LETTER OF THANKS After visiting the Illinois Children's Home, the Girl Scouts received letters from 5ome of the girls. One letter impressed me especially. Here it is: "Dear Miss Humphries and Girl Scouts: "I am very glad that I was at the Children's Home to enjoy those ·pleasant hours with you girls. I love the book which I received dearly. "Those so.ngs were as amusing as can be; for instance. 'Eliza Jane.' "I am very much interested in the Girl Scout moYement, although I am not one yet. "I 'really never though~ of ending a program such as 1that with 'Taps.' That song see ms to put the serenest thought s of beauty into one's soul. "You certainly ha\'e talent in your troop with a bugler, a harpist and a poet. " \\'i shing YOU the best of luck and happine ss throughout the ~ew Year, r remain Yours Gratefully. M.G."
