;, Their Married Life

Helen turned away. There was
really nothing she could do, and by
that time the crowd was thinning.
A second later the ambulance bell
changed and as it drew up along the
curb, the child was lifted in the arms
of burly policeman and was laid
almost tenderly upon the stretcher.
AS the wagon vanished around the
corner, Helen walked mechanically
across the street and into little
shop. A saleswoman walked up and
asked her what she would have. Helen
felt a little faint and sank gratefully
into a chair that stood near.
There has been an accident" she
said after few moments. Il feel al
most sick over it."
II wondered why the crowds had
gathered" said the sympathetic sales
woman, but we have something hap
pening in Broadway every day and
thing" Helen thought it dreadful to
be so accustomed to horrible things.
But she could see from the sales
woman's manner that she was really
sympathetic at heart and willing TO
| be as sorry as Helen herself only she
could not be quite so impressed.
What was it," the woman was
saying.
"A little boy" said Helen raising
her head. "Only a child, and he was
cut horribly" oh" to a man who
had just come in, did the man who
owned the machine do anything?"
HE has just gone down to the hos
pital now," said the man. Said he
was sorry, but the kid ran right un-
der the wheels.
How heartless. said Helen indig-
nantly. "Of course, ii wasn't exactly
his fault, but still he might have been
little more human with tho child"
Il
said the man He was pretty badly
cut up"
Did you want anything, madam"
said the saleswoman, after they had
exclaimed at the extent of the child's
| injuries.
mo. I don't" said Helen, 'I came
in because I simply had to have a
place TO sit down. 1t just staggered
me for a few moments"
Helen took the Forty-second street
car over to her favorite lunch place.
She felt too weak TO walk and hated
1 to take a taxi for such short dis
tance. All through lunch the thing
haunted her. OF course, to some peo-
| pie il would have been but the incl
! dent of a day, but to her It seemed
tragedy that such things had to hap
! pen. She thought of it all the way
home after she had wandered through
one of the department stores and had
/ bought some new shoes.
When she reached the apartment
the quiet of it oppressed her and moth
| ing seemed to interest her for long.
How strange, she thought to herself,
, that all morning the sense of disas-
! ter had overwhelmed her. After all.
! she had been mistaken in feeling the
way she had. She supposed that War
rem would read about 1t in the paper
| before he came home that evening
| He would laugh at the way she felt
and probably call her squeamish. Well
she could not help it, she was bull;
that way and a thing of this kind
would have to run its course.

From the time she awoke in the
morning Helen had an inexplicable
feeling of impending disaster; every
thing seemed to be colored with sad
thoughts, and after Warren left she
got into her clothes and walked quick
ly to the subway. 1t was a beautiful
morning, warm and Springlike, but
even in the warmth and thrill of the
busy city she found herself still va
Suely unhappy as she whtzzed away
down town.
She looked around at the people in
the car. Across the way a young girl
was reading a newspaper. Next to
her sat a workman. Some college
boys with books were talking about
the days work. Everybody seemed
busy and happy. and there was not
reason in the world for her unhappy
feelings. Helen reasoned from the
fact that If she had been a stronger
woman she could have argued away
her foolish fears. But the very fact
that she belonged to a certain type of
woman was against her. She could
neither argue on strong subjects with
another nor could she convince her.
self that the feelings she was enter
tanning were superstitious.
At Times Square she ran lightly up
the steps and walked along Broad
way, gazing idly into the shop win
dows. There was nothing in particu-
lar on her mind so far as shopping
was concerned. She had come down
town more for the feeling of human
contact that 1t gave her than for any
thing she had to purchase.
After she had walked down a
couple of blocks. she stood on the
corner a few minutes and waited for
a pathway among the ceaseless traf-
tic. 4 Broadway car was changing
up the street, and n steady stream of
taxis was whirling into Broadway. a
little newsboy with a sheaf of papers
under his arm darted out of the
crowd waiting at the curb and started
across the street. Helen gave a little
cry of horror as she saw a large
touring car slip in ahead of the line
of taXis, thinking to find a clear thor
oughfare. The boy tried to step back,
but it was too late, and the from:
wheels passed over his body.
\ second later the crowd had thick
ened around the child, and the whole
scene was blotted from Helen's sight.
AS a general rule Helen would have
avoided such a sight, but this morn
ig something compelled her to go for
ward and see what harm had been
done.
The boy was scarcely more than
a child She had seen that as he had
stood ahead of her, thin little figure
with the customary shabby garments,
She pushed her way through the crowd
and saw him lying on the overcoat
which some one had kindly pushed
forward. There was an ominous dark
stain on his blonde hair and his eyes
were closed. His face seemed very
white and thin. and the newspapers
he had carried were scattered over the
street. Some one stopped to pick
them up, and Helen with a little sob
stopped and pressed a bill into the
limp little hand.
Where are they going TO take
him." said Helen to an onlooker. The
man she addressed turned to look al
her and another woman turned out
of the crowd and said: They have
sent for the ambulance"

Every normal girl likes dainty under
wear and if she has time, she likes to
make it herself. Here is a night gown
that can be treated in several different
ways. On the figure it is made of crepe
de chine with trimming of lace, with the
neck square and the sleeN es are cut off
q little below the elbows. 1t is very
charming and dainty and perfectly
adapted to the warm house. In one Of
the small views, it is shown with high
neck and collar and with long sleeves,
and Is made of domet flannel. When
1t is treated in that way it is the most
comfortable possible garment to wear
when the nights are cold. There is very
little resemblance between the two
garments, but nevertheless the one pat
tern makes both; there are besides
many other materials that could be used.
Batiste makes charming gowns of the
daint1er sort, and there are MANY fine
washable cotton fannels and there are
also the silk fannels that are really
luxurious when warmth is needed.

with those of January which we should naturally suppose would be the high-water mark of the hard winter, we find that the number of offico calls is slightly increased, the number of telephone interviews was largely in creased and the number of applicn- tons for some service that we could render was larger by twenty. In the month just ended, there were 32g calls at our office. 211 of these being from applicants for some service that we could render. 115 visits were made by the agents in behalf of the fam lilies we were interested in. Ten bus mess calls were made. There were sos telephone interviews conducted and VIC were aided by volunteer office work amounting to five hours. Tn all, we were in touch with 209 families during the month although only twen- ty-three of these were new families requiring a definite plan for organiz- ing aid. There were nine transients and nine new applicants of whom we have kept no record. Tn the matter of treatment, ten families have received temporary weekly aid, thirty-two have received emergency aid, one family was assisted with rent, clothing was given to twenty-five, medical aid for three and optical aid to one person. Transportation was provided for three a good home secured for one littlo neglected child and ono boy was given a chance to make good in an excellent school in this state. In courtesy to our society, the expenditure for the lads board has been reduced to a mini mum and since friends stand ready to provide for this expense, 1t will not now or at any other time appear upon our books.
 Loans amounting to $12.25 were made and fifteen children of school age were provided with shoes through our special shoe fund at an expense of $33.44. Seventeen families were aided from the treasurer's fund at an expense of $62.40 and sixteen families were aided by the agents spe- cial funds at an expense of S92.41, making the total amount of aid from treasurer's fund, agents fund and spe- cial shoe fund $1SS.25.
