the show places of the West. On her re-
turn the world was given to understand
that the Camp Fire Girls of Seattle were
the owners of the largest camp for girls
in the United States and had now among
them the dover rights of $4,000 worth of
property. (Since the improvement of the
island by the Camp Fire Girls the prop
erty has gone up in value.) The camp
now has twenty cottages, mile of water
front, rowboats canoes, one hydroplane
and three adopted children, known as
Rosemary and the Twins.
Again, Grace and Cecile held up the
sign of the box of bon-bons and again
Ruth refused-this time from Spokane,
Wash, where she was organizing the To-
cal council Her magic carpet holds good
for any State in the Union-not neces-
sarily in Gods country only.
Her reply was:
wait another year."
And then 1t was revealed that Grace
had the magic apple. She could see all
over Detroit (without the aid of daily
and act accordingly The result of her,
apple discoveries is the most active and
beneficial form of Americanization now
not only gives but receives. An Ameri-
can born Camp Fire Girl learns how to
cook five dishes the little Syrian born
Camp Fire Girls teach her. In return,
the American born Camp Fire Girl
teaches the Syrian girl how to dance five
American dances or to sing five Ameri-
can songs. A group Of Hungarian Camp
Fire Girls translated folk songs and lula
bies which their mothers and grandmoth-
ers very graciously sang for them while
at their household tasks.
Prating internationalism and getting
blue in the face mouthing the words
melting pot" is not the way Of Grace
Brown. Hers the way a nation might
adopt to its best advantage. Who knows
but this form Of Americanization may be
just an indication of the abilities of this
girl as a lawyer, for she expects to be
admitted to the bar within the year.
Grace Brown has organized the little
negro girls of Detroit until to-day they
form the largest group of negro Camp
Fire Girls in any part of the country.
The big single achievement came with
the Fords giving the Camp Fire Girls
community house in Highland Park, just
beyond Detroit, known now as the Wig
wan. Here the girls learn to keep the
seven points of the Camp Fire law Of:
Seek beauty, give service, pursue knpwl-

talk only of personalities of this man
and that girl or the widow on the next
street. To refute such statement let 1t
be known that Ruth, Grace and Cecile
talked that twilight oniy of girls-girls
as dreamers, girls as builders, girls as
thinking, healthy bodied women.

hankering for sweets was a favorite
teasing point.

wait till we hear from Cecile. Decide
at National Conference in New York"
From Cecile Francisco came no COM
munique whatever. She was busy, she
admitted in grudgingly small letters.
Camp Shawnee at Grandview, distance
from Kansas City, took bit of her time
and energy. Beyond that, neither Grace
nor Ruth could get anything more. But
then, that was the way of Cecile. No
fanfare, no trumpets to herald her ac-
complishments. Whatever was on her
mind she went and did. And no one
knew, until after the deed was done.
Came the joyous day when the East,
West, North and South mothers and the
others gathered together at the opening
of the National Conference of Camp Fire
Girls at the Russell Sage Foundation.
The roll was called-a very pleasant
method, as l recall, where each member
as her name was mentioned, rose and
said: How do you do?" to everybody
else in the room. And Ruth Brown, not
looking night older than the twilight
when she offered up the box of sweets,
rose and smiled at every one out of her
blue eyes and said:
How do you do?"
And Grace Brown built more sturdily

Grace declared, and
thus was the wager
concluded that twi-
light in Detroit.
At this point you
may find a parallel to
this story in a fairy
tale which tells Of the
three youths s w h o
wished to gain a king
dom ard incidentally a
princess. 1t was an
nounced that the lady
would choose that man
who achieved the most
for tie good of the
kingdom. T h Q three
YOUTHS contrived to get

a maeic carpet and a
magic flute. All of
which they used, you
may remember. The

good her offer. She gave two pints
of her blood to man who was
total stranger to her. And then when
they pressed upon her the money in re-
turn for her heroism she took the sum
and gave IT to the Near East Relief.
The brown eyes of Grace sought the
blue ones of her sister as their hands
met in grip of understanding.
isn't that just like Cecile Francisco?"
they demanded in one breath.
Thus it happened that the same mail
that carried the national honor for life
saving from the headquarters of the
Camp Fire Girls to Cecile Francisco
brought with it a box OF fresh chocolate
bon-bons.
And thus it happened that Cecile Fran
cisco wired to the Brown sisters:
Thanks for the bon-bons Don't de-
serve them, really. Can't have them ur
til health chart finished"
Which translated from the Camp Fire
vernacular means that Cecile Francisco
was keeping the health chart Of the
Camp Fire Girls and could not eat any
candy for the next three months.
But never mind, there'll be plenty OF
sweets for Cecile Francisco when the
wedding bells ring out as they will soon

well as their hands. Their
wager was--that one of them
could bring more young
women into the Camp Fire
fold than the others. So each
started out in her own way
to win the 5on-bons.
There was nothing strange
in three debdtantes thinking
of girls as girls all over the
world and I;t just as Mary,
Ellen and Mile. Men always
like to say to women that
they cannot maintain a con-
versation which centers

than her sister with definite dimple in
her chin, also rose and said:
How do you do?"
But when the name of Cecile Francisco
was called, square built blondish young
woman appeared from far corner OF
the room and shyly said:
I'm not Miss Francisco, but how do
you do? Miss Francisco was unable to
come at th@ last moment and sent me
instead. She-she-I don't know whether
I'm supposed to tell, but I know you'll
want to know after you know-just why
Miss Francisco couldn't come on to the
conference"

only sincerity and simplicity of express
sion can give, the substitute from Kansas
