Elke. with 1 her family, was an unfortuntte vie- 1 tim of the ravages of the cruel war ] and was without many of the com forts of life. Mrs. Creech and her husband had been sending them help all along in the w ay of warm cloth ing and so when the. Benson visit ors returned home they decided to send Elke a few items of used cloth ing.

The years passed and on occas ional visits to the Brooklyn home of the Creeches it w-as learned that the Wichmann family had become more economically secure and for the past few years no contact was made with Elke by the Benson la dy. Only a Christmas card each year from the little girl. This week.
