THE first time I saw Sigrid she was playing on the beach and digging her fat toea into the warm sand. She had arrived -with her mother from I her home at Bozeman, Mont., to spend 1 the Summer at Seaside, and as we had fr very great many things in common, 1 such as bear stories and building aand : houses, hunting for shells and racing ' along the beach, to say nothing of the ' times we exchanged confidences. Sigrid and I came to be great pals. She was the dearest love-baby I ever saw, fat, and health-, and fairly bubbling over with the Joy of living. I was a loyal admirer of the mature mind In the baby head, and when the halcyon days ended and we all came back to the city Sigrid and T had many Jaunts In and about Port land before she went home. One day we went out to the Baby Home, away out on too Waverly -Richmond line. There are a lot of youngsters out there who are motherless and father less and have none of the things that a lucky star provided for Sigrid when she came into the world nine years ago. On this particular visit, we stayed for an hour or more playing with the babies and when I left Sigrid with her mother the incident was of the past. But about a month ago, came a letter from Boze man in a round childish hand, wanting me to And out how many babies at the Home were old enough to play with dolls. I ascertained through the Matron that there were 22, sent Sigrid the de sired information, and promptly forgot the matter. But alie didn't, and last week an immense box was left for m by the expressman and in it I found 23 dolls, each in a separate box. each dressed and ready for some baby "mother" at the Home. And later came a letter with a dollar bill tucked inside "to buy some candy for the babies," to quote the donor. It isn't that all of us would not do the same kind of an act If we could, for we'd all like to shine as philanthropists, but what makes me take off my hat to a baby girl in Bozeman, Mont., is that having for herself all the goods the gods can bestow, she is not at all selfish and has learned even now, that It is more blessed to give than to receive. And so that is why and how the 2 oldest babies at the Home will each have a doll for Christmas. News Notes of Portland High Schools Hst Side. MBS.
