Show Flag Long Recognized as Promoting Loyalty r The flag has been a powerful, influence over peoples. It was in 1060 that William the Conqueror invaded England. He was the duke of Normandy, who defeated the Saxons at the battle of Hastings, and he had as his principal flag a dragon device. Later he used a white banner bordered with blue, and carrying a large cross in gold. Richard the d had a dragon standard. When Henry III came it was designed to portray the dragon in red silk, sparkling with gold, with the tongue of the beast showing flame, with eyes of sapphire. The Christian cross came to the English flag in the time of the Crusades, usually in white on a field of red. The modern Knights Templar carry a similar banner to this day, although the Black Prince used a red cross in a field of white. Saint George had a similar flag, and Saint Andrews had a white cross, and got it on the English standard when they united with Britain. King Richard I used the coat of arms of the reigning monarch. General Lafayette, who served under the American Stars and Stripes, gave the French flag its blue, white and red, He liked those colors. Now all nations have their flags, and rally round the flag is a common expression of national loyalty. Now there are men who deplore nationalism, but so far it is firmly entrenched throughout the world. New York I I j a The I SILVER ! FLUTE i J By I S Lida Larrimore j a Lion-hearte- . World-Telegra- Met Demand for Wives to Great Contentment Wives at a flat rate of 12 pounds sterling or 160 pounds of tobacco were a marketable commodity in Bermuda and Virginia three centuries ago. The project of supplying them was one of numbers undertaken by the Virginia company in 1622 to attract new investments in the company. The story is told by Henry Wilkinson in his book, The Adventurers of Bermuda. In 1622 the directors tried to infuse a little enthusiasm and to divert attention from the decrepitude of their company by starting a number There of subsidiary was one for apparell, with a capital of 1,000; one for beads, with 400; one for fur trade with the Indians, with 900; one for sending out shipwrights, with 1,000; and one for sending out to Virginia 90 maids to be wives, with 10 more for Bermuda. These ventures, for the most part, were disappointing, but the last one, at a charge to the desiring planter of 12 or 150 pounds of tobacco per maid for her outfit and passage, gave the Adventurers great joint-stock- s.

Kit is sick, but not very, just a cold and a temperature. I was worried but Kit says its an act of Providence you know the way he talks. Anyhow, Uncle Stephen will let us stay here until Kit is better, although he was provoked about us running away. I think hes getting to like ns a little.

And thats no Applesauce. PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY HEWHETTCS Kit. Aunt Lola and Uncle Herbert came today but they were very polite. I think they were impressed by Uncle Stephens home. Its very elegant, Bruce. Its built out of stone with ivy all over it and stables (only they dont have horses now) and greenhouses and lawns and gardens and lovely trees. And a butler I ! What do you think of that? Its a very educating experience to live in a house that has a name and a butler and cords with tassels to ring for the servants. There is a library just full of books and a drawing room all full of rosewood furniture and chandeliers with glass icicles dripping from them and cabinets full of the loveliest things; little jade trees and ivory elephants and flowers made out of glass. And a conservatory 11! I didnt know people had conservatories and drawing rooms except in books, did you, Bruce darling? But, of course, this is a very old house. We have a great deal to live up to because, although Mothers relatives are well to do, they dont live in places like this.

I miss Father so much. And I miss you, too. Im dreadfully homesick at night. I do get homesick, thinking of you, because home doesnt mean Provincetown or any special place, but just wherever you are. I put myself to sleep every night by telling myself a story. Do you know what the story is, Bruce? Its the one about the silver flute. If I keep very still I imagine I can hear it Is that silly and sentimental? I suppose it is, but Im that way. If ever the flute stopped playing, I should simply want to die. Dont let it stop playing its one lovely song I love you, pretty gypsy girl with the roses in your hair. Do you see this blot on the paper? Thats a tear. . . . I couldnt help it. I want to see you so much. Wouldnt it be wonderful if Uncle Stephen would keep the children and I could come to New 1 know theyd be safe and York? happy here. Hes so lovely and kind. But I dont suppose he will His She Aunt Edith doesnt like us. wishes we hadnt come. But its Uncle Stephens house, so she doesnt say anything, but I know shed like to, just the same. I havent a nice disposition, have I, Bruce? But what can you expect of a gypsy girl? I dont suppose they ever have any manners. Theres another blot! I do love you so much. But I havent told Uncle Stephen. He might think it was ridiculous because I am only eighteen. Its a beautiful secret and no one knows it but you and me, and the ring with the little gold heart. Heres all my love, except what belongs to the children, tied up in paper covered with stars with a huge silver bow. It makes a very large package. Keep it, Bruce, from Your Babbie, who loves you very much. P. S. I asked Uncle Stephen to call me Babbie instead of Barbara. He does. Hes very accommodating. P. S. No. 2. He isnt a crusty old bachelor. Hes nice looking. But old. I guess he must be forty. P. S. No. 3. Heres a kiss for goodnight. Know something? I love you. ! ...
