H. Tammeus, five years. life Story Of ^ toilette Low The Interest in Scouting for girls has bean growing by leaps and hounde4n the McHenry community In the past two or three years. For this reason, plus the fact that this season of the year is especially devoted to Scout activities such as the Girl Scout pageant next week, the Plaindealer is running a series of three articles on the history of the Girl Scout movement. The following concerns its founder. Juliette Low: On a January day in 1912, a woman on the deck of the S.S. Arcadian was walking swiftly as though her impatient footsteps IMld hasten the ship on to extra knots so that she might get to the United States more quickly. This Woman was bringing an importlint gift to the girls of Savannah, Ga., her native town.-all America, and all the world. The gift was an idea of her, high-powered imagination. „ On her arrival, she shared her idea with Nina Pape a friend. She literally descended on an unsuspecting continent with a determination to move the mountains of indifference and. preoccupation until on* day there was the Girl Scouts, a ^bing concern. Juliette Low was born in 1860, second of six children, to Captain and Mrs. William W. Gordon, of Savannah, christened Juliette, the little girl was nicknamed Daisy for the reason that she looked like a daisy with fair hair that was like a fringe of petals around her •mall, charming face. After the war, Daisy's home in Savannah was restored and the family returned to live in it. She began to ahow signs of a busy organizer; she poured loving-kindness on anybody, anything, that was weak or oppressed.. Her charities probaMv were a real strain on her famify. She brought home •tray cats and dogs and pinned warm blankets around cows she thought needed comfort. She organised a club called The Helpful Hands which her brother named The Helpless Hands; it- was a sewing club pnd Daisy couldn't sew. The club was formed for the purpose of giving help to .the world. Daisy was aggressive and got into serapes. She was strong-willed. hot-tempered. She told the truth and took her punishment without holding grudges. When a young lady she fell in love with ja young Englishman named William Low. As Mrs. Low she lived among great families of princes. In 1886 she was engaged in a busy life though she suffered illness and wee already to carry the affliction of deafness through life. She was a famous hostess and. with her husband carried on a groat international campaign known as Food Across the Sea. Before long, she had Piccadilly •hops stocking American dishes which they couldn't have unless Willie Low furnished them. When Mr. Low's health failed and deep sorrow came to Daisy's heart, her interest in girl guilding began. Among friends such as Sir Robert (now Lord) and Agnes Baden-Powell, her high-powered imagination siezed on the idea of bring girl guiding (now Girl Scouting) to Savannah, to America and eventually to the world.
