Bishop Cross has defined the ideal social service
worker who combines efficiency with
Christian spirit. The urge to do something worth
while in the world has lead Mrs. Robert Jay Lee
the threshold of the Washington Chidren's
Home Henceforth a part of every day will be
devoted to work for children something that sends
one to bed at night more satisfied than the rubber

earned after the hour of service for others
woman with plenty of leisure, plenty of the
worlds goods, devoted to children. Mrs Lee may
give whoe-souled devotion to the new work she is
taking up Her interest in the Home dates back
to the fall of 1927. when she organized Auxiliary
Number One of the Washington Childrens Home.
The Auxiliary made up of group of young society
matrons, has been of unlimited service to the Home
and through their efforts the little children who
find their way there have enjoyed much of comfort
that otherwise might not have been
Miss Mary Sibbett who took charge the
superintendent of child placing at the Home short

Auxiliary her righthand. She had come to spo-
kane after years of social service work in Pha-
delphia where chdren's work is highly organ.
lied Finding the Home inadequate to the
needs of the age she has so much appreciated the
efforts of the young women who through the sacri.
flee of time and money are responsible for the
entire interior Of the Home having new paper and
paint, floor coverings and window draperies.
Mrs Lee, through her interest in this work,
obliged to spend much time at the Home and there
saw how swamped with work Miss Sibbett is,
though her spirit is reflected in every corner of
the place. so she made the offer of her time which
accepted by the board with much pleasure
Mrs Lee will in addition to keeping charge of
club activities in the interest of the Home assist
with the bookkeeping and the records and be
hostess at the Home in the mornings. Along with
the new form of child care Miss Sibbett has intro
duced here is the fact that guests welcome at
the Home any day at any time. Gone are those

The Board and the Auxiliary and the friends OF

them that they in turn must do for others. She

has taught them that every one in Spokane is inter
ested in them and is willing to do for them and
that they must always be on the look out for
chance to help others less fortunate than they
The Auxiliary made it possible both last year
and this, for the children TO do some Christmas
shopping. Strange it may seem on these great
adventures some of the children held in their
hands their first halfdoar and stranger still not
of them held back or even expressed a wish
to spend some of it for himself For them there
greater joy in the privilege of giving than in
receiving.
How UNNECESSARILY this sort of teaching may
raise ones selfrespect Just the suggestion trans
plants to higher plane!
On this page group of the children are shown
with their Christmas gifts the gifts of sympathetic
friends who. acting Miss Sibbett's advice, pool
ed their money that each child may have one of
the treasured gifts
Suitcases they are. Suitcases How many of us
would ever think of such thing when seeking
gift for child but nothing could give the chill

and such feeling of independence as the little
key all his very Every child has some
treasure, his dead mothers picture, bundle of

latter may go into the joint bureau drawer where
there is neither secrecy nor privacy but suitcase

further thought that ones treasures are not safe!

Rich in legendary lore, the Northwest is proving
fertile field for its literary and daughters,

trails Ii is fitting that true daughter of the
Northwest, Mourning Dove of the Okanogans should

people.

private life Mrs Christina Caller of Omak, Wash
ington, and, far IT is known, is the first In

"Coge-wea," romantic tale of the great Mon

the life story of Mourning Dove. herself, of her
desire to help her unhappy race, her longing for

Working single-handed for a
 number of months past Andrew Jacobsen, tie-hacker located at the site of the fish hatchery on the shores of Grouse Lake and which plant went up in a cloud of smoke two winters ago,
