Mother TayIOr's Plan


AT Medals style of house party
Sunday passed like any other day.
No one thought of going to church.
l walked over to a nearby village
with Percy Kane. n of h unat-
tached young men whom Media al
ways kept on hand to insure the sue
cess of her parties. Kane was an
amateur artist with really some abb
ility, but too much money and not
enough energy to develop his talent.
He made me a clever sketch of
the village street and the church. 1t
reminded him of a place he knew in
Devonshire, he said. Many of the
out of the way little towns on Long
Island have this old world charm.
But we did not go in the church;
instead we wandered back for the
very smart luncheon that awaited us,
in Medals house.
And Monday morning I left, with
a little feeling of relief at getting
away from her oppressive magnih-
canoe.
But even my own apartment, poor
in comparison to Medals place. was
oppressive. L stood on the cush-
toned window seat to throw open
the studio window. and standing so,
looked north over the city. Roof
after roof in dull red threw back a
dazzling heat that hurt to look at;
here and there a modern apartment
house, square and ugly in it's new
ness, rose above the old fashioned
rows of houses. The only relief was
to the left where the green trees OF
Central Park made a cool oasis.
I started a note to Mrs. Anderson,
asking for Connie, thought better OF
it and went there myself. l had
been a ~neglectful foster mother, and
was afraid Mrs. Anderson might
refuse me. But the poor woman
told me she expected another baby
at the end of the summer and was
glad enough to have one of her fam
lily off her hands. The constant
struggle against poverty was putting
her in that horribly, poor class that
never refuses anything.
The other children were already
showing the effect of bad air ano
narrow rooms and food chosen fol
cheapness rather than quality. Con-
ME remained the flower of the fam
lily, even now when her delicate skin
was smudged with molasses and dirt,
I carried her off in a taxi. bathed
her and. with Ellen to help me
spent two happy days buying her g
fresh wardrobe. She was CROWNS

would. But for the rest. l would
dress as plainly as they.
I'VE won't take the train, wei

to go with me as Comics nurse.
And we did. stopping overnight a
a funny hotel in a tiny town hal

Editorials For

She had aspirations.

And unfortunately, dear old John,
who regarded his carpet slippers

Just about ready to dig out his be-
loved carpet slippers and say just

which he thought it. the aspirations
bobbed up and gummed up his en-
tire matrimonial plan.
Lizzie decided that Beth would be
a much more appropriate name for
John to call her in the future. she
hid the carpet slippers. And she
developed an accent. Really she
wore it quite fetchingly, but it con-
fused poor John and more than once
when he couldn't quite keep up he
sought refuge behind a puzzled "Uh-
Huh? ?" and tried to fasten his spin
ming brain to some fact he was dig
ging out of his reading.
This dashing into the potatoes and
meat with an eager fork and pinion-
ing enough food to keep him busy
for thirty minutes was at an end.
He had to sit quietly while Beth
passed her plate and then serve her
before he dared touch a morsel him
self! The lettuce never came to the
table any more in the good old
fashioned wilted way with substan-
tial eggs so that he knew he had
eaten something when he had put 1t
away. 1t came in maddeningly crisp
leaves which fought with his fork
and always seemed to lose whatever
dressing there had been on them
before they reached the region Of
his palate.
Every evening there was g. card
party they had been invited to or
some thing they must buy expensive
tickets for in order hat they might
be seen there. 1t was the thing to
do, Beth informed him. So John
trotted obediently along, trying TO

ached and he hated himself.
And then one day John caught
sight of his carpet slippers sticking
out from under his travelling bag.

with a joyous vengeance he showed
his toes into them and marched
downstairs.
He sat down in a chair and swung
his feet up on the divan and casually

call up and say they weren't going
to that fool card party tonight. There
were tears from Lizzie and more
tears. There were hard words from
John and more hard words.
And the next morning when she

that John was grieved because the
nice sweet girl he thought he mar
