little stove. Would you, could you,
please sell it to me?"
Mr.. Conrad said well, Gin (ny
nickname), you know I also have
a little girl. I thought l might give
it to her"
My eyes filled with tears and my
heart sank. Mr.. Conrad being very
kind man relented and asked, "Gin,
how much can you pay for the
stove?"
told him I had whole dollar
but maybe / could get some more
from my mother. Smiling, he pulled

the canvas off the stove and said,
s'Take it, Sweetheart, the stove is
yours"
Ever since it has been ''Gin's"
stove. Even my brother, Frank, and
his pals, Charlie Conrad and Jim
Stanford, would take the little stove
out on the prairie, in small Cooper
wagon to play cowboys camping out.
1t didn't matter if the fried pota-
toes were raw and the fire hard to
keep going. It was a thrill to those
boys.
THE TIN KITCHEN Tin picture

kitchen is rare. When new it was
bright and shiny and equipped with
spoons, pans and coal scuttle. What
a delight it was for me to pump real
water from the little green pump.
It is on the extreme right and not
clearly visible in the picture.

Il ~GHk Girl Il OH Tort Benton

1 WAS BORN and raised in Old
Fort Benton, on the banks of the
Missouri. There I lived in small
adobe house on Baker street, played
on the banks Of the river l loved
and watched the ferry boat crossing
back and forth on it.
The ferry landing was right in
front of my fathers drug store and
our greatest excitement was the ar
rival of the steamboats, from st.
Louis or Bismarck as they came to
anchor at Bakers levee. I sat on the
river bank and wondered what the
steamboat had in store for me.
These toys, pictured on this page,
are few of the playthings that arr
rived on the steamboats, and de-
lighted my heart as child. After
childhood days were over these old
toys were walled up in our attic for
many years. Later in remodeling the
house I came upon my old treasures
and thought some old timers might

pioneer child and her toys.
THE LITTLE "CHARTER OAK"
STOVE-I lived across the street
from I. G. Baker & Co.'S big store.
There was a large warehouse where
freight from the steamboats, was
stored. Mr.. Joe Conrad was in charge
of all the freight and I often went
over to talk to him. He was very
fond of children. He called me his
sweetheart.
This day when was having nice
visit with him, I spied the corner
of dear little Charter Oak stove
sticking out from under a canvas.

By Muriel Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: We have
Just moved to a suburban town
from the city. I am finding it
very difficult to make new friends,
as most of the people around
here have known each other for
years. I'm a sophomore in high
school. After school I have moth
ing to do but sit at home and
study or read. My mother says
she's tired of my moping. but I
do miss my friends in the city
and don't know what to do with
myself here. Have you any sug-
gestions? VIVIAN.
ANSWER: It does often take a
little time and patience for one
to break into a new and already
established crowd" but it GER
tainly is not the hopeless task
you make it. Your schoolmates
are just waiting to see if you
measure up to their standards be-
fore accepting you as one of them
selves. In the meantime, have
a few pointers that may help.
Proficiency in four major fields
Of personal endeavor will soon
bring you all the friends and
dates you could possibly hope for.
Here they are: Take the four
letters that spell GIRL! Let
each one remind you of a trait
you must acquire, and perfect.
These are the things you must do:
Groom, Interest. Relax, Liven!
Not too difficult an assignment.
is it?
Groom: Your appearance, OF
course, is the first thing people
notice about you. and from it they
can form the most amazing con-
clusions. If you happen to be an
habitually untidy person, you'll be
Immediately marked tabu with
particular people. So you begin
by paying meticulous attention to
the way you look. Your hair must
be clean, lustrous. shining, and
arranged simply and tidily. If you
use makeup. go easy. Don't
plaster color on cheeks that nature
has already tinted with a glowing
pink, nor waste gobs of lipstick on
youthfully red lips. Be sure your
clothes are always spotless and
pressed, your shoes shined, and
heels Strengthened. Don't go in
for extremes in anything, es-
pecia1ly when in school.
Interest: Now you have at
tracted the attention, and ap-
proval, of your schoolmaster by a
well-scrubbed and shining appear
ance. They begin to notice you ano
make conversation. Show your in
