Indian Girls at Their New Home

The Indian girls went to their summer home, ‘Ponemah,’ near Wayne station, at 8.15 yesterday morning. They bubbled over with joy in anticipation of the trip. They arrived at Wayne at 10 o’clock. They were met at the station by Mrs. John Bellangee Cox and Mrs. Stoefel and were transferred to their new home, about a mile and a half from the station in four large farm wagons. The girls shouted and sang until they reached their new summer home. Matron Hugg gave the girls full swing and they roamed about at their will, mostly in groups of four and five, and little Mary Bruce, six years old, more patriotic than the rest, planted a flag of stripes without stars, made of one of her own little aprons, in a sand heap back of the building. They went to bed early tired out.
