Juliette Low knew many of the great men of England and America, she was a talented sculptor, loved games, songs and stories, but most of all, says her niece, she loved girls. She was deaf, and in her later years handicapped by illness, but she worked unceasingly to bring Scout ing to the girls of America. WITH CHER PM Toniaht Is the nlsht that O. O.
