BY MRS. HENRY RUSSELL DROWNE.
The deserving poor out of work
these are the people who are being
benefited by the Bundle Day Commit
tee and the people whom New York
should rally to help. Every person in
New York who has not already con-
tributed his bundle of old clothing
should do so at once, for the need is
still very great
know this from personal experience.
I went down TO the Bundle Day head
quarters. at 2lO Fifth Avenue, yester-
day on purpose TO find out just what
was being done. ! came away and i'm
mediately began calling up all my
friends on the telephone to beg them
TO get busy at once packing up their
old clothes, because | should call for
them in the morning.
The first lot | get | shall ask TO
have given to Mrs. Sparka, of 4l6 East
Seventy-fourth Street. | never met
woman who impressed me as more pitt
ful-or more deserving. She was
pretty woman, and still very young,
with light brown hair and honest blue
ewes. She had one baby in her arms
and two little ones tugglng at her
skirts.
20 Cents a Day for Six.
None Of these children had on any
underclothing. One little boy wore
cheap cotton sweater and rompers. The
other had an old coat buttoned over
his skinny chest Mrs. Sparka said
that her husband was a pedler. In
these bad times, she told me, the most
ne has earned has been 80 cents day.
Think of trying 10 support family OF
four children and two adults on 30
cents a day! Is il any wonder that
the children were half clothed and
the baby puny little half starved
thing?
The two older children were very
pretty. | have seen many young plu-
tocrats on Fifth Avenue who couldn't
compare with these. little East Side
waits in delicacy OF features. The
faces Of the children were the best
proof Of the worth of the parents. |
gave the woman some money TO buy
them all dinner and carfare home.
She had spent her last penny 10 go
down TO bundle day headquarters. Ten
cents was what she had. The con-
ductor on the streetcar had made her
nav fare for the oldest child, so she
had nothing at all with which TO get
home.
There was another woman whose
Might wrung my heart. She had a
ten, days-old baby in her arms. Three
little tots were with her. All needed
clothing. The mother herself had come
out in the rain wearing the poorest
apology for shoes that | ever saw. |
could see the bare skin OF her feet.
Women Need Old Shoes.
The dreadful thing about these cases
was the fact that | knew there were
countless more just as bad. One woman

London, Feb. 15. Despite her many
activities in connection with hospital
and relief work. the Duchess OF MARI
borough has not lost sight OF any op..
portunity TO advance the cause OF
woman. On Thursday there will be a

home in Curzon Street, to discuss the
extension of the London School OF
Medicine.

of the best known hospitals IN the
country.

G. A. R. FACES WAR
in ITS OWN RANKS
Morgan Post Asks Court
to Enjoin Election of
Memorial Day Officers.

Dissension has stalked into the local
G.. A. r. ranks. For the first time in
thirty-two years the plscidity OF the
organizatio of veterans has been DIS
turbed. The first intimation of trouble
came Yesterday afternoon when John
X. Darragh, commander OF the r. II.
Morgan Post. obtained a temporary IN
junction from Justice Page, in the Su-
preme Court, restraining the Memorial
Dav committee from holding ITS an
nual election of officers.
The committee met last night IN the
BOARD Of Estimate chamber, but no
officers were chosen. All OF the vet
Grams were non-committsl-ther meet
ings are secret-but the undercurrent
Of excitement swept into the Corridors
General George 4. Loud, department
commander, presided, and the commit
toes made their reports, but the com
mittee on credentials, whose report is
q nrelude 10 the election usually, was
moi heard from.
General Loud is said TO have been
bebind Darragh's move. He has beeh
elected chairman OF the Memorial DAY
committee eight times in succession
This time. il is said, his answer 10
rumors Of impending defeat was the
filing of the application OF the lnJuhc-
tion through Darraeh. He contenas
that the credential committee admitted
"a representation at the meeting thIr-
teen delegates who should not nave
been elected. -,
Justice Page will hear argument on
the Injunction tomorrow. Wullsm n
Boyd will represent the organization
The legal move will probably TIE up
the annual election OF officers until
April or May. After the meeting last
night the veterans stood in groups on
the steps Of the City Hall. They we're
AT a los to understand how 1t all had
come about. -, u

For this reason It has been proposed
that an introduction bureau be estab-

He says the brown-the-hash girls have
6tenographers beaten to q frazzle In
the pastime Of grabbing on q meal

FABLE CARRIES MORAL
LESSON LEARNED BY PATRON OF
BARBER SHOP.
Sage Who Looked sstImes At the Mir.
rcr Had Reason to Congratulate
Himself That the Experience
Had Been He.

Now 1t fell ON Q day that I entered
the establishment of q tonsorial artist,
which Is, being interpreted, q barber
shop, says writer In the Advance.
And I sat and waited till the barber.
with loud voice, cried: Next" and
I seated myself In his chair. And he
welded oyer me divers deadly weap-
ons, and Herewith he cut my hair
and trimmed my beard. And sat
and looked at myself IN the mirror
and i baw myself in . great bib and
tucker, with patches of hair falling
down the front OF the same and re-
1ecting itself In the glass. And what
he was doing to me saw as In q
glass darkly. and what he was saying
to me was many things on divers top
les, for he was q man Of fluent speech.
And after had been shorn both as
to head and beard he passed his hand
over my head and said: Thy scalp
is not very clean. Thou hast need Of
q shampoo" And l consented, and
she soaped my head and washed It,
and rubbed It, and twisted 1t upon
my neck until 1t was nigh unto break
ing OF. Then he passed his hand
across my head and he said: Thy
hair across thy head grows thin. Let
me rub into thy scalp some of my ia
nous hair rcstorer. It will make hair
grow upon the top Of a cowhide
trunk" But said unto him: II am
not cowhide trunk" And he said:
s"Thou wilt soon be rs bald as one
II thou apply not my famous hair re-
storer." And 4 asked: "Speakest
thou as the friend of humanity or as
man who hath hair restorer for
sale?" And he answered: II speak az
friend Of humanity, nevertheless. for
the hair restorer and the rubbing in
thereof thou shalt pay to me the
fourth part Of dollar. in addition to
what thou already owest me-"
i. Now, It came to pass as he spake
these words. looked in the glass and
behold, he stood behind me. with the
bottle in his hand and with his left
hand spread ready;to rub 1t in, and
saw in the glass his eager face, and
above It his own head. And he leaned
forward as he spake, 30 that saw in
the glass the top of his head. and be-
hold, It was bald. Then spake unto
him, and said: "Oh thou friend of
humanity. who sellest hair restorer
and thy soul for the fourth part of
dollar. keep thou thy medicine and
use It upon thine own head, for I
have ten times as much hair on the
outside Of my head as thou hast, and
much more within It." And he was
wroth, and he combed my hair with
fury, and dug the bristles of the brush
into my scalp, and added dime to my
bill. Nevertheless nay heart rejoiced
that I had spoken unto him as did.
Then said I to my soul: / will take
heed to my ways, lest I become as
he. For / 60 forth among men and
ask them to buy Of me wisdom and
virtue and righteousness. So will
pray night and day unto the God of
heaven that may be able to recon-
mend among men the truth which God
hath revealed unto me, and that no
man reproacheth me with the bald
ness Of mine own soul. So shall
learn wisdom from the folly Of the
tonsorial artist.
