We have a club that meets on Saturday afternoons and we thought perhaps you would let us come up to have Ann, some classes for the girls, tho way Mary does. You see,U continued nJane sings, Louise tap dances, and 1 play the piano, so we thought we could give some lessons, and maybe get up a program every once in a while.

Richard the Lion-Hearted Richard the First, or Rich- will ard the Lion-hearted one of the ga. 3 ja Q if most famous of the Norman kings F h j 52113 f of England, was born in ll57. BQ Qs i'EEQ Q4 He was the son of Henry the I i.J?T',L,g1 2 Second. He became king of England H in ll89, and, shortly afterwards, K-e,,hfIZT' QQQNX qggg joined Philip the Second of France P I ' M ! 35 4 , in the Third Crusade, to drive the ' yr fg .yil NW Turks from Palestine. Xffm k Richard's adventures in Palestine are told in Sir Walter Scott's story of the Talesman. This historical romance relates how the Marquis of Lontserrat and several other leaders conspired against Richard. They told Philip and the Grad Duke of Austria that Richard was planning to seize full control of the Crusade. The Grand Duke went to a hilltop, where Richard has placed his banners, and there put his own beside that of Richard. The latter drove the duke from the hill, leaving a guard there. After a quarrel of his own with Richard, Philip went home. Richard could not defeat the Turks without the help of Philip. He did, however make a truce with Saladin, the Turkish sultan, for three years, three months, three weeks, three days, and three hours. On the way back to England, Richard was captured and imprisoned in Austria. After two years he escaped, returning to England secretly. Upon his arrival there, he discovered that his brother John, who had been ruling in his absence, had taken steps to seize the throne for himself. The story of Richard's return and the exciting events which followed, while the king was still in disguise, yet active among his people, is told by Scott in his story of Ivanhoe. Richard and Robin Hood, the famous outlaw, led an attack upon a Norman castle, to rescue a young Saxon kinight Wilfred of Ivanhoe, Wilfredfs father Cedric, and Cedric's ward Rowena, whom Ivanhoe later married. Richard was largely responsible for putting an end to the persistent quarrels between the Norman rulers and the native Saxons. One factor in making the peace was Richardis friendship for Ivanhoe. Another was the fact that Richard spent his life in adventurous deeds and in sociability with his subjects, instead of ruling with a ruthless hand, in a great castle. After the king disposed of the usurper John and was again secure on the English throne, he became again involved in troubles with Philip of France. The lion-hearted monarch was killed in 1199, during the seige of a French castle. Basil Seguin ILL
