Title: Edwina, "Bad" Child or Just a Fashion Maven?
Poetry or Literary Inclusion: Sub Text: Edwina was thought of as a bad child, but possessed an extraordinarily good sense of fashion. Her sister Marguerite presumed herself Akron's answer to Madame Vionet, but the dress Edwina had been forced to don for her 10th birthday party spoke volumes in contradiction. As Edwina's badness exposed itself as a lengthy and deafening scream, Marguerite in the sitting room called Godfrey in the kitchen to quell the uprising. So much for the cream puff in Edwina's hand. So much for the party. So much for family relations. Marguerite was not deterred. Godfrey was victorious.

Title: Jacob Lyon...In a Bright Youthful Face was Hidden the Dark Side
of the Human Heart Sub Text: In 1865, while Governor of Idaho, Avarice overtook him. With indifference towards the Nez Perce and their honorable heart, Jacob formed his words and promises with a forked tongue and abandoned integrity. Escaping back to a world of luxury and Chinese porcelain, he left the tribe to their poverty and disappointment. The battles of 1877 lay ahead and beyond that, years of exile, confinement and abuse. Lyon's legacy continued - the tribe persevered.
