THE ALIENS

Following the birth of Baby Anna,
when through succession of sick
nesses, the CAROLS finances had
reached their lowest ebb, Rose-still
the kind, practical Rose Rothberg OF
childhood-had met Annie on the
street one day.
Amt you the foolish one. worrying
yourself to a bone about the grocer,
and me with store where you can
take the whole stock and pay when
you hke!" said Rose heartily. Didn't
tell you l know what trouble is? You
amt got troubles, Ann, like there is
down my way. When you want
change you come down to my fiat and
sit a while with my mother while
tend the store. She hasn't been strong
for long while. She don't see hardly
any one but the children, and she gets
lonely.
Annie had accepted Roses offer Of
help. But the payment of the money
!, debt did not end the matter for Annie.
She kept up an affectionate friendship
with the Gubin- Rotfiberg family. She
drank many a hospitable glass of tea
with them, sat many an hour listening
to stories Of Russia, the RothbergS
coming to the Land of promise"
which, after all, had only substituted
new troubles for old. True, there we're
no hideous "pogroms" here. And a
Jew might travel where he would find
education in the public schools, follow
what profession he chose, live in what
ever neighborhood he could afford.
But, oh, the dirt!" Mrs. Rothberg
would hold up her hands-still hand
some, shapely hands, for all the house
hold delving they had done. and show
! ing strain of ancestral fineness.
THE dirt of Suffolk srteet! l think
when l first saw Suffolk street some
thing broke in my heart. The garbage
piled around the doorsteps. the push
carts loaded with everything in the
world and dust from the street blow
ing over them. The smells. The dirty
people. The dreadful, dreadful tene
ments. Nu, will | ever forget it?
And yet | remember" she would
go on in her broken English, "the first
night in that Suffolk street room.
There was my husband and me and
Rosie and the four smaller ones. We
made our beds on the bare floors. And
when we laid down to sleep, my hus-
band he said, Well, we will not be
disturbed by soldiers searching the
place! We will have peace"

Heart and Beauty Problems
BY Mrs. Elizabeth Thompeon

Dear Mrs. thompson: Ny par
ents died when l was quite small and
l was brought up by various rela-
uves. l am twenty-three years old
and have been , stenographer for
five years. l have got along splen-
didly with my work. am consider
ed pretty and intelligent and my
employers have always liked me and
! have liked them, but have never
had romance in any of the Offices
where / have worked. ] have always
taken men as huge joke and never
had serious thought about any of
them. But now 1t is different.
The president of the company
where l am now employed has shown
me marked attention when there was
an opportunity. l always feel so
strangely when he is near me. He
has a way of looking into your eyes
as II he were reading your very soul.
He Is considered a woman hater"
by other officers of the company. I
have heard them talk, and it seems
that 1t is know generally that he
dislikes women and for that reason
l have thought him a bad man and
have tried to avoid being left alone
with him at any time; but he has
persisted in arranging things so that
] have been thrown in his Office. /
believe the other members of the
office force have noticed it. He has
never been disrespectful to me; but
he looks at me in such a way and has
such a peculiar ring in his voice
when he talks to me when we are
alone that | get all nervous and want
to leave. I'm afraid of him. And I
have grown to think of him con-
stantly; positively can't put him out
of my mind.
He has asked me. on several &C.
casions, to go out to dinner with
him. | have always passed every
thing up, thinking he was trying to
make a fool out of me. l have al
ways felt indignant that he would
ask me. | have never liked the idea
of mixing social and business af-
fairs, 50 always refused.
Yesterday he asked permission to
call on me at my home. l explained
to him that it would be impossible
for me to receive friends at my
boarding house. He asked me to go
out to dinner with him. as he was
leaving town next morning and
wanted to talk to me about some
things before going away. l didn't
KNOW now 10 say no on tndt occasion
and hold my job, so we arranged to
meet and have dinner. He began by
telling me of the attraction that 1
had for him, and that he knew from
intuition that l did have for him.
began to feel afraid again and asked
him to discuss the plans that l was
to carry out while he was away.
Well he came back at me by asking
why was unhappy? l am not
happy, but it has never been dis
cussed with anyone, and I have al
ways been considered happy GO
lucky" He is the first person who
seemed to understand me at all, and
l believe he knows my very thoughts
We finally discussed everything
from office routine to plans for the
home He is so very interesting
Our ideas are great deal alike. We
ended our party on the doorsteps
and he asked me to marry him when
he came back | was so dumfounded
| couldn't think
| don't know what to do. l have

been reasonably happy until now,
considering what my life has been.
have written lots and lots of his
personal letters in the past eighteen
months and l feel that can safely
say that his character is above re-
proach, and l know that l do love
him. l have never had love affair
before; could it be a passing fancy?
felt last night that l couldn't even
leave him until he could 60 away to
finish up his business out of town,
Shall l accept him when he comes

make him happy? Would he tire Of
me because l am not his equal from
a social and educational standpoint?
l fully realize that l am not. He is
fifteen years my senior. Do you
think I could make him happy?
DESPONDENT.
Tell the man that you must know
him better before you can become
engaged. II, after a few months
friendship you find that you love
each other marry. II you strive to
improve yourself in the years to
come he will not tire of you. You
can make him proud of you socially
if you study and observe. Yes, !
believe you can make him happy If
you try.
