The following original and unique little
•lory was written by Minnie Lee Ward,
• little school girl, just twelve years old.
She Is the bright little daughter of Capt.
M. C. Ward and Mrs. Ward:
‘THE LITTLE VALENTINE’S GIFT.”
"Have you any news?" asked the Fairy
Beautiful, of n little Brownie w'ho came
skipping through the grass.
"Yes, I have news that needs a re
ward." answered the Brownie.
"What Is it?" asked the Fairy.
The little Brownie began: "When I was
on my way to see that the flower in
little Miss Blue Eye’s window was still
beautiful, a big bug Jumped out from
behind the blinds.
"I drew my sword and fought him as
long as I could, but he was too strong
for me, and wrould have killed me If It
had not been for a rosebush that I saw.
I spread my wings and flew behind a lit
tle rose. It did not know that I was there.
"After the bug went away I came to
you as fast as I could."
"The little rose shall have its reward.
I will give It Beauty, as a Valentine, for
tomorrow is Valentine's Day,” said the
Fairy.
The little Brownie, after many thanks,
left her.
He next met the Fairy Fragrant, to
whom he told his story. The Fairy Frag
rant said: "I will give Fragrance, as a
Valentine, to the little rose." The little
Brownie thanked her and then went
on.
He next met the Fairy of Beautiful
Names. He told her about the little rose,
and she said: "I will give the name of
American Beauty, as a Valentine, to the
little rose."
The little Brownie thanked her and
then went on.
He next met the fairy called Dreams.
He told her the story about the rose.
The Fairy Dreams said, "All these other
fairy have given the little rose gifts
I will give her a dream, that will tell
her about these gifts."
So that night when the little rose wwnt
to sleep it dreamed that looking a far
off is could see a lot of beautiful people
with wings. The people kept coming
nearer and nearer, until at last they were
so near that It could feel them touch
her and hear each one say something to
her.
It also could ace a little £lrl with dark
blue ejres, Just the color of the sky, and
In those dark blue eyes, it could see its
own self.
No longer a faded lit It© rose, but a
beautiful fragrant rose.
It was so happy that it made a bounce
in the air to find that when it came down
agrain that it was wide awake.
For all this time it had been dreaming.
The little rose was afraid that the
dream was not true, and that it was the
same faded little rose.
But at that moment a little boy with
brown eyes came up, and in those brown
eyes the llttl<? rose could see itself Just
as In the little blue eyes.
It was the same beautiful rose.
The Little Brown Eyes plucked the
beautiful rose and laid it, with a card
at Little Blue Eyes’ door.
The card had on it: "My Valentine, for
Little Blue Eyes."
Two Women: One Famous in
Journalism and Other in Music
New York girls write charmingly of
fashions and society because they know
more about these topic® than any other
class of women In the world. Several
New York women have written success
ful novels and _plays because they have
been attentive observers of the passing
show In all its splendor of pageantry
and luxuriousness of detail. But the
most successful all-round metropolitan
newspaper women have come from the
West. Winfred Black, Harriet Hubbard
Ayer, Mary Mullett, Helen Watters on and
Elizabeth Jordan are all Western wo
men.
Ada Patterson, of the Journal, from
native ability, push, diplomacy and ver
satility, la perhaps, the very best type of
the metropolitan feminine journalist.
She came, says a New York writer,
Lochinvar-Uke, out of the West, where
she was known as the "Nellie Bly" of
Western Journalism, without any fan
fare of trumpets walked Into the Journal
office, took an assignment and went to
work without any fuss or feathers. Her
signed stories, her editorials, her specials,
have attracted universal admiration and
praise. She began work on a Utah paper
writing legislative reports for a Salt Lake
City Journal. From there she went to
the San Francisco Call. While on that
paper she did considerable work on the
Durant murder case and the famous
Brown-Beecher affair. In the latter case
she wrote a special story-, while the af
fair was yet in a mysterious stage, out
lining it and supplying motives, which
proved through final confessions of Brown
to be correct. In the same city She played
the raoes, got a receipt for her money
and exposed a notorious woman's gamb
ling den.
