When James Graham, carpenter, enlisted, it was with the assurance
that if he lost his life his grateful country would provide for his
widow. He did lose it, and Mrs. Graham received, in exchange for a
husband and his small earnings, the sum of $12 a month. But when
you own your own very little house, with a dooryard for chickens
(and such stray dogs and cats as quarter themselves upon you), and
enough grass for a cow, and a friendly neighbor to remember your
potato-barrel, why, you can get along-somehow. In Lizzie Graham's
case nobody knew just how, because she was not one of the
confidential kind. But certainly there were days in winter when the
house was chilly, and months when fresh meat was unknown, and years
when a new dress was not thought of.

Two hundred and thirty-nine girl voices chanted the Wo-he-lo Cheer
with weird impressiveness. The scene alone would have been
impressive enough, but Camp Fire Girls are not satisfied with that
kind of "enough." Once their imagination is stimulated with the
almost limitless possibilities of the craft, they are not easily
pleased with anything but a finished product. The occasion was the
last Grand Council Fire of Hiawatha Institute for Camp Fire Girls
located in the Allegheny city of Westmoreland. The classroom work
had been rushed a day ahead, examinations were made almost
perfunctory, and for them also the clock had been turned
twenty-four hours forward. The curriculum was finished, and the day
just closed had been devoted to preparation for a Grand Council
wind-up for the fifteen Fires of the Institute, which would "break
ranks" on the following day and scatter in all directions for home
and the Christmas holidays.

Girls, I have some great news for you. I'm sure you'll be
interested, and I hope you'll be as delighted as I am. Come on, all
of you. Gather around in a circle just as if we were going to have
a Council Fire and I'll tell you something that will-that
will-Teddy Bear your teeth. A chorus of laughter, just a little
derisive, greeted Katherine Crane's enigmatical figure of speech.
The merriment came from eleven members of Flamingo Camp Fire, who
proceeded to form an arc of a circle in front of the speaker on the
hillside grass plot near the white canvas tents of the girls' camp.
"What does it mean to Teddy Bear your teeth?" inquired Julietta
Hyde with mock impatience. "Come, Katherine, you are as much of a
problem with your ideas as Harriet Newcomb is with her big words.
Do you know the nick-names some of us are thinking of giving to
her?" "No, what is it?" Katherine asked. "Polly."
