Mrs. Edith W. Pierce Extends Her Activities Looking After
Welfare of Those Needing Help.

The personality of Mrs. Edith w. Pierce
is an interesting and most attractive one
She is the only woman every appointed
officially as Special Inspector in the Bu-
reau of Highways and street Cleaning.
Her appointment took place in the fol-
lowing way. one day. about three years
ago on arriving at Broad street Sta
ton from New York, she noticed how
very dirty the streets were, and wondered
ii it might not be possible to do some
thing TO improve them. She discussed
the matter with several persons, and
finally talked it over with the Chief of
the Bureau of Highways, stating that she
would like to he appointed as Il Special

the effect that Civil Service cNamina-

one. each applicant having an equal Up-
portunity. out of 40 contestants, Mrs.

Her work is preventive in character.
She goes to the different schools and
gives little helpful talks to the children
She visits social centres. and instructs
the poorer classes OH such subjects as
the disposal of their garbage and other
houchold waste.
The executive ability and indefatigablo
working powers of Mrs. Pierce are too
well known to detail. She has a convinc-
ing way of putting an argument peculiar
ly her own, and a happy tactfulness
which makes her ideas appeal to al'
classes, for she is careful of the feel

Mrs Pierce was appointed by Director
Porter to be Vice Chairman of the Phila-

Drenched with the summer rain
Where through my boyish feet were
wont to pass.
Until left for the passionate town,
Marble and iron and brass,
Filled with all laughter; yea, ana
filled, alas,
With life's immortal pain.
Then I beheld it's magic. Then I knew
How every rosebush grew,
How every leaf rocked in the wind
blown noon,
Far. far away I saw it beneath the
moon
On matchless nights of June.

Poured through the boughs,
And two young lovers whispered
deathless vows,
And then | heard
Each song -enraptured bird

thorn flowers,
drank the joy that the black cup of
night
Poured for my youths delight
While round about me from great
steeples and towers
The punctual city clocks sounded the
rushing hours.
I shall go back some day
To the enchantment of that wildwood
way,
| shall know once again the scent OF
musk
In the cool summer dusk.
And lay my head upon Nights pillow;
lay
My fevered body where the blossoms
sway
Against the velvet curtains of the dark,
| shall see glowworms light their little
spark
In the hushed evening; hear the

And marvel at the moon.

Long years ago the sun shone with

the other pleasantly, "he is merely

thinks he has to shine his very hottest

But he couldn't forget what the fairy
had said. He thought of it all the

what beauty would be like! Would
it be as great as strength! ,.,
"You could have both. ." whispered
the fairy, WHO 1dppSiiSu wy !.''
