Dear Alumnae:—I am so happy to
have this opportimity ot getting in
touch with 50 many of you whom I
had hoped to see while I was back in
the States. But now I know 1 shHli
not be able to. see you while on this
furlough, for in three more weeks 1
shall be leaving here to catch niy boat,
the President Taft, sailiug from San
Francisco on Decomber 7.
It is with a moat thankful heart that
I am setting ready to go back, for It
is only because of special gifts that
I am permitted to return to China. The
First Church of High Point is assum
ing my salary for the next term of
servico, and my own Association, the
Gi'een River, is paying my traveling
expenses. Of course, it is not going to
be easy to leave home—seven years ia
a long timo and many changes can
come. But no matter what price we
pay, we are content only when we
know we arc in the placc God wants
ua.
Recent letters have come from iny
city in China saying that conditions
seem lo be settled there,, and telling
me to hurry back for the work is walt-
.ing for me. So, I am happy to go back
to the ICathleen Mallory Hospital as
Superintendent of nurses; back to
teucli tlio Chinese girls and boys who
want to take hospital training; back
to the sick men, women, and children
who come to us seeking release frojii
suffering. It la a joy to tell of the
love of the Saviour to many of them
who have not lieard of it before. It
is beautiful to see the development
In a life that you have been able tu
'bring to the Source of all Life. And
though sometimes you may be tired
and lonely and feel tliere is more than
you can possibly accomplish, the
realization that you have been instru
mental in bringing a soul into the
Light, more than makes up for any
discomfort.
I wish you could see tlie adorable
Chinese babies and children with their
beautiful, olive skins, their shiny,
black eyes, and their jet, 'black hair.
In our orphanage we have fifty of
them, and thero arc hundreds and
hundreds wherever you go. What n
joy it is to reach even just a few of
them for our Master. As you are with
the children of America, won’t you
think of China and of the other lands
that are still waiting in darkness uu-
til Ave who have the Light send it to
them ?
If there is ever pity in your liearts,
do not give it to us missionarios, for
we are happy In our work; rather give
it to those whose time Is spent for
things that fado quickly. But we do
want your love and your prayers that
His Namo may be glorified through tho
whole world,
Sincerely youi'e,
Alda Grayson, '15.
FEET
Pbdcstiua Hoof
Feet are . funny things. You walk
on them, so they are rather useful.
But then they are queer too. Have you
ever noticed people’s feet in the din
ing room? Some people have them
all twisted around tho chair legs. Some
are pointed out; some are pigeon toed.
Some people stick up their toes. Some
stick up their heels. Then you see
people’s feet in Chapel. Some pat
their feet If they are excited or wor
ried. Some move them gently to and
fro. Then you see people's feet on
classes. Some people swing their feet.
Others rest them lightly, or olherw-lso,
on the baok of the chair in front of
them.
You never think about feet much,
but you couldn't get along without
them—If you see what I mean. Any
way, there are lots of kinds of feet.
Short and long, thin and fat, narrow
and wide, sturdy, serviceable looking
foot—thin, fragile (?) looking feet.
Wonder if your character ever shows
in your feet? You wouldn't say that
just because you feet were narrow you
were narrow minded. But—all of us
have feet. And yet they are certainly
individual. Wonder how many of us
would like to be judged by our feet?

THE LOVER’S FATE
Pbakl Hodorh ’31
O where are you going, my own dear
love,
And why are you leaving me?
0 I’m weary of living for aye wF you;
So I go far over the sea.
0 who Is thla man walking by your
side,
With locks of yellow hair?
0 he’s my new love come after me.
And over the sea we’ll fare!
He walked him up and down the san,
And the tear blinded his ee;
O will you no’er come back again
My bonny bride to-be?
She looked upon him wi’ scornful ee.
And herself she turned arounne
She took her new love by tho hand,
And led him from the towne.
Not many a day had passed away,
Aye, scarcely two and three.
Before her true love bont thrice with
grief,
Did lay him down and dee.
Far out at sea the wind did blow,
The giilp It rose and fell;
And many a time she wept hot tears.
To be home safe and well.
O take me back to my homo again.
And fell upon her knee.
Your home ye shall never see again.
Nor any man save me.
Slowly, slowly raised she up
And looked him In the ee;
And as the sliip -went down again,
She jumped into the sea.
