MOTHER OF NINE is
TABOOED IN THE BRONX

Special to The Herald
NEW YORK, May 15.-"My only
crime, your honor" said Mrs. Mary
Walsh to Justice Tierney, in the second
municipal court of the Bronx, "is that
I am the mother of nine healthy chill
dren. When 1 came up from below the
Harlem river l thought I'd get fresh
air and lots of vacant room for them.
But I've found out that they don't
tan's a paradise compared to 1t. They
seem to hate the sight Of child here,
and they hunt the life out of the family
that dares to show up in decent size"
"Crime?" observed Justice Tierney.
MY dear madam, 1 think you ought
to get a medal instead of being perse-
cuted for having nine children. I'm
sure President Roosevelt would COM
mend you for the size of your family;
i do, too, and 1 know the community
is with YOU"
Mrs. Walsh had been summoned
to answer an order obtained by the
agent who demanded possession of her
fiat, declaring that she had too many
children. He explained that the land
lord objected to large families.
as that the only complaint you have
to make against her?" asked the court.
"Yes, sir; but we think that is suffi-
cient."
Il lived IN Manhattan all my life up
to a month ago." sobbed Mrs. Walsh.
when they find have nine children
they try to shoe me out. Where can
go? I've tried to get another place, but
they look frightened when I told the
size of my family"
The court gave Mrs. Walsh an extra
four days in which to secure another
home.

FdNVIING
Special to This Herald
NEW YORK, May 15-There Is q
barber shop in an apartment hotel on
the upper west side almost as well
patronized by women as by men. OF
course the women do not go there for
shaves, but they are regular customers
for all the other 1xings of which the
tonsorial artists are masters.
Their particular passion is for the
electrical massage treatment. and so
great Is the demand for 1t that two
machines are buslly buzzlng the greater
part of the day. They usually come
tripping into the barber shop after
breakfast and deliver themselves into
the hands Of the barber. The one most
favored is dark-skinned, handsome
Spaniard.
They recline luxuriously in the chair
and the barber proceeds to parbol
their faces with steaming hot towels
Then he applies n liberal coating Of
cold cream, which he rubs In with his
hands. Then the electrical machine
is wheeled up and is Get buzzing. over
and over miladi's face the little disk is
passed particularly over the temples,
around the corners of the eyes, where
may lurk some suspicion of crows feet
and under the chin, too, If there is
the least approach to double chin to
be seen. The disk is sometimes applied
to the arms and chest and the women
enjoy II hugely
Occasionally they indulge in sham
poo. and afterward have their nails
manicured, and likely as not will end
up by climbing into the bootblacks
chair for "shine." They are as jeal-
Gus as a man with only twenty minutes
to catch train over their next" and
woe betide the unfortunate individual
who tries to butt in ahead of them.
The men patrons of the Shop are so
used to the presence of the women that
they pay no more attention to them
than to their own sex. Besides they
are nearly all residents of the hotel
and so are known to one another.

Rockefeller will soon ask the town and
village boards of Mount Pleasant and
North Tarrytown for permission to

OLD FASHIONED GIRLS.

There is something that is getting too scarce
in this world and that is the sweet, old fashioned
girl We want girls in this world-home girls,
girls who are their mothers right hand, who can
care for the little ones next best to mother, and
who can smooth out the domestic skein when things
get twisted; girls whom the father takes comfort
IN for something better than beauty, and the big
brothers are proud of for something that out
ranks the ability to shine in society. We want
girls of sense. girls who have a good Catholic
standard of their own regardless of convention
alities and are independent enough to live up to
it girls who simply won't trailing dresses on
the streets gather up microbes and all sorts OF
dehlement; girls who will what is pretty and
becoming, and snap their fingers at the dictates
of fashion when fashion is silly. We want good
girs-girs who are sweet right straight out from
the heart to the lips; innocent pure and simple
girls girls who say their prayers and go to mass
and love God and obey the Church's teachings. We
want careful girls and prudent girs-girls who are
unselfsh and eager to be JOY and comfort in
the home rather than an expensive and useless
burden. We want girls with hearts-girls who are
full of tenderness and sympathy, with tears that
flow for other peoples ills, and smiles that light
outward their own beautiful thoughts. With such
girls scattered around life would freshen up for
all of us as the weather does under a spell of sum-
mer showers.-Catholic Tribune.

