TINE Lindsay twins were having
Sunday morning breakfast on
the sunny side porch of their
Grandfather Leland's house.
They were blissfuIly unconscious that
anything had gone wrong. but they
realized that their adored little
mother was what Ricky called "dess

could gain a smile from his mother
when none else could, was tribe
afraid of her. He eyed her mourn
fully as she grimly ordered him to
eat his cereal.
His mother was not eating. She
sat. rather tense, behind the silver
coffee urn, her lovely hair drawn
primly back from her forehead. But
she had dressed herself with really

head to the tips of her freshly whit

Her boyish blouse was covered with
a trig white sweater, her white han-

and she contemplated her neatly
manicured finger nails with a sort OF
pathetic satisfaction.

thinking. II must remember TO keep

myself get slouchy. That would be

1t had been a difficult night. but
somehow or other she had pulled
through it like a good soldier. Thorne
Blaisdelfs last telephone message had
come through shortly before 1
o'clock. Merriam's father had soft
ened it all that he could when he re-
peated it to his daughter. and he
knew that Blaisdell had made the re-
port as gentle as he could from a
fine consideration of the unhappy
girls feelings. But the best that he
could say was this:

After the young Fox had eaten the
fat trout Little Joe otter had left for
him on the bank of the Laughing
Brook, he made his way back home
to the Old Pasture. There he lay
down on his doorstep and thought
things over Having no one else to
talk to. he talked to himself.
The Great World is wonderful

sir: it is a wonderful place. But l

Little Joe Otter sometimes catches

I ANY girls and boys, too, in

VI surprised to learn the depth

~ AN SlflS DOyS, lOO, iIi
|" the United States would be
surprised to learn the depth
of the grateful feelings Of
little girls and boys abroad who were
the recipients of gift boxes through
the Junior Red Cross last year. In
Austria especially, where conditions
are at their very worst, the children
felt the good will Of their little
friends across the water most keenly.
Some OF the letters from little girls
who received boxes last year are very
interesting. Little Paula Wildreisk
Of Vienna wrote as follows:
Dear lady: Among the pretty little
presents in my Christmas box I also
found an envelope with dollar note.
The money being of great value,
instantly resolved to utilize 1t for US
all. Last week I heard a lecture on
Dentology in the School, and there
fore think it to be the best II buy
dren. There is a lot who are not
able to buy one with their own
means. but with a changed dollar We
can get more than thirty. I hope,
dear lady, you will approve to this
application. Having been in England
for some months last year, I am able
to write my best thanks in English
Our best thanks. too, to your little
girls. who SO kind-hearted packed
the Christmas box"
FURTHER evidence of the value OF
J. money in this depleted country
is shown in another letter from little
Aloisia Myller. She says in part:
"You probably could not imagine,
when you packed up the beautiful
playthings. what a pleasure they
would be to me. Ny sister. who is
with the beautiful doll at all or from
the other things. never had such
pleasure. that any one SO far away
should be SO kind to me. My parents
could not buy me anything like this
in Vienna. Those things are SO dear
needed for far more important pur-
poses.
my father. who is tailor by trade.
earns just enough to provide for our
living. For he is working alone in
business. A little loaf of bread now
costs 316 kronen; kilogram Of hour,
500 kronen: one kilogram of sugar.
1000 kronen; one kilogram OF meat.
2,200 kronen. Poor people are quite
unable to buy shoes and clothes. AS
q little souvenir for the dear little
girl who was SO kind to me (she
surely will not scorn it) I will send
q one, two and twenty kronen GER
tiflcate, so she can see what our Aus
trian kronen are like"
Another little Austrian, Karl Reisl
Of Vienna, says:
my mother is a cook and my
father died in 1915. I am living with
my grandmother, who is also old
now and can no longer earn anything.
In general, we are having q hard
time in Vienna. Everything Is so
terribly dear that 1t is impossible to
buy anything. For long time I
have not eaten such good candy, and
my stockings were all torn. too: so
that the kind hearts of the Americans
gave me great pleasure"
Josef Langhammer addresses a let
ter to the American Christ-child and
says.
1--WE divided the last package
among us children. We kept one
cake Of soap In the classroom, be.
cause many children come to school
dirty. We thank you cordially for
the beautifuf playthings."

Il cannot tell You how glad I was. Az

received the package on the 18th Of

chiefs. a doll, fishing game, a bali.

thanks. I never had SO much pleasure

MRS. H. NESELBICHLER, the
1V1 American wife of an Austrian
professor. living in Vienna, says in
letter to Miss Hadley of the American
Red Cross headquarters:

Neselbichler inclosed and which she
translated from the German, says:
