I'll see Alice Cannot 1t will be something
of surprise for Alice Cannot.
And then she put her lips together some
thing the way Mrs. Paine did when she
heard the baby cry.
Mrs. Cannot lives on the same street
with Mrs. Paine. The same street with the
baby too, only sevral houses farther down.
/ suppose that is the reason she has noticed
the little girl so much, because they all live
so near each other. Well, it was about FIVE
O'Clock the next afternoon that Mother
started out to see Mrs. Cannot. When |
why no, | couldn't go to Mrs. Gannets
with her, but / could walk part way if
wanted to. So we started and of course it
didn't take us very long to get down as far
as Mrs. Paines.
Mother looked up at the house as she
wentby, and she stopped as if she was think
head very quick. There was baby crying
and Mother stood there listening until it
cried again real high and sharp. Then
Mother turned her head quicker than ever
and walked on to Mrs. Gannets.
You can wait for me until 1 come back
again, Felix, she said.
Harry was out there by this time, and /
waited round with him a little wondring
how soon she would be back. Pretty soon
1 thought l would ask Harry something.
Did you hear what your Mother said
yesterday about that little girl that takes
care of the baby2 I said.
Yes, he answered; she isn't any good
Mother said somebody ought to tell the
baby's Mother she doesn't treat him right,

All right, lets go and tel her, Harry an
swered me. Come on, Felix Ijust as soon,
wouldn't your
l was kind of surprised to have him an
swer me as quick as that, but I wouldn't let
him see I was surprised, either.
Why, yes, 1 said, l guess I just as
soon.
All right, he answered, come along, Felix,
lets go and tell her.
He was starting right off for the next yard
and I didn't say another word but just
went following right along too. Pretty
soon we were way out there behind the
house. Then both of us stopped.

didn't answer. There was a lady with her
that had been making a call 1 guess, and
they stopped minute to talk a little
more.
Well, Just as they were standing there
and just as Harry and were standing there
on the walk, there came something all of a
sudden that made evrybody look up and
listen.
1t was that same kind of a high, sharp cry
like baby that heard when was in the
yard that other time.
Mrs. Paine put her lips together very
tight
Oh, that little Susan Dale! she said, she's
abuzing that child againl It doesn't seem
as if could live here and let it go on.
Little Susan Dale1 the other lady said.
Oh, yes, I know about her, she said, and she
looked up at the next house as if there was
some sort of secret about it. Does she do
that sort of thing1
Yes, she does, Mrs. Paine answered.
And yet if should say anything about it,
nobody would believe me. They say she's
divoted to it. Divotedl When she's left
alone with it she ties it up in the back yard
and leaves 1t there whole morning some
times. I can see it all from my window.
She was whipping it out there yesterday
afternoon. You wouldn't think to look
at her that she had such a temper, would
you? But she's got it in her to be veritible
little fiend. don't pretend to say what she
was doing when it cried out like that just
then. I'd rather not even imagine.
Why don't you go over there? Why
don't you do something about it? the other
lady asked her, and Mrs. Paine just
smiled.
should be told to attend to my own af-
fairs, she said. Besides that, don't think
for a minute that I could make anybody
believe that she wasn't divoted to it. You
know there's certain feeling in the neigh
borhood in regard to little Susan Dale.
Of course. It's that kind of a case.
And the lady glansed at the house again and
then she turned to 60 down the steps.
Well, in the evening told Mother about
it. Euything that Mrs. Paine had said.
She looked at me quick and surprised, as if
she didn't exackly understand, and yet as
If she was listening very close.
Doesn't the child's Mother know about
it1 she asked me-

them to get around an hour or so
earlier in the evening is something
Further, the cares of the day are such
that this relaxation in the night is
something almost necessary To cut off
all amusement would be to further de-
press the public spirit, which is now
at ebb tide
Until the war makes it absolutely
imperative. amusements should not be
taken off the board Show places
where men and women might find in
nocent amusement, surcease from sor-
row, are for the public good. The
harm they do is negligible. The good
they spread cannot be measured in
any mean terms. So, we should saw
let the theaters stay open until the
customary hours of closing. And
along with the theater all those other
places that afford relief from depres-
sion. Closing the theaters earlier and
opening them earlier will make no diff
ference in the saving of coal. The ONLY
way to do that is to close them alto
gether.
