coming to America were sunk-for
the time being, anyway. Her father,
a railroad worker, had agreed to her
coming here, and the Reids had ar
ranged to house the 8-year-old girl
through q refugee committee.
MRS. Reid and I wrote to each

She said she stopped school two
years ago and began working as a

here in a coffee shop owned by
the Reids.
Sends Note on Card.
As Christmas approached last
year, her hopes of coming here
were revived. She sent a Christmas
card to the 37-year-old Mrs. Reid.
At the bottom was a note saying
she still would like to live at her
home, even if she was now II in
stead of the girl of 8 for whom
the Reids had originally planned.
Then I got a letter from Mrs.
Reid saying she would still like
me to come. I finally got here
under the immigration quota" she
explained.
Now she is busy getting acquainted
with the Reids and their 6-year-
old son Brinkley. She said she
and Mrs. Reid did not recognize
each other at the pier yesterday.

on this knowledge the amazing deo-
