At this time she danced for the relief fund to aid the people of the warrinjr nations. She is a true Illustration for those who bellere in reincarnation, a perfect expression of Nature, and. above all. a real child, a sweet, lovable baby, who, when her dancing is over, drops her look- of transport and. laugKing glee fully, picks up her kitten or her sim ple toys and begs you to play with her or tell a fairy story. Jier greatest Joy is to be happy and to dance to light music among the trees and birds and butterflies and flowers. She has danced in the homes of Mrs. Benjamin Guinness, Mrs. Otto Kahn, Mrs. William R. Coe. Miss Elsie De Wolf. Mrs. Elbert Gary. Mrs. B. N. Puke, Mrs. Thursby and Miss Emma Destin. In Paris, where little Lillian enter tained a select few, Enesco, one of the foremost of French composers, was as tounded by the display of genius which he witnessed at a dance recital. When the folks of Nassau County, Long Island, were busy raising funds for the Nassau County Hospital, Clar ence Mackey sent all the way to North Carolina, the home of Lillian, asking her to come north to aid him by dan cing at the charity affair. An artist. "M. M. T.," who has seen the little fairy dar.ee, eulogizes her as follows: Oh little bo".y that th! earth has known But ix short year, what star has sent you here Cut out of the Vastness of another Sphere To sound upon Life's harp a perfect tune? Is that great soul within you. yours alone Or does some Jealous aneel stand too near Lest man should learn perfection from those t'ear . Blue, childish eyes instead of at God s thrnnn ? Ah, no! Intelligence is God, and those who see ' Its purest work made manifest in man Once in a lifetime, quickly bow the knee Before what we call genius.- Those who can Look on unmoved, need all eternity To learn the truth ere they the stars may scan.

The message of the General Federa tion president, Mrs. ' Percy V. Penny packer, to the California Federation of Women's Clubs, contains some inspir ing thoughts just as appropriate for the Oregon women. She urges that special attention be given this year to these three points: "First Give wide publicity to the work undertaken by your State Feder ation and also by the General Federa tion. The ignorance that exists con cerning our plans, our ideals and our accomplishments is amazing. "Second Nothing is more vital than the improvement of our rural schools. A more permanent tenure or onice on the part of the teacher is aosoruteiy necessary to bring about this better ment. A home for the teacher or teacherages as they are called near by the school building will give a feel ing of permanency sooner than any thing else. Let it be our privilege to take the lead in establishing at least! one teacherage In each county. "Third Continue to welcome youth Into the Tanks. Let no opportunity pass to make the young women of your community feel that there Is a place for them in our work. Within the next two vears may we not hope to add thousands of well-trained young women to our clubs?
