A little child shivers IN the cold rain
Its bare arms and legs are blue with
cold. Thr0ugh-the rents IN the single
ragged garment that covers rs thin lit
tie body, thin from four years Of not
enough TO eat, are seen black and blue
sears. The scars are from heaiings
from the brutal hand OF an Austrian
Invader.
Over here.
A plump. rosy-cheeked youngsler, 10
warm under-lannels, proud Of a clean,
new dress, holds out It's hands for

coat. II has many clothes 10 wear.
Does the mother think only Of her lit
tie one. and says what a nuisance 10 is
70 be asked for clothes Tor Europe or

Of good clothes and take them down 10
the old City Hall next week, 10 the Red

A widow, whose husband has been
killed In q war not Of her making, but
which has taken everything away from

rags, not even wooden shoes being OBJ
tainable Her tattered skirt conceals
her lack OF stockings, The only covering
over her stopped shoulders is a cotton
waist The one under flannel the Ger
mans left when they rode laughing
away from the burned ruins Of her
home has long been made into made /
quate shirts for her orphaned children /
she does not cry. She has wept In the /
past until no tears are left.

A girl tries on her new sprihg hat
and blouse, heEchief worry In life be-
ing as % whether she shall get purple

should she have the bother Of hunting
up clothes and taking them down TO the
Old City Hall for Europe? Besides she
might want 20 wear them again. II she
could so over 10 Europe and see the
widow and thousands like her, this girl
who after all Is generous hearted
