(Special.) IJttle Lillian Emerson,
the S-ycar-old dancin? sprite who.
by Toyal Cmratnd, waa bidden to ap
pear at Marlborough House. London,
by Queen Alexandra on the occasion
of tbe birthday of Princess Victoria,
when there assembled a royal gather
ing: made up of the Dowager Empress
f Russia, ex-Kine Manuel of Portugal
and his wife, the Queen of Greece,
Prince Christopher of Greece and the
Prince of Wales, appeared before -the
largest feathering asHembled at the his
toric Horticultural Hall in Philadelphia
December 18. 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?

methods of reform," said Mr. Jeffrey,

some work, in the open if possible, so
as to bring them in close contact with
nature, and to give them good whole
some food and sanitary surroundings."