From San Francisco Miss Patterson
went to St. Louis. Here she rode on an
engine of midnight express between that
city and Chicago; went to a big fire with
the fire chief; WTOte up the wickedest
house in the town, the Infamous House of
Biases; was a member of a summer gar
den chorus; flower girl In Olga Nether
sole’s "Carmen"; tough girl in "Pink
Dominoes"; got engaged to a man in a
matrimonial bureau to expose the fake.
But Miss Patterson longed for other
worlds to conquer, and to try her hand
at metropolitan Journalism. So leaving
St. Louis sho came on to New York and
went to the bottom of an East River
bridge caisson, and spent a night alone
in a haunted house.
But soon dropping all these pyrothech
nlc feats of journalism, Miss Patterson
settled down to steady, laborious, legiti
mate newspaper work. Her judgement of
men and affairs soon became valuable.
One editor said to her that she was the
only woman he ever fully relied upon,
because her common sense never failed
her. Another called her "the best poli
tician on the paper." Still another says;
"Miss Patterson can write a brief, vig
orous editorial, dig up a mystery by the
roots, size up a fake or lay out a page
equally well."
Personally she is a charming little
woman, with brown hair, eyes that pierce
and study and size one up; pretty hands,
arms and throat, a soft, low voice and
simple, unaffected manners.
She says that her creed is, “Never
make life hardor for any one.” Certainly
she lives up to it. She is never so busy
that she cannot stop and help every one
who appeals to her. She is a rainy day
friend, letting persons alone in their
hours of sunshine for, as she quaintly
remarks. “There are plenty then to share
their joys.”
She lives in typical bachelor-girl fash
ion. in charming apartments; breakfasts
in bed, lunches and dines wherever she
chances to be. Singularly cheery, busy,
womanly, sympathetic and successful—
admired and respected by every one with
whom she comes in touch—is the typical
metrpolitan newspaper woman. Miss Ada
Patterson.
If you ask the music dealers of Gotham
whose compositions sell best of all the
women composers, they promptly answer,
“O, Josephine Gro's."
Mrs. Gro inherits the invention of mel
ody from musical ancestors, and manages i
to tuck bits of delightful fancy into her j
most frankly popular works. 8he knows
her harmony, and has good sense of
musical humor and great instinct for time
and rhythm. She applies her knowledge
of actual color and form and proportion
to her musical work. 'Moreover, she pos
sesses keen insight and sympathy with
pathos.
Comic opera, farce and vaudeville, as
well as many of the New York papers,
are indebted to her for many a tuneful
dance or song. Her “Sultan’s Guard" is
in the eyes of all musicians quite as good
as any of the marches of al la Turca of
any of the masters.
When she was composing this delightful
patrol, her Turkish friends were accus
tomed to call upon her and listen with
closed eyes and reverent mien to its fan
tastic. strains. The Sultan himself sent
the lady a decoration to mark his appre
ciation of her composition.
Her “Mandalay” is conceded to be the
most exquisite arrangement of Kipling's
words yet submitted to the public. The
dreamy retrospection of the longing
“Tommy," the odors and languor of the
Orient, even the chiming of the temple
bells, are all expressed In this beautiful
melody.
MTS. tiro la as wen Known on me sra.
clflc coast as on the Atlantic. She iden
tified herself with the Golden State In a
very remarkable fashion. She wrote a
chorus, “Hall, California,” which was
sung at the Los Angeles Fiesta by 6000
school children. It created such a sensa
tion that it was at once placed by the
boards of education on the course of
study and library list of each large city
and most of the counties, to be sung on
patriotic and public occasions. Moreover,
“The Native Sons of the Golden West”
adopted it as an auxiliary ode in the rit
ualistic work of that large order, and its
inspiring strains came to be the finale
of the Sunday concerts at Golden Gate
Park, San Francisco, for over a year.
Mrs. Gro's tiny apartment in West
Thirty-sixth street is characteristic of
herself. It is a harmony in color and
design. Everything in It speaks of the
charming souvenirs of travel, the most
prominent points of vantage being given
over to western curiosities.
Personally, Mrs. Gro Is a sweet-voiced,
rosy-cheeked, compact little woman, with
big, beseeching eyes as blue as turquois.
In her costumes and belongings she
evinces the same harmony which is
shown in her surroundings and in her
work.
