Interest at the opening session
of the D. A. r. continental con-
gress centered around the four
personal pages to Mrs. Alfred J.
Brosseau, president general. AL
through the the great han were
questions concerning the where
abouts of Miss Florence Trum-
bull, daughter of the Governor
of Connecticut and fiancee of
John Coolidge.
The pages were distinguished
by their hats. Miss Trumbull was
the girl In the gray hat. Miss
Bina May Deneen wore the big
blue picture hat. Miss Phyllis
Hight wore the little blue hat
and Miss Hester Ann LeFevre
wore the black chapeau.
kkA
Colonel Ladue's comment on
the bright and smiling face" of
washington was not apropos of
the weather.
The radio audience which heard
Mrs. Brosseau's address to the
D. A. r. failed to intimidate Mrs.
Brosseau. She had promised to
say all the things she wanted to
for the past three years and she
did.
She asked delegates who could
not hear to wave their handker.
chiefs. She was almost forced to
wave her own when addressing
the assembly, as she could not
speak in such great confusion"
Those listening on the radio
were probably mystified by her
side remarks such as "close those
CoorS."
Flowers were presented to Mrs.
Brosseau by the children of the
American Revolution, represented
by a small boy and girl in Co.
lonial costumes. The little boy
was so overwhelmed by his un-
accustomed outfit that he nearly
fell off the stage, while the little
girl thoroughly enjoyed the ap-
piause.
Many Of the daughters were
lost in the vast auditorium. One
of the ladies became confused
and tried to crawl through the
door to the orchestra pit and was
very unsuccessful. A map in the
program guided many Of the lost
delegates.
The proceedings Of the D. A. r.
convention will be broadcast from
8:16 to 10 o'clock tonight from
station WJSV, It was announced
today.
The North Carolina Society of

And, of course, he blamed Mrs Reddy.
Somehow, Mrs. Reddy had failed. She
must have. He wished then that he
had chosen to lead the dog away.
Reddy glared hungrily up at the tur-
keys. There was lot of low talk among
them. There was lot of shifting posi-
tons to make themselves comfortable;
and there wasn't a thing that Reddy
could do. Finally he stole back the
way he had come. Mrs. Reddy was

Il know it," replied Mrs. Reddy.
You see, although hurried as fast as
could, by the time 1 got around the
corner of that barn, that dog had gone
in the barn and he didn't come out.
There wasn't thing 1 could do. And
then the farmer came out of the house,
so there was nothing for me then but
to dodge out of sight. It was just our
hard luck. But the turkeys are still

And they are going to stay right up in

we going to do?"

Reddy. well. let's go hunt for those
mice. My stomach is so empty that
I've got to have something in 1t pretty

Now. there Is one thing about the
little people of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows that we humans
might profit by. They don't waste time
thinking about disappointment. They
have so many of them that perhaps
they are used to them Reddy and
Mrs. Reddy went to hunt mice and said
no more about their disappointment IN
not having a turkey dinner. And they
planned to try the same scheme again.
It had proved a failure this time, but
the next time they might have better
luck.
