home in Cumberland.
The grounds surrounding the public
buildings in the Park as we'll as many
of the lots owned by private individ-

financial values of the properties.

Promptly at eleven chairs that fit
are put up TO charming little tables
and small Polander and Russian get
the daily lesson in unselfishness and
table manners.
To some, a tablecloth, napkin and
regular tableware, too, are novelties
not understood at all but endured, and
rather enjoyed when delicious cocoa,
bread and butter, vegetable or bean
soup is the return for using them. No
one Gish is served two days in sue
cession.
In good weather the children are
turned loose in the big sunshiny back
yard where the tormenting neighbor-
hood hoodlums cannot modest them,
or they romp at will in the cheerful
nursery, with its abundant fresh all
and sunshine, and when sleepy they
are tucked away in snowy cribs-like-
wise, in many instances, the first in

bed
Loving care has covered the entire
sweep of floors with linoleum, that

ed from splinters.
In mid afternoon comes another red
letter hour, when bread and jam is
served in between wonderful sessions
with handy teddy bears, hobby horses
kiddy cars, velocipedes, Noah's Arks
and noble colonies of dCllies, and
camps OF soldiers.
Every night when the mothers come

Keep my babe? YesE Mo-"
Eyes We will keep your baby"
Daily, excepting Sunday this eager
question is breathlessly hurled at the
matron of the Salvation Army's Stun
Settlement and Day Nursery down at
e&G South Anne street, and daily comes
oSsc6 the comforting assurance that
s gCds the worried working mother
svohing off to shop, or factory with her
e,t.!e che out of her arms and out of
lE.5.rms way for the day.
Now the demand for admission for
their children has become so great
that many times daily must the re-
fusal be given as the Board of Health
has set limit on the children ad-
mitted, though Captain Prendeville
and her assistants would cheerfully
take every little fodder brought to
them if they had the room, beds and
the equipment to care for them. Now
twenty-five is all that can be accom-
modated.
These infants and todders are
washed, fed, amused and put into
snowy beds for their maps and the
charge is five cents a day and no war
tax.
Nothing in the world today is so
cheap, and yet so freighted with value
as this Salvation Army Service to
helpless children.
Picture these little people of from
six months to eight years as they are
poked bundle fashion through the lit,
tie side gate Of the Settlement House
before Z o'clock each morning as their
mother hastily answers the whistle
call to the factory or packing house.
Dirty, smelly, cross and hungry, fire.
quently swarming with vermin, these
small American born Poles, Russians
and Italians are anything but attract
i've samples of humanity. Unwelcome,
forlorn and anemic bits of human
fiotam, most of them born out of wed.
lock, they are pitifully pathetic.
On arrival, they are tagged, and
their clothing removed either to be
hung to air or washed. Sometimes
little one is brought to the Nursery
whose clothing has not been removed
in months and where parents follow
the custom Of sewing them into their
trappings in early fall and of which
they are not Invested until the next
summer.
Often the first bath they have ever
had they get at the Nursery, for Cap
tain Prendeville puts cleanliness
where a long line of New England
ancestry has emphasized it-next tc
Godlines and for her to do for them
they II ust be clean! She will do the
cleaning thoroughly too After the
first shock, the children enjoy the
novel sensation.
Fresh apron dresses are put upor
them ami here too, the great mother
love, thai is the guiding principle il
this braI ch of the work is shown fol
no two aprons are made alike. Fal
from the institutional idea, this-bu
close to he childish heart, for the lit
tie garm ats all have pockets.

Home had passed her, and then came
back to sit and talk with her. After
coaxing out the story the Oficer made
her throw away the poison and
brought her here to stay.
She pleaded with her brother to keep
her secret, threatening to kill herself
# he failed her, making him agree to
let the family believe her still safe and
hard at work.

never saw print. The sequel too
never saw print, for a determined
young man some days later-appeared
with a shame faced man and a wed
ding was consummated-true there
was none Of the usual joy and festivity
but that girl was spared facing the
world and her family, with nameless

PRESIDENT HARDING MAKES
GOOD IN OPENING HIS TERM
Good Nature and Quiet Determination
Felt in Relations With Congress

FSlI III hel1tlJnS WIN congress
, President Harding has made good.
This is the unanimous verdict of
Washington. Members Of Congress
and executive officials outvie in praise
of an administration which has gone
ahead without Dunder san dhas func-
toned with the ease of a Well--oiled
machine.
Before the Republican convention
last June the party was rent with the
temporary dissension of a great con-
test for the Presidency. When Sena-
tor Harding was nominated those
leaders who had been opposed to him
awaited with confidence the impress
sion he would make upon the country.
They were not disappointed. He con-
Quoted himself during the campaign
without an error. After the inaugu-
ration the Democrats expressed the
hope that serious mistakes would be
made, that the large majorities in the
House and Senate would be unweildy,
and that patronage would cause dis
sension. But two months have passed
without mistakes, with a unity of pur-
pose in doing away with the malad-
mlnlstratlon of the Wilson regime,
and with a SOW parcelling out OF the
larger offices on basis of efficiency
alone. The result is that the Demo-
Gratis are even more Respondent than
Immediately after the election, for
then they were merely defeated, and
now they are disappointed and with
out immediate hope of restoration.
The salutary change of administra-
ton is noticed especially in the atti.
tude of the President toward Con-
gress. Mr.. Wilson was arrogantly
disposed, brooked no opposition and
could gain no concessions from an OPP
position determined upon the mainte-
nance of the frmest Americanism.
Mr. Harding maintains the dignity and
independence of the chief executive
office in the land, but does it with a
harmonious and friendly relationship
with Congress, based upon mutual APP
probability, which heigtens the
effect of a rule of reason rather than
of unreasOn. Mr.. Wilson kept the
gates Of the White House locked two
years after the war. Mr.. Harding I'M
locked them and the crowds have
daily gained admittance. Alliances
with Europe have gone by the board.
Uncle Sam is asserting his own rights
rather than yield them to an abstrac-
ton of international amity. Extrav-
agance and waste have ceased. Com
merce is being stimulated without
GRIPPING business, after serious fin
ancial depression brought on during
the last two years of the Wilson ad-
ministration. Soundness and intel
ligence reign in all the departments.
And the Presidents unfailing good ma
ture and quiet determination of char
acter are accepted as the reliance of
the nation.

THE STORY HE DID NOT WRITE

The city editor of paper in near
b. city had long sought to get some
human interest stories from the Sal
vstion Army Rescue Home He had
sent repeatedly 10 try to coax out a
real ''sob story from its matron, and
though the young reporter knew that
she would not divulge any names OF
facts upon which he could pin a good
feature or news story he resolved TO
try once more.
After a pleasant little talk that
yielded no more grist for his mill than
had been the case in previous visits,
he took his departure.
Just az he stepped down from the
porch, a woman's hat blew over the
high latticed gate that concealed the
side entrance to the yard. He quickly
stopped to rescue the hat and looked
up as the gate opened into the face
of his own sister. His surprise gave
place to horror as he observed her con-
dition-and for a moment he was dumb
before the appearance of his baby sis
ter, at this of all places and in this
plight.
She broke down and told him Of her
betrayal and desertion by her fancee-
his boyhood Chum whom their whole
.amily had loved aud trusted.
Realizing her disgrace, she had left
'.i2e home town and come to this city tC
hide. Work had fa.led-money giver
out-and rather than let her parents OF
him know her story she had tried tc
kill herself, but as she sat on the
