During the moment in which he had
succeeded in diverting her attention the
young man had slipped the three photo
graphs in their folded leather frame into
one of his capacious pockets. Hts mis-

II she would give him a kiss. This was
a thing which. Il seaned to her. she
could neither accord hor refuse. She
simply burst into tears. The professor
shrugged his great shoulders. grunted
like a pig and abruptly took his de-
parture.
Still weeping. the little girl found her
way to a plaza that opeped off the liv-
ing hoom. Here she seated herself on a
very small chair that was her very own
and Rept on crying until she had almost
forgotten what she was crying about.
Tommy Barclay. still lingering about
the premises, traced the infantile walls

pathetic fave above the veranda railing,
across which he had thrown one leg,
started tears again, for he was her best
friend in the world, and she wished to
tell him all about the wicked man with

Responsibility in
Friendship
BY MRS. FRANK LEARNED.

AS4hor Of The Etiquette Of New York
Today" Ideals for Girls etc.
There is great responsibility in friend
ship. We are apt to forget that we owe
much to a friend who comes into our
life. We like to De cheered and
stimulated ourselves I'm the companion
ship of congenial friends, but we do not
always think what we may be to them,
what they may be looking for, waiting
OF hoping for; just a word of cheer or
sympathy, or encouragement, or. 1t may
be, word OF counsel. We are. often too
self-absorbed to see what they want, or
perhaps. we are selfishly indifferent,
provided we have been pleased and
cheered ourselves. Truly, we are not fit
to be a friend until we realize respon-
sibility in friendship The essential thing
is to be a friend.
A word may save friend from fool
Ish or an imprudent action, or a very
grave mistake. But we need TO have
much tact in speaking the word. A
gentle suggestion often helps. Friend
ship does not take for granted the rough
telling OF faults, or tho making OF harsh
criticisms. II it is necessary to speak a
strong word which will arouse con-
science and clear the way to nobler
things. the word must be spoken
bravely. true friend is not one who
flatters. not one who is blind to our
faults. but who inspires us to do our
best To give strength to a friend in
time OF weakness or disbursement is
a glorious privilege.

Bill Is, and House Bill 10. On the
following day Senator Keim and Hon.
Thompson introduced eur bill into
their respective houses, the bills tax
ing the numbers. Senate Bill lis and
House Bill 1SS. before selecung Mr.
Thompson to sponsor our bill in the
House, Senator keim, who was ready
% subscribe to everyone OF It's provi-
Sions, and / went to Governor Hatfield
TO ask MIN to designate some member
of the House Labor Committee who
would be strong man to look after
the bill. Hs Recommended Mr.. Thomp
son. Mr.. Thompson favored most OF
the provisions OF the bill, and was
willing to introduce it. He stood by
the bill in quiet way. but disappoint-
ed US greatly in not being capable OF
defending it.
At the conference with Governor
Hatfield we went over the TENS OF
our bill one by one. and Governor Hat
.leld expressed himself in no uncertain
terms. saying eight hours was Ions
enough for adults to work and that he
would like to. see q universal eight
hour work day. SO of course ne favor
ed the eight hour day for children. In
referring to night work he said. it is
inhuman" for children to be compelled
to work at night, and on being asked
II he stood by the terms OF our bill
he replied that 1t satisfied him and
he wanted all its provisions.
Our bill providedrfor the extension
of the 14-year age limit to other occu-
pations, the eight hour day, the pro-
hibition of night work and the listing
Of dangerous occupations for children
under Is years of age, and Is year
age limit for messenger service after
8 P. NJ. in cities over 10000 popula-
ton. twelve year limit for boys and
eighteen for girls insthe street trades,
and various changes to secure more
adequate enforcement of the law.
The other bill provided for the ex.
tension of the 14+year age limit to
other occupations, with a list practi
cally identical with, ours. the nine
hour day and thekistfng of dangerous
occupations for children. under is
this list including messenger servire
after 10 P. NJ"
At the outset the President Of the
State Federation Of Labor, Mr.. Harry
} P. Corcoran, tried to impress on MT
the secure influence the Federation
possessed in the Legislature, and as
lsured me our wisest policy was t.
adopt their standard and support
their bill. Needless to say, such &
course was out of the question Later
was assured, in discussing the CUES
ton Of the prohibition Of night work
that Governor Hatfield would not sup
port any measure affecting labol
which the Federation was opposed to

referred to his committee, whereas
our bill had gone to the Judiciary
Committee He called a meeting to
consider his bill. Our friends on the
committee succeeded in having action
deferred until both bills should be be-
fore this committee. After the hear
ing on the following day on our bill
saw that the committee was packed
against US and so went to the Fedora
ton Of Labor with a compromise that
would result in getting the best pos
sible bill reported out. AS conces-
sion to Mr.. Weiss, who wanted child
labor law principally as political
capital, / offered to substitute his
standards in our bill and let him call
the bill his. Our bill was by far the
better drawn OF the two, and contain
ed many desirable provisions that
were lacking in his. This compromise
left the way open for amendment on
the floor of the House to give US prac-
.ically our original bill. In the COM
promise the night work provision, and
the section ON street trades were en-
tirely eliminated. Lii
| DR.. McCullum and Mr.. Moore sue
ceeded in amending the bill in com
mittee to porhibit night work, and
this amended bill the committee voted
10 report favorably. But behold! the
chairman of the committee, Mr.. Weiss
became aware the next morning, just
before he reported the bill, that it
prohibited night work, and, instead of
taking the action that the committee
agreed on, he called hurried meetb@
of the committee for the purpose of
striking out this provision. The COM
mittee, then. by a sweeping amend
ment reduced all the sixteen year age
limits to fifteen years. The next day
this bill was rported out as House
Bill No. 10 by!Mr. Weiss.
VX1I1BN this bill came up on sec
w ond reading, DR.. McCollum
again offered the night work amend
ment, and Mr.. Wolfe, one of the ablest
speakers on the floor, defended it.
Mr.. Duty, the Republican floor leader,
Mr.. Hughes, the next leading Republi-
can, and Mr.. Moreland, the Demo
cratic floor leader, also made strong
speeches in favor of the amendment
The opposition was championed by
Mr.. Otto, former superintendent Of
glass factory in Wheeling, and by Mr.
Brown and Mr.. Hinerman, both OF
Moundsville. The latter read a tele'
gram from the president of the Eos
toria Glass company. In spite of this
and powerful lobby of the glass in
terests, the amendment was adopted
by a large majority. All other amend
ments including one Of ours to restore
the sirteen year age limit for work
permits, were lost and the bill was
ordered to third reading.
Before the bill could finally pass
other compromises became necessary
The Republican floor leader and 10th
ers felt that in order to save the bill
from defeat on the final vote the OBJ
tjections, especially of those who want
| ed children to work in stores owned
