The following is a picture of me. Not being an artist, I‘ll have to use words instead of brush and paint. I‘m going to be alone until five this a‘térnoon, and orders were left for me to stay on the main floor to take a telephone message of importance. I brought my own typewriter with me and it looks rather out of woulcn‘t trade it for the No. 8 with ail its new "fandangles". Â¥eterday was my d4th Birthâ€" day with all fixingsâ€"cards, letâ€" ters and even a telegram from my Highsnd. Park friends. Presents, flowers and the Birthday Cake. To put 84 candles on a cake would date with the Remington No. 8 (which I have pushed off onto a corn«r of the desk) mine being of the viptage of No. 1â€"But I woulcn‘t trade it for the No. 8 mean a cake several feet long and wide, if there was to be any decâ€" orations. As the cake was a senâ€" sible size there couldn‘t be many cand)s if I were to make my wish and blow them all out in ome breatn. Which I did. I‘vc.always had a hobby, and looking back I can see. myself designing quilt patterns, cutting, putting the blocks together and quilting them. Anything done with hook and knitting needles were also cn attraction. _ After both my children were off to college, I decided to try some of the things that I couldn‘t do at horce. First of all I wanted to learn to run all the machines in the Manual Training Class in the High School. Mr. Robert Schneidâ€" er, a friend of mine, was the head Thursday, Oct. 5, 1950 of the department. He told me it would cost be fifty cents to join a class. I objected to paying fifty cents, saying since it was a public school why should I pay fifty eents? He put his hands to his head and answered, "Who knows how much of the machinery will be work done in all departments, inâ€" cluding the Manual Training Beâ€" partment. The maker of the artiâ€" cles had to stand by what he or she had made. it?" things and we didn‘t do one cent‘s worth of damage. We began in We had to get Mr. Sandwick to assure the old gentleman that we two women made everything we displayed. Then he shook his head and said, ‘"‘What are the wimmens coming to?" The next year I was asked to join a ceramics class, as they had to have one more member in order to get a teacher. If you have nevâ€" er played with clay, then try it. It is one of the most fascinating Mrs. Ivy Harvey was the teacher and she can make candies also. If you ever get to taste any you will want more. My next "Joining a class" was brought about by Mrs. Elizabeth Fontaine, who came to my home, handed me a paper and said, "I want you to be the first to sign for a Writer‘s Class at the Y.W.â€" C.A." I signed, knowing anything Mrs. Fontaine started would be a success. Alice Marks had asked sure many of you.have read some of her children‘s stories and enâ€" joyed them. That was in October 1938. We had a variety of teachâ€" ers after that. Dr. Frederick Nelâ€" son Litten was one . of them and he surprised me when he asked me to meet him at his auto after class. I went out to his auto, expecting him to say in a nice gentle voiceâ€" «‘Don‘t waste any more of your time trying to write." Butâ€"He said, "You are doing O. K. Keep on and stick to simple words. I‘ll have this class another two lessons and after that you may send your stories to my home (he gave me for I coaxed another woman friend avenue, or phone HI. 2â€"1009. Class or private instruction.

He said good bye, got into his auto and Our Writing Class was asked to join the Midwestern group to be held on the Campus of the"Northâ€" was gone before I could get my breath back.

I was born in Chicago and we lived on the corner of 24th and Prairie Avenue during that awful fire in 1871. It was on my father‘s newspapers and publishers.

There seems to be for sale and father bought it. We were in the house before the first of November, a fire over that way and it is getâ€" ting worse all the time." We all rushed to the windows and there sure was a fire. Our company left in a hurry. The next week our landlord told my father the rent would be doubled the first of November. The next Sunday we went out to a new subdivision. We saw a house Tribune was about the peddlers who came to this new subdivision. Some were nice honest men and others were rascals of the deepest dye. My story won the prize. With the money I bought my cameo breast pin. I‘m often asked where and how I got it. Most cameos have a head, but mine has three dancing figures. When R.B.O. of the Highland Park Press offered the writing class space in that paper, we were all very happy. It sure gives one writing in print. This is my 100th mmma.a&--zm such ‘®â€"change has been made. The Y.W.C.A. wants the young people to use the "Y" and if I still lived in Highland .Park, I would start another writing class; and I feel some one who could R.‘B. O., and A. C. O.
