Hand i'm the Home
Dogs and Babies

"A Cornerite asks for the donation of
a dog. presumably for a pet Our good
mother hopes she will get it. AS the risk
of being voted disagreeable l hope she
will not get one. My reason? Sure. Here
it is: Every city in this country and S+en
many small towns are conducting free
milk and free ice depots for poor children
who are denied the barest necessities of
life. Excursions into the country are
formed and paid for by people who send
some into the country for pure, free air.
Why not urge 'Cornerte' to mother some
baby so that tired woman may be re-
l:eved or permitted to labor that nourish-
ment may be given to her family? Dogs
and cats are nuisance unless kept with
indoors; the latter is nothing more than
breeding quarters for flees and are not
Zee from danger from overhead. Dogs at
large befoul every shrub and bush;
gather the mongrel neighborhood, and
can't compare with sweet babies. If Old
Cornerite, who asks for eyeglasses knew
how impossible it is to use any old
glasses without injury to vision she
would better go to the nearest 10-cent
store and get a pair giving good vision.
If her eyes are normal all she needs is
magnifying glasses. CORNERITE."

we to know our home brands if other
people will show their goods?
There are hundreds of women want
ing job at the fair. They want to help
me handle the fancy work. Mrs. Reed
said, smiling. Some of them just think
my work is all of that nature but 1 as
sure them there is some real effort to
it, and dealing with thousands of people
is a job you have to know However,
it is pleasant if you understand there is
a great deal more good than evil in a
greater number of the people The one
secret is to forget you are flesh and
blood and let the dissatisfied person do all
the getting mad F."
ut takes a good deal of ready money
to operate a fair" Mrs. Reid said" and
our people at home should realize their
responsibility in this event. Did you ever
calculate on what Birmingham could do
if every citizen would attend the fair one
day out of the ten? Just think the
population of Greater Birmingham for
1915 numbers 19S990 citizens. If the spirit
of patriotism prevailed we would have
from Birmingham attendance alone of
$685. 495. That would be enough money
from the city to build beautiful new

David was nowhere in sight. Cora

Impatience became anger. The

But there was a fact. No getting
around that! David was simply not

Very well-she would wait no
longer. Luckily she was one of
those women who always carried
money. She hurried to the bus and
squeezed in between two men who
made room for her. She would

shot through her. Could David have
stopped to chat with--her?
Cora reached home with her in
dignation past the point of ex-
preston. Cold silence clamped her
as in a wise. She heard David's
key in the latch. Her lips closed
angri1y. She felt that if she spoke
she might say things beyond re-
pair. Besides, what explanation
could there be? Facts were facts,
and that's all there was to it.
David was silent, too. And for two
whole miserable days the Temples
moved through the common events
of life without exchanging an I'M
necessary word. Just silence, cold,
hateful, uncomfortable silence.
