Childs, dean of women, from an Englishwoman in London. The rare gift was given in ap preciation of efforts made by Mrs. Childs to secure the former address of an American girl who died in England. Mrs. Childs received a letter last May from the Englishwoman, ask ing for the address of the Ameri can girl's parents. Mrs. Childs con taeted the Red Cross and all pos sible agencies in Columbia, but the address could not be obtained. Mrs. Childs wrote to Columbia University, realizing a possible mistake in the girl's alma mater, and received her parent's address from the registrar. A letter preceding the volume read, "For your kindness, I shall send you a very old book, it might interest you; my mother gave it to me, before she was taken in the last war. My grandmother had them bound . . ." The volume contains copies dated from 1848 to 1862. Several copies feature pictures of marriages of Ohe English royal family and Queen Victoria's husband. Another pic ture of interest was an American S-uthern plantation scene of a religious meeting.
