TO BE HELD ON LAWN
OF IRENEE DUPONT

Saving babies"-what social SER
vice carries with it greater possibili-
ties for a community, more happiness
to mothers, greater pleasure to the
workers?
With such thoughts as these the
medical profession OF this city and
vicinity as, well as all who are con-
versant with the splendid work which
is being accomplished by the Day
Nursery and Hospital for Babies, view
the benefits accrGing from this insti-
tuition.
To see sicRly little babes brought
into the hospital one day and then TO
see the little darlings a week or more
later when they have gained a pound
or so and have on their faces happy
little smile instead of the look of pain
this is manifold reward to all en-
gagged in the work Of the hospital for
their efforts.

baby lives and ensuring them the

which is restoring them 10 health. are
having their baths in the miniature
tubs al the hospital and are cared for
with other equipment especially to
suit the baby's small body.
In the kindergarten department NO
less than seventeen children and
sometimes as many as thirty are car

mothers may go out to make a living
or to relieve worn mothers from the
responsibility of caring rOr their bab-
ies so that they. too. may be bene-
fitted by the rest.
Such is. all too briefly told. the
work Of the Day Nursery and Hospi-

grand purpose for which the insti-
tuition is created. II requires strenu-

Hardness to herself as she put

nO1 - ue IKE IL, 0alQ HuC0
Hardness to herself as she put
the seasoning into the rich
2 mince pies she was making.
There was one -she held an old fash
toned green edged scalloped plate In
her hand and looked at It thoughtful
ly-yes, there was just meat enough
for one more pie. She would sprinkle
it full of whole raisins, carefully
stoned, and Glove stuck In each one,
and she would put a little butter in
just "a little, lest It might not be rich
enough-and about a spoonful Of
brown sugar, to make It extra sweet
and dark, and then she would save it
she knew for what. It was only that
perhaps John Prouty would come
around on Thanksgiving evening.
John was always fond Of mince pies,
as she remembered perfectly well, and
now his mother was dead, and he was
living at Uncle James, and Aunt
James Prouty had rheumatism, and
altogether there was not much pros
pect for John to have any Thanksgiv-
ing unless he came there for it.
And so Thanksgiving day came, and
there were uncles and cousins and
friends of all parties by dozens and
dozens gathered beneath Farmer Hank
ness hospitable roof, and in the cool
gray twilight, as Ruth fitted back and
forward, always intent on some busy
mission, she was watching down the
lane for John. She would know his
broad shoulders and his we'll worn
brown surtout, and even as she watch
ed they came in sight they and a
bright plaid cloak which belonged to

Hours and hours Ruth sat alone 81
tho Kitchen IRE waiting for the last
sound OF life to die out In, the house
that she might rake up the ,embers and
lock the doors. for she was q notable
housekeeper, this brave young girl, and
took her invalid mothers place AZ far
az possible In all things. Il
But while she was sitting alone by
the kitchen fire she heard soft rap
at the window, and, looking up, she
saw Johns face In the moonlight, ear
lest and smiling as he beckoned to her.
In the instant the thought flashed
over her.. proud and decorous Yankee
girl that she was. that he had been
spending the evening with Miss Greg
DRY, and it was worse than impertinent
for him to call there on his way home.
She would not answer his summons.
She thought he would 60 away, and so
he did-from the window, but only to
come quietly In at the door.
Sitting down On the settee beside
her, he spread his hands over the dy-
ing embers to warm them and said.
with slight SILVER: - &.
i. ut is chilly out tonight, Ruth, and
l have been thinking Of you"
She turned up her nose a little at
this; but, dreading to hear anything
more that she would think was false,
she told him very quietly:
II saw you go down the lane with
Miss Gregory early this evening. I
should think it most likely that you
had been thinking of her since then"
John turned and looked at her, lots
Of fun trimming up in his brown eyes.
But when. he saw how tired and sad
she looked he answered her gently:
mo, little girl; have been thinking
Of you, as said, and the last thing l
did before coming here was to drink
a cupful Of tea and eat piece of pie
Of your making. While 1 drank the
tea I was thinking-no doubt it will
sound foolish to you-but 1 was think
ing how every one Of those little grains
had been cuddled in the palm of your
hand as you measured them out, and
the pie was as sweet as though you
had stirred the mince with your finger
before putting it between the crusts.''
Ruth was laughing and blushing at
his foolish words, and he, enjoying her
confusion, put up one hand and drew
her head down on his shoulder.
II don't know what you mean," she
said presently. II haven't turned cook
for Miss Gregory"
NO. he interrupted her; IT forgot
that you didn't know where I had
been. Tom Gregory was thrown from
a colt tonight, and they thought his
leg was broken. His sister came across
lots for me to 60 down there and see
what could do for him. We didn't
like to stop at your house for help,
because you had so much company, SO
we went and got Ma'am Jefferson and
took her over with US. We made the
boy as comfortable as we could, and
she said no bones were broken. So
then went home with her, and there
was the fire your care had frightened,
and the tea and the pie.'
The girls heart was beating very
fast as John said, "My Thanksgiving
will be complete, Ruth. If you will
promise to be my wife,"
After they were married she told him
that the pie had been made on pur-
pose for him.
