Once Lived In HaiIOWell

An interesting fact brought out at
the last meeting of Current Events

David Lee Child. They both came
under the influence of Garrison and
interested themselves definitely and
vigorously in the slavery move
ment, this alternating many of their
friends. Mrs. Childs had edrly liter
airy ambitions and published a novel,
"Hobmok" in 1921. Her best known
anti-slavery article was "An Appeal
for that Glass of Americans Called
Africans" Two of her books, Let
