LETTER TO BAXTER
PUPILS COMES FROM
GIRLS IN CREMONA

Girls of the fourth grade of a
school Of Via Palestro, Cremona,
Italy, have written a letter to the
boys and girls Of the fifth grade of
Baxter school, Miss Dorothy Nc
Alpin's room. The letter was for
warded to the Junior Palladium Of
flee by Miss Paine, supervisor of
the Richmond elementary schools,
who began this splendid train Of
travelling letters. All letters re-
ceived for boys and girls in the
Richmond schools during the sum-
mer will be published, as announc-
ed earlier, In the Junior Palladium.
The letter follows:
Nice pupils:
The 20 little pupils of the school
for girls at Centre Palestro send
you with very much affection their
greetings, and also some news
about their school.
Are you happy?
Oh, il you could see how beauti-
full our town Is. 1t Is on a hill near
the Pc river which Is the largest
river in Italy. The town is very
very old and has very many antique
monuments, beautiful palaces and
there Is also bridge that Is nearly
mile long!!!
The Cathedral that Is a real
work of art is known for its paint
ings and for its tower that Is 1T
meters high.
We would be delighted to have
you here to see the large streets,
the fields all around, to see also
how our farms work patiently and
nicely. If you would come in the
winter we could offer you some of
our specialties as hard candies,
mustard, sauces and all sorts of
things like this that are really
very good. | don't think you would
miss eggs, milk and cheese be-
cause our good farms have a lot of
cows, chickens, rabbits and all ami
mails like this. You could admire
some factories that give work to
hundreds of women; moulding fac
tories, manure factories, that en-
pioy thousands of men and boys.
Oh! How we would like to have
you down here also only for one
week. We have very nice and
patient mistress in our school that
teaches us different things with
very much affection and interest.
Nearly each day the girls of the
high school come to US with their
teachers and give US very interest
ing lessons.
We have different teachers for
accountings, design or drawings,
gymnastics. Now that it is spring
and that the stoves are no more of
use, you know where our dear mis-
tress brings us to study? She
brings us right in the garden,
under some tree, in the green
grass! And there, in the open air,
we study with much more interest
and much more love. |
We now finish this letter, send |
ing you all our affectionate and
sincere wishes.-The Pupils of the
Fourth Elementary Class of the
School of Via Palestro
at Cremona, Italy.

THE LOVE PENDULUM"
By MARION RUBlNCAM

Lets not discuss It then. Here's
the station hack. Heavens, what a
dusty wagon. my white serge will
be ruined!"
"Wben's father coming out?" I
asked as she was ready to leave.
IT sincerely trust he will not come
here this summer. I'm trying to send
him to Canada on a fishing trip. Can
you imagine your father here?"
1 couldn't, so ! said nothing. A
week later l had a sweet apologize

so sorry to miss his dear child, but
that the hot city had made him

Media came often. She was more
adaptable than most of the girls 1
knew, she was jolly enough when
she forgot her s~tatuesque pose, and
she was fond Of long walks and
swimming. We spent a great many
lovely lazy days together. Yet even
Media was not above gossiping.
We were talking of Shirley's
elopement, and Media said:
"Of course they won't be happy.
They will for a while. l believe h

little thing at heart. But after all
he is from one world and she an
other"
Hes from a better world than
She" l protested.

important things that money and

little by little. Then she'll be un-
happy and divorce him. 1t always

you talk like my father and my
aunt" I protested again. Aunt Har-
riet expects just that to happen in
my case. But it won't. First OF all,
the very thing I want to get away
from is this silly empty so-called
society life"
But it's the very thing your hus-
band wants to get into" Media an
swered, gathering a handful of sand
and letting 1t run through her fing-
ers. We had been swimming and
were lying on the beach under a

write! There's nothing in it, it's
best not to read it.
IF I thought marrying a poor man
would bring me more happiness I'd
do it. But apparently it doesn't.
You're no happier than if you had

I walked nearly three miles that

My ardor was dampened, however.

old kimono, was in the a carrying
a glass of milk.
I'm so glad you've come home!"
she exclaimed. Robbie has been
awfully trying all day. Perhaps you
can do something with him"
L felt a little ashamed of myself
for taking that long walk instead of
hurrying home, but Dot was always
telling me that I ought to get more
exercise.
What's the matter" I asked.
Hes been terribly cross. I'm
going to heat this milk for the sec
ond time. He won't drink 1t and it
gets cold"
Have you taken his tempera-
ture?"
yes, he hasn't any fever. Per-
haps it's his teeth that make him
so cross. 1 don't know"-she SEEM
ed to give half a sob-'it may be my
fault. I'm SO tired I'm afraid I'm
irritable and not so patient with him
as 1 should be-"
Nonsense"
1 stepped into Boobies room.

