Helps the Working Girl.
"Contrary to the idea of many people, the play
grounds are as active in trying to reach the young
working girl and boy as they are in training the chill
dren. 1t is for the former that the evening clubs are
formed and that the shower baths are kept open in the

because they really are tough, but because they do mol

by little change their style of hair-dressine, subdue the
color of their dresses, relegate their chewing gum to
the things of the past and leave their pretty faces UT
marred by any of their former ugly fashions. And
some happy marriages result from that dance hail.

twenty-five years of married life.
Interested in His Work. go
"And it seems just like two. I have been so much
interested in my husband and in my children that tine
years have fled by. My boy will still lack a few
months of 81 at election time, and you can't realize
how much he regrets that he can't cast his hrst vote

o'clock comes | am free for the day. 1t is system that
counts, even around the house, and it is the strict fol-
lowing of system that enables Mr.. Aronson to attend
to his numerous duties. At every new one | ask my

circumstances are, should have the knowledge and the
experience to enable her to take entire charge Of her
home should the necessity arise. 1t is the personal
touch that turns a house into a home, makes it a place
where the children delight to stay and where they
know their friends will find a hearty welcome"
Strangers Unknown Here.
And this personal touch is everywhere present in
the Aronson cottage. Strangers and guests are un-
known quantities, for they are quickly made members
of the family. Even the youngest, 6-ycar-old Marguer-
lite, has caught the spirit Of hospitality that prevails
in the house, and not only entertains the older visitors,

the neighboring houses and bids all the children "come

Father Centre of Interest
But just now the father is the centre of interest.
"when we came to Newark, sixteen years ago, some
people predicted that Mr.. Aronson would some day be
Mayor of the city, said Mrs. Aronson, reverting to her
favorite topic. "Since then he has held Offices to which
no salary was attached, but in which he worked as il
the support of his family we're dependent upon their
success. II he is elected | know he will make a good
Mayor, just as he has made a good husband, a good
father. a good business man and a good city official"
And who could help living up to such implicit trust
