Helen's Ultimatum.

Here Helen paused. but Della, who
had not looked up since she entered,
went on Ironing. With her eyes still
glued 20 the board The hrick-rcd
rlush vas even deeper. but she SAID
not Il word.
your month IS up next Wcdnes-
dav- Della. a week from tomorrow.
SoY I want you To think things over.

Decided that YOU can work without

II have put up with this for al
most two years just because you are
In 80 MANY ways very good giri.
But lately il IS getting on my nerves
more than il used to- Perhaps you
need change. Perhaps. as I have
sald. YOU have been here too long.

And that day Helen almost came TO
the conclusion that she would not
stand for II either.
II was ironing day. In the same

dishes. put on the irons and got out
the Ironing board.

Della was rearranginE the irons on
the stove, and did not deign to reply,
and Helen went in 10 straighten up
the bedroom, which she always did on
,roning day.
Half an hour later she came back
into the kitchen TO get the skirt and
shower sheet, But Della was calmly
ironing a tablecloth,

Now finish that as quickly as you can
and iron my skirt" Helen's voice was
unusually sharp.
A little later she came back to find
Della ironing another table cloth!
Still the skirt had not been
touched. For moment Helen was
roo astonIshed and angry TO say any
thing at all And Della, pretending
not to see her as she stood In the
door. ironed on without looking up.
Della, you can put that tablecloth
aside now and iron my skirt

DESERTED AND IN POVERTY

Helpless ConsumptiVe Found With Her
Baby and Little Boys in Utter Squalor
The most extreme case of poverty
in the history of Delaware was
discovered by officers Sunday morn.
ing, when Mrs. Howard Maharty
was found helpless in her bed in a
small four-room house at Thompsons
Station. three miles from Newark.
She was apparently in the last
stage of tuberculosis and had been
without food three days. Her hus-
band and 2-year-old daughter, Anna
Maharty, had deserted her, and
when the officers arrived two sons,
aged 9 and 10 years, were making
their morning meal out of raw field
corn and green apples. They had
had no other food for several days.
Lying on the floor near Mrs.
Maharty's bed was her 2 year-old
baby, which she could not reach.
Flies in thousands infested the
house. Saturday night one of the
boys walked TO Newark with a note
that his mother had managed to
write. Officer Shellender got the
note. which read: For Cod sake
send my daughter Anna and tell hel
to come to me if she ever expects
to see her mother alive again. .
On Sunday the officer found the con
ditions described. Mrs. Mahart,
said her daughter had left a weel
ago, she thought, to work in
cannery at Elkton Md. Her hus
band had been discharged from
farm and left her last Tuesday.
