be7 Her mother recalled that In
the morning Lucy had brought three
very dirty and unsanitary- looking
children Into the library and insisted
on playing with them. She wanted
to take them up to her nursery and
show them how to play with her
dolls. She said to her mother;
These children have no dolls at
all and have twelve beautiful ones.
It does not seem right for me to
have so man.. Why can't I give
them some OF mine?"
When the children were sent
away, Lucy wept and walled, but
nothing more was thought Of 1t un-

ing school with the other little aris-
tocrats Of the neighborhood. Then
she could not be found. There was
q frantic search all over the dis

evening, when It was thought that
a general alarm would have to be
sent out, Uncle Tracy came in hold

nue having the time Of her life,"
said the immaculate banker-milllon-
aire. "She would not come home un-
til | promised her that she should
have her little friends come to play
with her here tomorrow"

first pilgrimage for democracy that
Lucy found one way TO get her own
way. From that time until she was
sent away to the B1gelow estate up
the Hudson, there were always half
q dozen small ragamuff1nS In and
about the Bigelow mansion. Lucy
shared everything she had with them;
her family was apparently helpless.
OF course, all this time Lucy was
TOO young to realize that she was
searching for true democracy. She
