However, we hnd scarcely go well into the park before we came not " a‘group of little girls. ranging in age from 6 to 10 years, I suppose. They were having a happy time of It romping and shouting. As soon as we came upon them they recognized the young'woma’n with me, but with the shyness 0! youth were rather inclined to ignore us. Here is where a bright ‘ldea came into my head. and. calling to jthe children, I asked them it they did ‘not know ‘teacher' and had not a vel- come for her. They indicated that they did know 'teacher' and were glad to see her.
