful little rrln
cess, so beautiful that everyone how
ed down before her But there was
one rshcllious old man who declared
he would never bow before her. this
made the little princess very sad. I'm
IL her counsellors told her the Old
man would bow down with the others
when she was as wise as she vas
beautiful.
TIE princess went about TO &C.
Gvirc wisdom, and the Arts ana
Sciences came to instruct her. Alter
a time all the people bowed before
Ter, as much for her wisdom rs Tor
her beauty. Still the old man re-
fused to make obeisance. DiSconSo-
late because Of this, the little prrin-
cess sal weeping in her room when
shc had some one crying outside her
window. Looking out she discovered
a group of hungry children begging
for bread. Calling them in with
loving words, she gave them Dread
and cake ano sought to make them
comfortable and happy.
AS the nrincess sat alone wishing
that she might relieve al! the mlser!
in the wcrld. the cid man entered

BALM FOR THE REJECTED
Words From Kindly Reader Of


Words From a Kindly Reader of
Manuscripts
The cruel business of sending re-
lection slips to hopeful authors gives
very it'll i:.ne or place for the ex-
ercise of 'the humanities. !" Indeed,
the reader often enough wishes for
an opportunity to express some ser
timen3 lesides stereotyped disap-
prevail or lack OF interest, for he is
generally wholly devoid of harsh feel
ings, and not in the least bored by
the floods .os unavailable manuscripts
that must 60 back whence they came.
Contrary to public opinion, it is no
fearful task to read and pass upon
manuscripts. Instead, it is one Of tie
most romantic of pastimes. Ones
fingers clutch strands from the far
ends of the earth, and stow away
into one place each day such col
lection of the great and the lowly as
would put an ordinary city street to
shame. Here East meets West and
all nations gather, striving in friend
ly fashion for that seemingly unat-
tainable thing, editorial favor. And
to the magazine reader, VINO merely
picks the shep from the goats, one
great interest must always be the
personality of the contributor,
How many strange people enc
meets, and how very well one learns
to know them. Particularly is this
true of the Unpublished, for they
have not yet learned to hide all
things under the cloak of art. or 20
serve up startling reality with the
grace and inevitability Of fiction.
Their work is replete with life in the
the rough; they deal but rarely with
pure fancy, and even then some
times the alchemy fails-somewhere
the art wears thin and the gilt of TO
nance rubs off and reveals the real
ity beneath. One may probe with
the analysts full JOY, and discover
with surprising accuracy OF what
stuff contributors are made, and
what experiences their lives have
held. One may work in vast fields
for the trusting contributor pours
out to his ell to the editor-his age
and ambition, his hearts secrets and
his financial status, his family skele-
ton-and lets them all gather to
await the editors momentary decls-
ion Of their right to fame.
