Little girls growing up to-
day probably don't know what
a lye-hopper or an aSafedita
bag or even a crazy quilt looks
like and so a reader of ours,
Christine Cooper Moon, who
lives in Fayette, Mo, has
written a book sized letter to
her nam esake grandchild
c"Dear Christy'D to explain
about these and what the rest
of life in Missouri was like
for a child of the early 1900s.
No small girl of these times
is likely to live in a family
like Christine's grandparents
where after her father had
married and gone away there
still were left besides Grandpa
and Grandma in the big old
house Grandpa's mother.
Grandma's mother, one I'M
married uncle, three unmar-
ried aunts, a distant cousin
and from time to time many
other relatives who for various
reasons found themselves
homeless"
Since Grandpa's house was
Just across the pasture, there
was never any lack Of baby
sitters for Christine. Indeed.
loving volunteers WED for the
coveted Job.
Writing for her granddaugh-
ter, Christine Moon mostly re-
members tenderness, coziness
and simple good times. like
the day she walked across
fields with her grandfather
to a nearby farm and found
the old bachelor neighbor at
table with his three dogs and
two cats. The animals were
sitting on stools with bibs tied
round their necks, eating in
mannerly fashion from in
dividual dishes on the table.
Everything was an occasion
"a buggy ride with Papa, the
swarming of a hive of bees
with Grandpa in his big straw
hat and bee net coaxing the
disturbed honey-makers into
their new home without a
sting for himself or the loss
of a single bee.
Drama was supplied, too, by
incidents such as Christine
jumping from a big iron kettle
out in the backyard. landing
on a nail sticking up from a
board and running it clear |
through her bare foot. But a
home remedy, a thick coating |
of brown sugar and turpentine
bound on with strips of an old |
sheet, soon made the hurt foot |
as good as new again.
The kettle that was big
enough to hold a little girl,
Christine explains to her name
sake, was there to set over the |
fire to use for boiling |
the family wash or for making |
soap from I've and grease.
The description Of what little |
girls wore in summers Of the
early 1900s will undoubtedly |
seem excessive to the small
1855 Christy in her abbre-
waited sunsuit: pinafore over a
guimpe. two white muslin pet
ticoats trimmed with rows Of
tucks and wide all-over-em-
ruffes, and for good
even in warm weather, |
an undershirt of white wool
flannel to protect the chest
from colds. This ensemble I'm
ished off with ribbed stockings
and high-top, side-buttoned
shoes.

jointly charged with discharging
firearms within the city limits.
Frank Garvin of NV. 62nd lane

Garvin told the court that early
Sunday morning, the group pass
/ ed in front of his home in a car
going at high rate of speed and
making considerable noise. Gar
win added that the car actually
ran on the lawn in front of his
house, and that he yelled to the
Young men to get off the lawn. To
his surprise one of the men pull
ed out rifle and shot in his di-
rection. The police were called
and soon after all four of the
young men were arrested on the
general charge.
In court Monday, Judge Tho
mas asked the group just which
one did the shooting. Neither of
the men would tell who did the
shooting. Without flinching one
time, the judge sentenced the
! group to 80 days without fine.
