My HEART and

Adele Garrison's New Phase of
s. Revelations
of a Wife
The Way Richard Second" Re.
ceived Dieky's Gift.
D:L1 Ct ~,

My mother-in-law was the first
one of the group in the dining room
to give utterance to the astonish-
ment (which was consuming all OF
US at the ridiculous incongruity of
the present which Dicky had bought
for his year-old son. Her voice
held the imperative note which
marks extreme evaporation with
her, and saw Dicky shrug his
shoulders in resignation to the Wig
ging" which he knew was inevitable.
Have you taken leave of your
senses" she demanded acidly. Buy
ing thing like that for a year-old
baby!"
Across the dining room, framed in
the door leading to the kitchen,
Katie and Jim were watching the
opening of Juniors birthday fete. |
saw Katie hastily avert her face, and
dodge behind Jin's broad shoulders,
knew that the girl was struggling to
keep down a burst of laughter, a
happening which would have been
fatal to the peace of the dinner.
"Nothing's too good for Richard
Second" Dicky said, adroitly play
ing upon both her grandmotherly
pride and that of the name she had
chosen for her idolized grandson.

she snapped. s'But there are any
number of things which might be
too bad for him. and this is decided
ly one of Them"
Although my sentiments coincid-
ed exactly with those of my mother
in-law, yet l found myself illogical
ly championing Dicky's cause, re-
senting her criticism of him. Of
course, with a wary eye to the sue
cess of my dinner, l knew better
than to oppose her view openly, but

THE TROLLEY.

Who is the mysterious eenefactor, desirous of advancing at once the interests of the trolley company and of those, who ride thereon-but may cease to do so if the company doesn't raise the wind somewhere? The lawyer who introduced the kindly measure didn't sign his name. The trolley company denies all knowledge of the author or his work, merely intimating that it isn't sure it likes the idea of paT- ing interest at five per cent. on D1ch a loan.
 The governor in his inaugural message recommended the appoint ment of commission-perh not so expensive a commission as was the late Samuel Fessenden or the food investigators or even yet the gifted statute revisers, but still a commission - to tnvestisate the troll ley situation. But the unknown benefactor apparently thinks there is no need for investigation or isn't willing to wait for investigation. He wants action and he wants it quick. And the trolley executive says his company is in the position of a boy on Christmas morning.
 The trolley tells rather convinc- ing story of it's need of relief. A good many of us are feeling that in some way or other it must obtain re- lief, whether or not, in view of it's past picturesque deeds. it is entitled to relief. State or local government al ownership is not generally re- garded as desirable, but state or lo- cal government financial aid re- ceives serious consideration as a ne- cessity. The same people who dread to see the operation of the trolley entrusted to the politicians" can be made to view with equaninity the politicians loan to the trolley of the states money.
 Of course it is hardly likely that we shall pass over little matter of $2,000,000. as suggested by the un- known benefactor, without knowing somewhat more as to the benefac- tors identity and inspiration, something more as to the security and terms of the loan and some thing more as to the mannef in which the money is to be expended. In the olring past high quantities of trolley money went for things that didn't make riding any easier
 But the unknown benefactor is at least helping to focus attention on the trolley situation and the prob ability that some of us will have to do something to help the trolley if 1t can prove beyond reasonable doubt that 1t is incapable of helping itsele, Hartford Daily Times

 The street railway situation is such that a continuance of operation along present lines means speedy re- ceivership and possible abandonment of operation.

 There are three alternatives:
 "The continuance under private ownership with state supervision, with increased revenue or decreased expenses or a combination of the two or the so-called service at cost plan as is in force with the Boston Elevated Railroad Company-or state or federal ownership.
