By this time we had reached the club which
was our destination. 1t is the newest of the
service clubs, opened only short time ago
by the National League for Womens Service
at the corner of Madison Avenue and Thirty
ninth Street.
At the top of the brownstone steps stood
Miss Whine, the director of the club sml-
ing welcome, and l delivered the invalid
into her charge and hurried back to the sta
tion. The next day I heard the rest of the
story. The soldier boy had been given into
the care of the orderly at the club He

Birthday Parties BY Proxy

have my mother, who is working on the Aid
for Homeless French and Belgian Children
write to France and get the names of four
little French and three little Belgian children
and will each play that we have adopted
of them, and when our birthdays come we
will give the child who has the birthday the
things the poor little French child will need
and we will make the presents into a parcel
and tie it up at the party and send it to the
child all ourselves"

cried mademoiselle, who entered into the plan
with all her French enthusiasm
All the mothers of the children approved
heartily and offered all sorts of helpful sug-
gestions in carrying the scheme out. Marcias
mother easily obtained the names of seven
French and Belgian children whose ages near
ly corresponded to those of the seven children
who lived safely in their big gardens in
Goshen.
On Aans birthday, which came on June 2l,
the children could hardly wait for 3 o'clock in
the afternoon to come around. Everybody
knows that that is the hour at which every
properly conducted birthday party begins At
the very moment that the shadow on the big
dial in the middle of Alans fathers od-fash-
Toned garden marked the hour of 8, the six
hilarious guests trooped through the gate and
up through the fower-bordered walk and
knocked impatienty with the ancient knocker
Alans front door,
There was no difference between this party
and every other nice birthday party one has
ever attended. There was the same cav
marquee tent and the same ice cream and
cookies in the shapes of hearts and trees and
houses and little men; only after the maids
had cleared the table did the difference appear.
