She looked in again when her tears had subsided sulliciently, and she saw a folded paper in the bottom of the chest. She picked it np. but was determined not to get excited again. Shame on great-great-grandfather for disappointing her so!

Thrift Thrift is being taught successfully and notably in the Los Angeles Schools under a definite course of study and practice. Because of its bearing upon character and the happiness that comes from financial independence this subject has become as im' portant as reading, writing and arithmetic. In Robert Louis Stevenson there are two captains from each grade, a girl and a boy. Monday is Thrift Day mainly, but in fact every day is a thrift day. On each Monday the captains give speeches to the various home rooms, take reports, and supply the home rooms with banks. The Thrift Captains from the several grades are as follows: From the A9 class Iuanita Balz and Wesley Winchellg from the B9 Alma Lncatorta and Edward O'Connor. The A8 sent Phillip Friedman and Hazel Anderson as their representative. B8 selected from their group Marion Gerichs and Irving Schnitzer. The A7 class elected Evelyn Banks and Jimmy Killaris while the B7 members of the committee are Diana Corecki and Dustin Glade. If4ll
