TRAGEDIES OF DAILY

He was debating a letter as I entered
and stopped for a moment to greet me,
then handed me the note he had re-
ceived which he was answering. 1t was
Just one of those daily tragedies that we
read in the papers and cast aside after
reading, the girl of a fine good country
pastor who had slipped from the
straight and narrow path, and the Sal
walton Army was asked to help in caring
sor her and keep the matter from becom-
Ing public. And just as 1 finished read
ing that, the stenographer came in with
another letter asking that the army find
a missing lad who had disappeared from
home, and right on top OF that the tele-
phone rang with an emergency call for
relief and I glanced out Of the window
to see half dozen shabbily dressed peo-
pie going down the steps into the base

old woman accompanied by one-Iegged
man coming out carrying a basket of
provisions.
DO you mean to tell me that they just
go in and get food without being iden-
titled or anything?" exclaimed I to the
brigudier.

How are the plans coming on for
Helens birthday party?" asked Mr..
Hooper, after the children had gone up
stairs to bed.
"Oh, very we'll indeed" said Mrs.
Hooper, 'all Of the girls she invited are
coming next Saturday from till g.
There Will be twelve of them, and they
will play games and have some charades
and then | will give them some light
refreshments before they go home"
Shall each one of us given her little
birthday present." asked Henry, "or
shall be buy her one thing and have it
come from us all?"
"Oh. each one OF us will give her some
thing" replied Mrs. Hooper, lit will be
much more fun for her to have several
little things from each one of us. Roger
has some money that he has earned for
the last few weeks by helping his science
teacher with some laboratory work after
school, and l know that he intends to
buy her something, but 1 don't know
what he had in mind. He hasn't said
anything to me about it,"
Il know what she wants, then" said
Henry, land l think I'll go shopping for
it before l come home this afternoon"
Il suppose it Is something to wear"
laughed Mrs. Hooper. Helen usually
contdes in you when she has any special
longing for something new In the way
of clothes, because she finds you have
more sympathy for her notions than
have"
well, it isn't exactly something to
wear and I'm not going to tell what 1t
IS" said Henry as he went toward the
front door. but she has expressed wish
~nI . - 6.,Y. lvr~v,
Like her Auntie Bellies, I suppose"
added Mrs Hooper slyly.
Henry laughed, We'll yes, she did say
that she wished she had one like Bellies,
but of course l won't get her anything
nearly rs expensive as that"
Il won't try to guess what 1t is" said
Mrs, Hooper The surprises will be as
much fun for the rest OF us as they will
be for Helen
"Oh, by the way. Mary" said Mr.
Hooper as he started down the front
stairs, Il met Mr.. Allen In the city yes
terday-I forgot to tell you. He and
his little daughter are sailing for Europe
in the middle OF the month to spend
Christmas with Mrs. Allen, but he expects
to be back in Mayheld in plenty of time
next year, SO we can have another gar
den party at his place on the Fourth Of
July"
1T is too bad he doesn't spend more
time in Mayfeld," observed Mrs. Hooper.
Men like Mr.. Allen are so needed in a
small town"
He spoke as If the family intended TO
settle down here and give up their city
house when they returned from Europe"
said Henry, but he asked particularly
for you and Helen. | told him Telen was
having a party next Saturday and said
wished his little daughter might come
down to it"
What did he say?" inquired Mrs.
Hooper.
He seemed awfully pleased at the idea
that she was invited" answered Henry,
but he said she was in boarding school
and that they wer esailing SO soon he
didn't believe they could manage it,"
well, I'm glad you thought 10 ask
her" said Mrs. Hooper because they
were certainly very kind to us and he
made so much Of Helen at the garden
