Dear Dora:

Dear Dora:
There is scarcely any time to
be set aside Cor letter writing this
week. Don't ever move to Vashon
Island if you expect to find "rest
and quiet for it is about the bus
lest place you could ever live in
However, energy here is being eX-
pended in worthwhile ways. This
was emphatically impressed upon
my mind yesterday. and | do want
to tell you about it before anoth-
er day goes by, | have explained
some to you, | believe, about our
Orthopedic hospital in Seattle. 1t
is maintained for the benefit of
crippled and afflicted children,
and with the aid of the best sur
geons available and the mtiring
efforts of organized guilds and
co-workers. Marvellous cures are
being made. There are many
sources by which money is OBJ
tanned to carry on this work, but
| want to tell you Of one and it is
the Orthopedic Lunch Room. Yes
terday, Tuesday, was the day set
aside for the Vashon Auxiliary to
serve. 1t takes about eighteen or
twenty ladies to do the work. The
only paid help are the cook, her
assistant, and a dish washer.
The rest of the work is done by
the members of guilds and aux
iliaries. We have members in
every community on the Island.
and it is not an easy task to al
ways get in communication with
everyone, but all who could go
with us on Tuesday were so will
ing, as no one refuses to do Or
thopedic work.
In order to be at the lunch
room on time i was necessary to
leave on the seven O'Clock boat.
This, Of course, caused a great
many to leave their downy bed
about five in the morning. Ev-
cry one assembled cn the dock
with a smile and a CHEEKY greet
ing in the pouring-Gown rain.
There was not boat in sight.
Finally it was learned that the
ferry was I'D for repairs, and a
small PASSENGER boat would soon
call for US. Miss Dysart, our
| president, was laden with flowers
| from the lo;ely gorden of Mrs.
Alex Stewart. nv ese were used
to decorate the tales of the lunch
room and placed artistically all
about the rooms. Everyone re-
marked how beautiful they were.
When we arrived everyone was
put to work preparing sandwich

The Island lodies certainly have
a knack of doing just whatever
work they are assigned to do. |

COVE COMMENTS
&C. A. Renouf)

We are mighty glad to see Mes
sers Smock and Wenham running
our local newspaper craft once
more. 1t takes expert knowledge
these days to keep such craft
afloat and in the running. Soon
after the late (unlamented) crew
took charge we had hunch that
things were going askew, and lat
cr were certain Of it, when with
lee shore abeam, and the storm
signals up, they commenced Jet
tisoning the literary cargo. But
now the old experienced crew are
once more in charge we will see
the good ship weather cape de-
spair ON the starboard and cape
Doubt on the port, and make for
open water and safety.
The Republican meeting at Col
vas hall last Friday was well at
tended. The expected speaker
from Seattle was unable to attend
but we did not miss him, as the
chairman, Mr.. Shipley, is capa-
BE speaker and gave Mr.. La Fol
lette some hard rubs. Perfection
is not in human nature and folks
will east their votes for who they
consider the best men, regardless
of party. Captain McClinton
turned the searchlight on the ref
erendum, principally the Bone bill
and 40 mill limit. If the hall had
been as well illuminated as the
subjects under discussion we
would have been able to see the
speaker clearly; however the gen.
ial captains profile stood out soft
ened by pastel shades against the
rays of Mr.. Clements lantern.
And one can hear as well in the
dark as in the light. The next
meeting will be this Friday even
inc at the Cove Community Hall,
s p. IN. sharp.
The dance at the Community
hall last Saturday was great sue
cess Resides the usual local con-
tingent, quite few Vashon folks
favored us with their presence.
Mrs. Crozier managed the affair,
and what Mrs. Crozier undertakes
she carlies through with eclat
French for pep. Close on forty
dollars was the net outcome to be
devoted to the Improvements con-

Martin Tjomsland will do the
building and Mr.. Dannewig will
install the fire place. so it's guar
antced that their joint efforts will
result in an up to date improve
ment.
Also in addition, water has been
piped to the kitchen and a sink
installed so that we will be up to

to follow. The building is really

BRINGING UP CHILDREN

friends with mother, but all I can ad- wise is patience, and above everything else, don't go about this questioning in a hostile manner. Treat your daugh- ter as you would friend of your own. advise few "Don'ts."
 1. Don't forbid your daughter to go with any girl-give your child the credit of having some judgment, be- cause no sooner than you forbid a thing, you can be sure it is going on every time you turn your back, and this develops deceit; reason rather than forbid.
 ?. Don't mimic a girl friend of your daughters. It is not fair to either daughter or friend, and it promotes hypocrisy.
 3. Don't show favoritism to any one girl friend. If you prefer one to the other, don't show it. Don't think your daughter will follow your example she will do just the opposite.
 4. Don't encourage your daughter to- mix with girls more than year or so older htan, herself. By this you pre- vent her becoming old too much before her time.
 5. Don't hold up one of your daugh- ters friends as model child. She will learn to hate this particular girl.
 Now, I have mentioned plenty of "Don'ts." Avoid them and follow the Dos" and your children's friends will be of the right kind. By this I don't mean only the good girls should be your daughters friends, because one must have some bad in order to see how distasteful bad things are, but the good must always hold the majority, at least where friends are concerned.
