Typical of friendship and
Sympathy

Picture a tlf ndtr girl, not much taller
as nosallnd would bay. than a mairB '
heart a Elrl who Is brimming with tun,
but who, unllko moU other Klrls nf her
age, Is thinking night and day of oiv
thing only, the sorrows of her own na
tion, That H Suzanno fiilvrrrrus Tod.iv i
at tho 1'oor Richard Club, u roomful
of business men tried to Mioiv her how
deeply they honor tho work the ha
dono for her native country. Hclgnim
Miss Slliercruys worn tlr loMtmio of a
Belgian peasant girl, hrr long, dark
turls falling about her cheek After
the luncheon, at which she was the gtttit
of honor, the president of the 1'oor
Richards, Rowe Stewart, prcw nted her
with ii beautiful American flag of ullk,
each of whose stars represented a con
tribution madt to tho Belgian relief
fund by iome member of the club who
had been moved by her appeal for aid '
to rescue the afflicted p;opI of Uel
Klutn Ahd with the Hag went tho lhom
Ise of the dug to present $00(1 to tho
Belgian relief committee In her behalf
on March 1.
n-AO PLUDOKS SYMPATHY
"We want you to take this Hag with
you when you go back to Brussels,"
md Mr. Stewart, "aa u. reminder of the
sympathy which we shall always hold
for the peoplo of brave Belgium. Re
member, If you will, that this Hag is
an exact duplicate. In sUe, in quality,
and In standard, of the (lag which hangs
above Ocneial Pershing's headquarters
In Franct, and that, lllm General
Penning t) Hag, It Is a pledge that Amer
icans arc fighting In ISelglum'a noble
cause."
Tno little Belgian glil answered
simply, with the delicious hint of accent
that marks her English. Simply the
told of tho relief work which must go
within tho boundaries of Brussels and
outside them, without a word of the
funds whicli arc required for each
branch of that work.
'Under tho Pennsylvania Fund In
Brussels," tho paid, "whicli cares for
sick children and sick old persons, a
dally ration Is given to each person
consisting of six slices of bread not
good Liberty bread like you have here,
but black bread half a lkv of bacon.
a nuartn-'of a. nound of peas, beans und
rotTeo anil a bowl of soup.' Au Ameri
can member of the Belgian Relief Ooni
mlfslon told mo he tried that diet for
a week and lost seven pounds. Yet
that Is all that can be spared.
PENNSYLVANIA LL'ADS.
"Pennsylvania has dono more than
any other State In tho United States
for Brussels. And I can't help think
ing that Is because the spirit of William
Tenn Is still alive.
"Yesterday I tent $1000 to the Car

That was all she said. But the sudden
