that she always had TO carry the
baby, It seemed long way 10 the
candy factory in Seventeenth street
where the neighborhood children
went to sniff the heavenly odor OF
cooking chocolate.
Sometimes the girls who didn't
have to lug babies would sneak off
without her. Annie could then join
one of the lesser social groups-say.
the Italian little girls or the Jewish
little girls-who were always ham
pered by many babies, and play un-
adventurous games on the doorstep.
Or she could go over TO the dock

THEY LOOK coon

America stepped along at pretty
rapid pace during the period OF tho
world war. II was n faster pace

al large and really surprised our
selves. especially since we have had

The worst OF It is that some OF us

gait OF the average citizen Ia run

money with less effort than We ever
had In all our lives and we spent II
with less thought OF the future. We
listened TO the lectures on thrift, but
they didn't sink in We talked
bravely OF saving, but didn't begin
to practice what we preached. Bc-
yond what we have invested in Lib
erty bonds, few OF us have anything
TO show for our economic jag.

In tho meantime We have double
duty to perform. We cmust help
Uncle Sam clean up tho .scauered

things" And her father answer,
She has little enough; I want her

Annie was always terrified at the

crossing. Before they stepped off the
curb Annie would look up and say,
Aunt Moggte, will you take care OF

ways answer. I'm take care OF you;

Then Annie would put her hand In
her aunt's, shut her eyes tight and
trot along, shivering deliciously at
the sound OF cars and wagons and
Gathering OF hoofs. But without n
fear In the world. Aunt Moggie had
promised. Stll. since the policeman
