To follow these long wide and pol
ished Railways was to stop at last
before closed door at the end of
each; doors that opened into four
brick wings, one for white men, one
for white women, one for colored
men, one for colored women-each an
individual world surrounded by high
up porches that looked down on a
garden just ready to turn Spring
green. For a coming together ground
there is a chapel and. in case of ill
, ness, a big airy infirmary, where sick
| bodies are cured by skillful kindness,
unless-unless the time has come for
a patient to be free of infirmaries for
ever, in which event, the same kind
ness opens another way-to a place
of restful green silence behind a
black iron gate.
On this special afternoon the four
dining rooms of the four worlds in one
| were gay with quavering old chuckles
| and the lighter laughter of visiting
patrons who had come to help cele-
brate feast day with gifts, and by
helping the hoStesseS to wait on
| tables and dry dishes-with one dig
nitary in the spotlight as a carver of
| mighty roasts.
And these same little hostesses, in
dustriously alert and smiling. took
time from preparing and serving the
proval of the entertainment their
home folks were providing for the
guests-themselves as happy as chill
dren on this joyous day in honor of
their good St Joseph who had
| enabled them for so many and many
years to provide a haven for storm
driven derelicts to whom the world
had been cruel; human flotsam and
| jetsom. men and women: white and
colored: of all creeds and none-but
| all of them old and-forsaken.
Carefully brushed old men and
| ancient ladies with pert ribbons in
| their caps told their little jests of
old-time vintage, sang bits of ballads
and even cut step or two in de-
| fiance of their Father Time who was
| trying to crowd them off the great
| road-everybo body having such a good
| time together that many visitors re-
| mained for that other feast of lights
| and music and prayer that meant
chapel service. But:
If YOU have TO measure time by
| tape measure. an hour can be stretched
only just SO far. So the GER
| tain person. with bare time enough
to pay her respects to the nearest
| hostess. scudded off to her street car.
| And that was all there was to it
! except that in case you might like to
| know the names of the hostesses-
| they have no names.
! They are just called the Little Sis
! ters of the Poor.
A NY trifie may remind you of some
thing truly great-with this
gnat of an incident for illustration:

Progress. all right, but hard on the
poor
Same way with another help now
~outlawed by progress. One time my
mother had no money for the rent, so
she paWned my dead fathers watch.
Il brought money enough to square
the landlord and feed us until she
got work. She kept our shelter, and
| have that watch to this day. You
couldn't tide over starvation apd
eviction by that method these daya
Progress has done away with pawn
shops. Which may be all right, only
I'm thankful 1 had my poor days,
when horses and such shops were
here to give me lifts"
Which means to prove that for
some people, anyhow, there was such
an era as "the good old times"
WITHIN that verbal stones throw
w from Providence Hospital there IS
an informal little park with benches
set sociably along the graveled path
ways and Towering bushes that seem
10 be giving themselves the airs of
queens daughters dressed in green
and gold. Two women on a bench
who knew they ought to be getting
homeward fingered to take the
Spring opening in: The big tree that
looked as If it might be playing with
the small boys that were climbing
its knotty bole and riding a low and
wide branching limb; maybe because
boys climbing means that Su }mer
is coming-and Summer means foli-
age, and gentle breezes and birds
maybe-and other children romping
over the grassland the couple of
robins strutting in the warm, yellow
sun-such a gay and happy promise
of Springtime that the women-noth-
ing to look at from a fashion page
point of view, and not caring hang
were almost as happy and carefree Is
Nature and the kiddies, until the
woman who lives in that section of
the town and knows its bearings, sud-
denly said to the other:
Il wonder why the flag is half
| mast over the police station? Some
one of consequence must be dead"
The other woman felt that by rights
she ougke to know, seeing that she
!, had been keeping company with
newspaper throughout the working
/ hay, but there are so many things
| Happening that one can't keep track
az all; so the neighborhood woman
asked passing girl if she knew why
the flag was at haf-mast over the
police station. She knew:
"One of the officers of the station
is DEAD ana thiNk they are having
service over him, but l can't say
| for certain" But that was enough.
For though the children kept on play
ing and the robins pouted their chests
and outstrutted each other on the
grass, the sunshine seemed, somehow,
| to be darkened over by the folds of
! a flag at half-mast; and the women,
without mentioning the impalpable
something that had touched them both,
| got up and went their way. And that
was all there was, that time, except
| that
\ Irts-n who has spent a life of
danger lighting crime must feel him
! self strS-agely idle in a place of eter-
| nal peace-where policemen are
never nerded.
