I SECOND NEWS SECTION PAGES 1 TO 8 Society, Editorial, Churches, General Nevs and Classified SIXTIETH YEAR SALEM, OREGON, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 21, 1920 PRICE: FIVE CENTS 2 SOCIETY NEWS OF THE WEEK 7 i BY MOLLY BRUNK T HE calendar for the week, shows a numbed of unusually inter esting affairs, although it could not be called a busy week socially speaking. The Monday Night club's dance, was easily the largest affair of the week, and also one of the most delightful contributions. The affairs complimenting Miss Marjorie Kir. bride-elect, were other things of social note. The end of the week presented a city that brought to memory The Deserted Village," for everybody and everybody's friend had motored to Corrallls to witness the Oregon-O. A. C. football game. Next week we shall have our own home-coming, and instead of all the young and older folk hurrying away for Eugene, Corvallis r Portland we shall have those who are away at school, or who save married and taken up their residences elsewhere, returning t spend a few days at least Thanksgiving under Salem vines and fig trees. There Is also the state music teachers' convention, and the Teachers' Institute that will bring another large group of out-of-town people here. SINCE the publishing of the first chapter in tLe Atlantic monthly "Journal of an Understanding Heart." by Opal Whitely, dis cussion concerning it has never abated, and now that the "Story of 071 really oat, the original sensation has been eclipsed' in the present furore that the book is creating both here and abroad. Maesfield and Lord Gray have .succumbed to its charm, the latter who wrote the preface to the book, asserting that in his mind i it I not a matter of authenticity, bat of its place in literature, for literature of the first rank he considers it. i j Oregonians, of course, feel a personal Interest in Opal and fer work, because of the fact that she is an Oregon girl, and her story finds its setting here. Latest interest locally is aroused over the disclosure that the State Library has many letters on file from the author, which represents a number of years of her life in a Southern Oregon lumber camp. The earlier years are written with growing maturity both of letter form and manner, until the hand writing develops through various childish changes to her present chlrograpby. Miss Cornelia Marvin, state libraran. ealy noted the child's Inclination for natural history and kindred subjects, and through several year carried an extensive correspondence with Opal, in which be suggested hooks to read and study, and directed her literary adeavors in general. Two of Opal's letters follow, revealing the early tendency of her Bind and effort. The first is dated Dorena, Jan. 6th, 1913 and the Mcond. Star, Sept. 8th, 1914: Dear Miss Marvin: "I appreciate the little hook about the publications of the United States Gelooglcal Survey which, yon sent me. I wrote , to Mr. Hawley for a number of these, publications, which I received about three weeks ago. -; - - I desire to take up as my life work the training and teaching of children. ' I want also, to teach, them about the beauties of God's ntdools, of the birds, trees, flowers. Of insects, shells and rocks. I want to help them to be a blessing to the world, to make the hearts of their parents glad, and to grow injto a noble pure manhood fid womanhood. Would you please send me a list of books with Illustrations about flowers and about birds? Also other nature hooks? And would you please tell me what the postage or expresr tag on tese books would be? I desire to write for other people the lessons I have learned from little children and of the great things I have gained from Cod's outdoors, and to write tor little children. Could you tell me t two or three good books on this subject which would he well for a beginner to study? " I have a great many child-friends and I keep their sayings and lilOa stories of their daily life in note books for future reference. Ihavalound this rery helpful. ' : - Thank you for writing me about the geology books. I wonld be gla&ta get some of these later in the spring and in- the summer; I havfovst tour hundred rocks which I have collected from the hill sides, flblds and river. My teacher thought it best that I should not take p geology as a regular study till next summer and then I know I will enjoy it very much as I love the study or nature. I am not-getting any books from any loan library at present. although our teacher Miss Lily Black who often gets books irom you is sending, for a library of histories, and a few books which will help us in our study of physical geography and will help me with my collection of rocks for this districV I would appreciate these favors in lists of books etc very much, ud would take the best of care of the books.
