. . Mary Berry.
To be an influence in a great life
is a great thing. Miss Mary Berry,
who" died in London in 1852, was
the last link between the 'closing
18th century and the mid-Victoria
era. She was an authoress and
gloried in being the correspond
ent of Horace Walpole. Indeed, this
celebrated gentleman made her a
fervent offer of his heart and his
hand, but Miss Mary Berrv declined
the honor. With her sister she took
up her abode at Twickenham, near
Strawberry Hill, Walpole's estate. It
was Miss Mary Berry who prevailed
upon Walpole to give to the world
nis tamous Keminiscences ot the
Courts of George I and II. Brave
as a lion, she defended the name of
Walpole before the savage attacks
ot Macaulay in the Edinburgh Re
view. We owe to her some of the
most charming "Letters of Wal
pole.

The next morning the old farmer
came in from his milking and found
his son sitting on the stile and sing

no such thing as work. .
"Why, you young rascal," said the
exasperated sire, "this is worse than
sleeping. What do you mean by
loafing on that stile and singing at
the top of your voice?".
The lad grinned.

Easy Way to Keep
Your Hair in Curl
If you have trouble keeping your hair
in curl, you'll do well to try plain liquid
silmerine. Apply a little at night with a
clean tooth brush, drawing this down the
full length of the hair from root to tip.
The hair will dry in the prettiest waves
and curls that you can arrange, and the
effect will appear altogether natural. In
stead of that dull, dried-out look which
the heated iron gives, the hair will be
bright, lustrous and beautiful.
Liauid Bllmenne is of course nerfeetlv
harmless to hair and scalp, and is neither
greasy nor gummy. If you will get a few
ounces from your druggist you will find it
quite inexpensive to use. ,

charge of the sewing class for seven
years. The children drop 1 cent
into the little pasteboard mite box
as they enter the room. That is
the weekly fee for instruction.
Work begins with such songs as
"Nobody Knows but Mother" and
"Scatter Sunshine," sung in the best
of bnghsh by children of Italian,
Turkish and other foreign par
entage. Little groups numbering six or
more gather around tables and for
each table there is a teacher. Mrs.
Lenora Dietz. Nelson is one of the
assistants in the sewing 'class. She
is a devoted worker in all that per
tains to the City Mission and de
clares she can scarcely keep herself
away from the work there to be
done. Mrs. H. L. Snyder and Mrs.
George Mickle are other interested
helpers.
Just at present there is a contest
on, and how earnestly the little
heads bow over a piece of cloth, and
how painstakingly the fingers, withj
sometimes the tongue invisible sym
pathy, twist and pull in an effort
to makg the stitches tiny and strong.
The cloth used by the sewing class
is furnished by the Mission and the
finished garments are the property
of the maker.'
"I 'want to take this book home
and show my mother the pictures,"
said one small boy. "Yes ma'am I'll
wash my hands before I read it."
"The books don't last long said
Miss Louise White, librarian. Many
of the children's books have only
paper covers and they are not given
the best of care in the homes. It
is sometimes found when the chilr
dren's books are due and not re
turned, that it is mother or even the
father who is keeping the book to
read." -
Miss White's assistants in the
City Mission library include Carita
O'Brien, Emily Keller, Florence
Russell, Hilda Hammer, Mrs. Ross
Towle and Mrs. George Thummel.
Every Saturday afternoon finds
them at their post of duty, giving
out books to the dozens of boys and
girls who crowd atound for the
volumes.
"The collection of 2,000 is greatly
in demand and we are pitifully in
need of more books," declared Miss
White. "We would gladly call for
them in anv Dart of the city ' if
notified they could be had. Maga
zines are sadly needed too for use
in making up scrap books. Coming
as they do from the' Latin race, the
little children who use our library
fairly cry for fairy tales. They are
an imaginative people, you know."
Cooking Class.
Not only are habitues of the
City Mission taught singing, sewing
and encouraged to read good books,
but cooking is included. Instruction
is confined to the simpler gnd the
American dishes. Miss Helen Walk
er, one of the instructors says many
of the children know no American
dishes. "But how quickly they
learn," she declares. "Tell them
something once and they know it.
To look at them you would think
they learn with their eyes, so wide
open and centered they are on the
work. "We made baking 'powder
biscuits one day," said Miss Walk
er, "and the one idea of the little
girls was to go home and make
them there."
Thus is the great lesson of Americanization-taught.
Thus are our
American ideals at their best in
