They've betn having a brief re- union—and Williams Jennings Bry- an’s daughter Ruth and her daugh- ter Ruth, and her daughter Ruth, all, had neat and alluri manu- scripts to read to each otk Granddaughter Rutn is only 11 years old, but the Children's Page cf a Florida paper-has been publish- | ing her stories and poems since she was six; and her hand-painted output has a decidedly professional air. Madame Minister made her travel book debut during last year with “Leaves of a Greenland Diary,” a vi- vid, impressionable tale written day by day as che voyaged about that little-known land. Its popularity brought a call for onother such story—-and another sea voyage on her annual leave to this country gave “Denmark Caravan” its start. For American boys and girls of twelve to fifteen, or thereabouts, | it is designed to capture the romance old Danish'ca s, and Danish nds even older. Mrs. Lehman Writes Well A hundred small sketches by Hed- vig Oollint, Danish artist, will help these tales introduce young Amer- ica to the quaint Dutch church which hops a cock's step every Christmas| to get away from a cliff crumbling | into the sea; the infant Danish King of medieval times who was carried by a pet monkey to the roof of his castle; Holger Danske, who could tend an iron bar with his handshake; and that amazing castle where 20 maiden ladies of the nobility live as guests of a Queen who died 300 years ago.

Altogether, it ‘caused the eritics to recall her grandfather had been called “silver-tonzued.” Mrs. Lehman’s daughter, Ruth ox the thick golden hair, writes sturdy, swash-buckling stories of wild fights in the dark of lonely castles; hero- ines who ride rashly into the ‘desert to be caught by Mexican bandits, and the doings of super-intelligent animals she has known. But she can also paint a mural to womanhood and one of her own favorites prob« ably) would find favor with many husbands. It . concerned a “Missis Orange” who had “run out of hats.” “She had fell:in love with the new stiles, the hats that cover your eyes and all that sort of junk,” the young author narrated. She told of the trip ©f Mrs. Orange to a millinery } store where ‘‘she saw a hat it had like ears on each side of it. She tried it on but alas, it was much- too big: it covered her whole face. Mrs, Orange was next to heartbroken.” Other details of the hat-hunt were given with this observation. *“I shouldn’t be surprised if she tried on every hat in the shop.” To a tea next.day “Missis Orange” wore one of several purchases, but relentless Author.Ruth described her entrance thus: the ladies-at the tea” at this “worst looking hat” so *“Mrs. Orange got Tid of the idea of mew hats and stuch to hegiown,’ § 3 “A big sie was heard from all B 2 FDOT o 7 | Being Organized MAN, GOING 1 e 5 70 BE STAR PARIS, Nov. 8. — Lengwre of Nations’ Red Cross Societies an- neunced that all-men ambu- Floyd DeHeer. of Univer- sity of Towa, Headed for Honored Place Red Cross Units lance units for Ethiopia are being organized in several countries. | The Ethiopian Red Oross | atked for airplane and automo- | bile ambulances, medicines and funds amounting to $50,000 monthly, It was suggested that no women nurses be assigned.
