Dear Miss Grey: I hope very much to reach, thru your| columns, some kindly disposed person who is going to Pitts- burg, Penn., or Chicago within the next week. To make a long story short, I wish them to chaperane a dear little 5-year-old C hinese girl who is blind. : I am a mis- siunary and ‘had this tot with me for two years in the mis- sion at Shi Hung, and brought her across with me last week | on the Empress of Japan. A woman missionary friend of mine in Pittsburg has adopted her and she w7ll be educated in America; but, the problem is how to get her to her foster- mother, as the railway officials advise me they cannot be re- sponsible for her. I do not feel that I can make the trip at this time, and neither can the woman who has taken her come out here to get her. I will pay for her sleeper and her meals on the tourist car, | and also remunerate whoever will care for her. She is a very sweet, patient little girl, and gives practically no trouble, as anyone who would see her might realize, I have advertised in all of the papers, but do not seem to be able to reach the} right sort of people. iss Grey, if you can and will print my letter, you will be} oing a real act of Christian kindness, I want to add, if I could even get in touch with parties a. | as far as Chicago who would take her with them, I could} wire some of my friends there to meet her at the train, and thus take her the rest of the way. If such a person reads this they may get in touch 7%, me by calling Rainier 990-R.

Of course, none of us want the) photographer to make us look like ourselves when we get a picture taken, That's why we have it done every five years. It helps us to kid ourselves along and make us think, ‘we, among al! of our friends, are the ‘only ones that are not growing old.

Just think how the man must have worked for the public good?” I love election time, and I love to make little collections of picture eards that are handed out to you if you look 21 and have a vote, but I'll be hanged if I can sea why a man) doesn’t get his picture taken ax he| is, so you won't be so disappointed when you take a good look at hiv face.
