From the Writings of the Founder | The Writer Remembers - Quite Well Charles Dickens’ reception in Philadelphia at Concert Hall, Chestnut above Twelfth, many years ago. He came in late and stayed long after reading a part of “The Old Curiosity Shop” and other pieces, and then shook the hands of all who were presented to him, We could hardly forgive him for his “American Notes,” but he was sorry for them afterwards, and it was the fault of snobs who were near him and misrepresented America. ‘ Let us forget what we do not like and remember him for “Little Nell’s” sake and for this verse at- tributed to him: “The timid hand stretched forth to aid A brother in his need; The kindly word in grief’s dark hour, _That proves a friend indeed; The plea for mercy, softly breathed, When justice threatens high; The sorrow of a contrite heart— These things must never die.” Christmas time is a good time to forget old differ- ences, and prove it by something you can easily say or do. Don’t think it over too long. Just do something that puts things right. (Signed) JM yj 4 THE FASHION SALONS For Miss 14 to 20 “Last-minute”?