A "klNp WORD" SOCIETY.

There was organized in New York some time ago
kind Word Society" its chief object being the
giving of assistance and finding employment for
working girls who had lost their positions.
Several thousand girls were assisted by the
ganization which is still carrying its good work
and is a society of kind deeds as well as of kind
words
Why not have societies organized for the ex-
press purpose of saying kind Words not only to
those in distress, but to everybody! Why not have
societies the members of which shall pledge them
selves to always speak kindly! Consider if you will
how much sweetness and harmony it would bring
into the world if none but kind words were ever
spoken. Thousands of unkind deeds are the di
rect result of unkind words. If we would always
speak kindly. many of our evil deeds would cease.
And if only we would always think kindly of
others 1t does not follow that one thinks kindly
because he speaks kindly. Many people are sweet
and gracious in their manner and words simply be-
cause the common rules of polteness compel them
to be polite and courteous There is no real kind
ness III their hearts toward those to whom they are
speaking Indeed it often happens that regard
for the usages of polite society induces many to be
exceedingly kind and gracious toward those whom
they dislike exceedingly and about whom they say
the unkindest things in private, This sort of de-
ceit and wickedness is common-far too common.
The kind and gentle word that comes from the
heart-what mighty power for good it is How
it sweetens the world. Why not organize kind
word society in your town city! And add the
doing of kind deeds to the societys duties There
is not better or more certain way of doing good and
of being good than by cutivating a spirit of kind
ness and desire to be helpful to others God will
help you to develop this beautiful spirit if you lack

THE LAND OF HAPPINESS.

Once upon time there were two little chill
dren, boy and girl, who had no mother. Their
mother had died and their father had married an
ogress, and had become so much like her that he
came very eating his own children, taking
them for two good-sized grasshoppers.
Their mother had died when they were young
and they did not know what death They
asked the people where their mother was, and they
told them that she had gone to the Land of Hap
piness" They asked if they could get where their
mother was, and the people said: Yes when you
have been real good and when God calls you
For long time they had been very good and
one day they thought they heard God calling them,
so they packed few clothes and went away. After
three days sleeping the soft ground and eating
anything they could find on the way, on the morn
ing of the fourth day they came to city. The
first person they met was old lady, and they
said to her:
''Do you know where the Land of Happi-
ness isI'
But the old lady laughed and said: "There is no
such land We belong to the Ogre that lives in
the forest, and he treats very mean. No, we
don't know what happiness is"
The children then cried to her: "Oh we don't
want to stay here! We are going on!'
SO they went on until they came to another
city. and there they inquired if they knew where
the Land of Happiness was, and the people said:
at is here; for do not have to work-only be
lazy"

The people laughed loud and long. NO" they
said; ''She is not here, for have names here.
1t is too much trouble to call any one by name.
But tell what your are They must be a
curious thing to know"
And the boy said: "My name is Sweet William,
and her name is Anna"
Then the children went on and about two days
later Sweet William said: "Anna feel i'll. | think
we must be near to the Land of Happiness, be-

Then they became real joyful and ran and picked
flowers along the road and Sweet William said:
"Oh, Anna there is mamma! She is beckoning
for me to come. You stay here until | run and
see what she wants"
The little boy ran forward, but never came
back
Then Anna was wild with grief. She began to
run, and she ran until she reached great city
There the people stared and said "Are you crazy"
And Anna, who was a sensible girl, did not like
this She began to cry and faster, until at
last she ran out of the great town and into the
country. The people who her there called her
Ragged Annie Wandering Annie
At last she became so tired she sank down on
the grass, and while she was sinking she said: "Oh
mamma now / see the Land of Happiness"
The poor people who her lying there buried
her right where she died, and after awhile some
flowers grew on her grave Because they rambled
around everywhere and were ragged everybody
called them the Ragged Armies or Wandering An
