Mary Rose spent all OF Satur-
day afternoon, mending Flossie's
green wool sports suit for tomor-

kitchen table watching her mother
taking layers for a noble cake out
of the oven one by one.
Mrs. Middleton always sang
when she was happy. And when
she was very, very happy she
sang hymns-and one, in particu-
lar-about the music Of heaven.
She was singing it now, as she
filled a pan with water and set
it on the stove.

"Well, If you're sure won't

Mary Rose could see that she
was secretly delighted. pleased
as child over a birthday party.
And at last, as she rolled the
devilled eggs in oiled paper, she
said with a certain pride: well,
it's nice to know that my girls
like me to share Some of their
little pleasures with them.
Goodness knows I've always tried
to be a chum to you and
Flossie. I've tried to keep my

A little after six; just as the
early darkness shone gray
through the windows of the
kitchen, Flossie Middleton pushed
open the back-door.
She brought with her all the
fresh crispness of the spring air.

Labor in Sweden Follows

STOCKHOLM, March 19.-Sweden is a stronghold of labor in politics, the percentage of voters enrolled un- der the labor banner being larger than in any other country, accord ing to figures brought out here by Social-Demokrat, the government or gan, and vouched for by the secre- tariat of the Socialist Labor Inter nationals. On the other hand the relative insignificance of the Com munist organizations, when measured by the test of the ballot box, is re- vealed by the same statistics.
 In the Swedish Riksdag the Social Democratic party, which forms the principal backing of the present gov ernment, has membership of 104 out of total of 23O deputies, or 45.2 per cent the highest in any country.