You rascal; 1 hear you've been
a bad boy"
"P'ease mulk; Please mulk," he
repeated.

When Dot brought me the glass
of milk I said to her:
Now you go and rest, sweetheart;
! can see you've had a mighty hard
time"
Bobbie I persuaded to take the
milk by the time-honored trick OF
now a spoonful for mamma" and
nov a spoonful for daddy"
When he got near the bottom OF
the glass he lifted it in his W hands
and drank the remainder of the
milk like a man. Then I tucked
him in his crib and Dot came to kiss
the little fellow goodnight.
We had a cold supper that night.
("I was so tired l. knew you Woulun

she yawned and didn't feel like talk

I'm not very entertaining"

She was q little golden haired
girl. Slim. delicate. a lovely little
person who could, sc gracefully,
have been the vine clinging sweet
ly and helplessly to the household
trellis.
But she made a mistake, this lit
tie Margaret Watson of New York,
and discovered that she was re-
sourceful and that she didn't have
to lean and so she didn't lean.
And now Margaret say that was
her mistake, that if she had been
less self-reliant and more dependent
her husband would not have shifted
the burden of support of his family
and he would not have been sent to
Blackwelrs Island for non-support.
Perhaps Margaret is right. Why
a trellis If there is nothing to cling ?
Why a home, if there is no respon-
sibility?
Margaret's isn't a new theory at
all.
You know how it is yourself.
There was Stella, for instance.
When she married Tom she put
away her pad and her pencil and
forgot that she ever had known
how to use a typewriter. She didn't
attempt to pad the family income.
She depended upon Tom.
And Tom seemed to like 1t and
to thrive on it and to become more
and more fond Of Stella.
Your Way
Az for yourself-you hadn't want
ed to be a burden. John wasn't
earning very much and you thought
and above all things you didn't
want to curtail his enjoyment so
you stayed on at the Office and some

the mending, toA
John thought your self-reliance
was fine and used to speak of it in
the beginning. Gradually he came
to the place where he simply ac-
copied your sharing of the house,

to expect it and sport a fairly WIS.,

enough for a blouse or gloves.
Men appreciate responsibility.
They do not want simply a business
partner in their home, a business
competitor. Such a condition kills

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Open sandwiches served with iced
tea make an ideal luncheon for a
hot summer noon.
The bread for these sandwiches
should be cut as thick as for ordin-
airy bread and butter and both halves
of the sandwich should be lightly
spread with butter.
A vegetable or fish sandwich may
be accompanied by radishes or pic
kles and a sweet sandwich by sailed
nuts.
Left-overs may be utilized in a
most attractive fashion in these
sandwiches.
Tomato Sandwiches
White bread, butter. anchovy or
bloater paste. lettuce. tomatoes
mayonnaise.
Cut bread u inch thick and spread
sparingly with butter. Spread SPAR
ingly with anchovy paste. Bloater
paste is much the same as anchovy
and less expensive. Put a leaf or
two of lettuce on the bread, d two
or three slices of tomato and mask
with mayonnaise. Serve 2 pieces of
bread prepared in this way to each
person.
Hard Boiled Egg Sandwiches
Allow III hard boiled eggs for
| each sandwich. Mayonnaise. lettuce
Cut bread u inch thick and spread
with butter. Put 2 or 8 leaves of let
tuce on each piece of bread, add
| slices of hard boiled egg and cover
| generously with mayonnaise.
Cottage Cheese Sandwiches
Brown bread, butter, cottage
| cheese, strawberry preserves.
Cut bread in u inch slices. Spread
| generously with butter. (The other
| ingredients are lacking in fat) Put
a layer of cheese about Il inch thick
| on the bread. add a layer of preserv-
es and cover lightly with cheese.

1t would be a startling change
even in fiction.
But Mrs. Louis handbook, of

She expects to settle down almost
in the center of the Fiji, as part
owner of a $40, 900, 900 estate .
One of the most eccentric wills in
| history is responsible for it all.
Way back in 1864 Prince Wolfert

gruntled with his daughter, Princess
Anneka for marrying out of royalty
He willed her share of his extensive
island holdings to the seventh gen.
| Grafton of her descendants.
Held in Trust

dom to her children. They repeated
it to their children and their chill
