CHE came slip stopping along the
~ street In her big rubbers carrying o
huge umbrella over her head.
And it was case Of Hello. Um.
brella. where arc you going with that
little grip
For size COULDN'T have been more than
eight and she wasn't very big for even
that age.
She wore n loose coat without any
belt, and &c was just long enough to
show two pink knees above her woolen
stockings.
Ii was n nasty, cold. rainy day. but
she trimmed along as unconcernedly as
IL it had been a sunny day in June.
Reaching the railroad station she sat
down placidly on damp bench to wait
the coming Of the train, and when 1t
arrived she got aboard trailing her UNI
brella up the steps.
There was no seat left, 80 she stood
calmly in the aisle until some one eot
out at a station and there was place
for her to slide Into.
NOR the rest Of the trip into the city
i she sat there with her head just
reaching tile top Of the seat, her hands
folded in unruffied dignity. n bundle
resting on her lap and her head down
so that the double chin came into sight
and >the dimple in the upper chin WAS
very prominent.
She was by far the most serene per.
son on the whole train: no seasoned
commuter could have gone about the
whole business with less fuss and more
assurance.
WHAT n difference from the child OF !
w her age in years gone blythe. child
who had to be seen and not heard.
In tho first place those bare knees
They would have been covered with sew
eral thicknesses of wool.
Then there would have been tip
pets" and things around the neck. NIT.
tens on the hands and some kind Of wool
over the cars.
Even after having been all nuiilcd
up so that she could scarcely walk. the
little girl Of olden times would never
have been taking herself into the big
city ull alone like this.
She wouldn't have known what 10 do
or how to do it.
She would have been frightened-wcll.
she wouldn't have been alone, that s
all.
IA1E TALK about the faults Of our
w present age. but, after all. it is
much simpler and more natural than
ever before.
Children learn TO take care OF them
selves in these days; going about alone
has no terror for thcm
They don't yy with fear, and they
don't shrink back in shyness when
strangers approach them.
The little girl on the train was quite
composed when the conductor asked her
whether he had taken her ticket or not
"Yes. last time you came through, -
she replied. with n CHEEKY smile.

Writes to Lonesome"

Dear Cynthia--Would you be SO Kind
as 70 print this in your column for
"Lonesome's' benefit" Thank you so
much II YOU do.
Dear Lonesome -'. Here ahother
that's mighty blue, but no one knows,
for, as we oil know, gloomy Gus Is
not wanted anywhere. However. pay
the penalty for making believe. as
there's not n night goes by that do
not cry myself TO sleep. At my ago
know what worry and unhappiness
mean, but / do, oh. so very much
They say If one would keep her face
toward the sun the shadows would tall
behind. Yes, tis true: 1t works well IN
the daytime, but at night. when there's
nothing but shadows, it's mighty hard.
There's a consolation in hoping, though,
and somo day hope to find happiness,
and when that day comes III appreciate
far moro what true happiness means by
otherwise. JUST KATHRYN.
Try to look at the silver lining TO the
clouds at night as we'll as the sun in
the daytime. Dent cry yourself TO
sleep. Make up stories. think them out,
plan plots and make people to act in
them and you'll soon stop being lonely.
