Il SoYs Here


Julie Hayden, the actress, has
written a book consisting OF love
letters TO her dog. IT'S a sequel 10
"A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" It's
called, every Deg Has It's Day."
But I imagine Il would be q
wonderful book to read curled up
In front OF the fireplace fiibbling
on a dog biscuit. I bought a copy
and hrowsed through u. The pages
weren't only dog-eared, but when
I got TO The last chapter, it bit me.
The letters didn't end, "love and
kisses, Julie" at the bottom OF
them she had Just drawn q little
series of red hearts.
But Miss Hayden can get into q
lot OF trouble with this sort Of
thing. In fact, I've heard that a
cocker spaniel is already suing
her for alienation of affections.
But II the idea Of writing 10 our
four-footed friends catches on, It's
going TO be bad. Think OF the NUM-
Der Of threatening letters Crosby's
horses win geti But It won't do
any good. The kind Of horses he
has is 50 dumb, lt can't read any
way.

presbyterian Outlook"
An Appropriate Memorial

The endowment of a room in James
Walker Memorial Hospital by the chill
dren of Mrs. Ida Solomon is a peculiar
ly appropriate gesture in view of Mrs.
Solomon's long volunteer service to the
institution in it's earlier years and unre-
hitting interest in it's development
throughout her life.
The hospital board announces an
appropriate plaque will be placed in the
room, but that is not the whole benefit
of the endowment. When Mrs. Solomon
died in 1914, she left a sum of money
in trust to James Walker. The interest
was assumed at the time to be sufficient
to provide perpetual care of the room,
But labor and materials have advanced
so greatly in the meantime that the be-
quest proved inadequate. With their
customary generosity, and the tender
memories they have for their public
spirited mother, the children have sup
plemented the amount with a sufficient
gift to provide for all needs that may
arise for continuous care of room 321,
in the south wing of the hospital.
The gift is typical of the Solomon
family.
