Married Lies Troubles
elens Mother Reluctantly Appeals to Her for Help in
Financial Way.
BY MABEL HERBERT URNER

Ellen laid down her mother s
- letter and went over to the
Il 4 window. Pressing her hot
cheek against the chill pane Of glass,
she gazed down at the street with its
ragged piles Of sOiled snow.
An old woman with a shawl over
her bent head and a large basket on
whipped out her thin skirt, showing
her bedraggled petticoat and her Stat
Helen watched her out Of sight,
and then turned back to the letter.
A few moments before she had opened
it with pleasant expectancy OF her
mothers usual cheerful, home neWSy
letter But the news this had brought
had left her crushed, bewildered.
That her fathers practice was not
what it had been and that he was
not very strong Helen knew. But
that things should be so bad--it came
as a staggering shock
She must either ask Warren for
money to help them-Or the home
must be mortgaged. That was the ap-
palling alternative this letter put be-
fore her.
Torn with conflicting impulses
Helen walked distractedly from one
window to the other. She must help
them-she muSt- Yet how could she
put this extra burden upon Warren?
All winter he had been complaining
that business was bad. How could
she go TO him with this?
Again she took up the letter.

Dear Helen-I cannot tell you how
hard it is for me to write this letter.
But when I see that this worry is
killing your father 1 feel that now
you ought to know
For the last few months he has
been far from we'll and his hearing
is much worse. This deafness of
course, interferes with his practice
and has lost him many patients.

has opened up an office here He

Helen, things have become so bad
that unless you can help us a little

home. And Pm afraid of the effect

This is quite universal now and need
hardly be commented upon, but per-
haps it would do no harm to place
a little stress upon the fact that it
helps in maintaining the grace Of the
dance. 1t prevents the idea of unnoc-
essary contact which has awakened
such displeasure among many people
who have either Wilfully misunder-
stood or have never really seen the
modern dances interpreted properly.
There are Is counts Of the Brazilian
in this movement. The first four
steps are plain march steps, followed
by four running steps. The second
picture shows the position as the
couple run forward. The next eight
steps are OF the polka variety, with

division, they must clean up the
Eastern squad. Right now the Sox
are making their big bid of the year |
for the lead. They are in the midst |
of an uprising and a sudden halt will |
dampen the prospects of the team.
Few ball clubs make more than one |
such squirt per season, Their sue
cess depends on the length of the eff |
fort. ......
Viewed dispassionateIy, it is hard
to figure Sox prospects for pennant. |
There is not enough power on at |
tack. Defensively there is no better |
team in the league. But it is the |
bludgeon ability that wins pennants.
Frequently it is pointed out that |
Fielder Jones won a pennant and a
worlds championship with a team
that hit miserably, backed by a star
pitching staff But in that tussle hte
Sox were playing faster ball on the
bases. Jones had a team of base
runners, a crew which got at least
one run for every two hits. The
present, Sox band is not up to that
mark.
Adding Wade KiIIifer to the outfieId
will hardly solve the problem. He is
making a fine record in the Ameri-
can Association, but with both De-
troit and Washington he failed to
make good in the American League.
He was away below the standard in
hitting.
1t is doubtful if KiIIifer would hit
any better than Bodie. He could do
better on the bases, but would not
overshadow the one-time fence buster
as fielder.
Chink Mattick, who was sent to
Kansas City last year, would be a
good man now for the style of ball the
Sox are playing. Mattick can bat as
well as Bodie will on the year and in
the field and on the bases is at least
so per cent ahead of Ping.
The SUCCESS of Tinker's Feds is

that it is holding up the twirlers, bat
ting in the runs and backing up with
a sterling defense.
Fisk and LANCE, two semi-pro
pitchers, have won number of
games for the North Siders, but not
entirely on their own efforts. Except
on days when these two lads are ex-
ceptionally good they must have some
batting back of them to succeed. And
some batting in this case does not
mean six hits, but real walloping
assault.
The failure of Brennan to take his
portion of the work has been a big
blow to the Chifeds If the former
Philly southpaw had been in condition
from the start of the season Tinker
would now be far out ahead with
nothing to worry over.
Brennan is gradually shaping up
and should be ready to divide the
heavy work with Hendrix in the final
drive to the finish. If he can pitch as
he did in the National League the
local third leaguers will have the hon
or of winning the first flag in the Fed
eral League.
Manager o'Day, knowing that his
team has chance to nose out New
York and win the National League
pennant, is making efforts to bolster
up his pitching staff for the hard
fight that lies ahead of the West
Sirers.
Casey Hageman, who started with
st. Louis, has just been secured over
the waiver route. This person is
gamble. He started only one game
for the Cards and managed to win
that. Higgins has fine box corps
and could afford to release the pros
pect.
If Hageman makes good it will be
a great thing for the Cubs. If he
fails we will not be any worse off
than before.
