with a gentle. tremulous voice and
sparse white hair, reached a converse

| II like to come to the city to see
Jennie. but. as l tell her, I'm glad to

Jennie, buxom and middle-aged,
laughed with an abandon that showed
good, vigorous teeth with a gold one
on the side-to which was added a
wink to the third woman:
''Grammas shocked at my landlady
because she is 78 and fiirts with two
old fossils who hoard with her-and
because Miss Blank, who is SO II a day,

them aloud at the table,"

P0LICEWOMEN TO MEET.
swim Discuss Crime Prevention
Among Women and Children.

Crime prevention among women,
syoung people and children viii be dis
Scussed at the annual meeting of the
International Association of Police
women at Des Moines May 9. 10, IL.
Facing what leading policewomen of
the country believe to be "a rising tide
of crime among young people," the
speakers viii tell of causes which
bring about delinquency among young
people. They will tell of the work of
policewomen in preventing crime at
its source and in heading off delin-
quency.
Several scores of policewoman rep
resenting 1000 policewomen from more
than 200 American cities and towns
and practically every State will attend.
"A growing worldwide interest in
the policewoman movement has de-
veloped because of the need for this
kind of service said Mrs. Nina G.
Van Wrinkle, head of the Women s
Bureau of the Washington Police De
partment and president of the associa-
tion. in announcing the plans for the

woman know exactly now Things

that am relieved to have Gramma go

simpered when old man Smith asked
her to pass the butter. Honest, II
she wasn't going tomorrow I'd get
some asafetida to tie around her neck,
to keep her from ketchin' the love

And the outraged blush of that little
old lady was worth a nickel to see
not counting the warm affection that
made bantering Jenniess eyes some
thing beautiful to look at.

IF YOUR name is Ariel and you have
= a mother who failed to receive the
bit Of note YOU sent her, here is why:
A customer at a stationery counter
bought one of those folding pads con
tanning writing paper and accessories
and had it addressed to her mother IN
another city. She gave the clerk a.
bit of an envelope to be wrapped with
the package. 1t was tiny envelope
and bore on it's snowy face the words
Mother Dear"
Later on, two other customers at
the same counter asked to see folding
cases. The one who was from Louis
VILE, KY, bought three Of these cases,
and when they reached the home of
the hostess, who was the other WON.
an, the purchaser opened her package
to discover tiny envelope tucked in
side-a tiny envelope that bore on its
snowy face the words Mother Dear.
Inside was card on which some low
ing daughter had penned this Httie
greeting to go with the gift:
Dearest Mother: Much love and
happy wishes. Win write soon. Am
leaving Washington for New York to-
morrow Don't worry about anything

right. Love to both. ARIEL"
The clerk, being human, like the
rest of us, and therefore liable to make
mistakes. had failed to inclose the
note i'm the package that was meant
for mother, and the loving greeting
had gone astray instead OF giving
some dear woman sunbeam on Moth
er's day.
Which seems a pity, seeing that q
loving deed is about one of the most
splendid things in this world and
should never be wasted. 1t was this
same idea that prompted the hostess
Of the Kentucky visitor to write TO
this unit and inclose the card, hoping
+ that it's publication may enhghten
Ariel as to how the error happened
and enable her to write to mother ana
tell her all about 1t.
It is always well to help a good
cause along--which is why the bit OF
story gets pegged down--like this.

Old Restaurants
In London Serve
Fish Wednesdays
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, May Tin accord
ance with, an obsolete law a few
of the old-fashioned restaurants in
London always make speciality of
fish on Wednesday instead of Fri
day.
Inquiring Americans have dis
covered that this is a survival Of
an old custom arising from q law
passed in Queen Elizabeth's reign
to obtain money for her navy.
After Mary's reign and a decline
in Roman Catholicism. say the
records, Good Queen Bess found
that people were eating less fish
and the fishermen who recruited
her navy were on the point of
starving. She therefore decreed
Eat fish every Wednesday or pay
me 800" The law was rigidly en-
forced, and although gradually
fallen into disuse since 1903, it has
never been repealed.
Customers who pass over the
fish item in their daily visits to
restaurants still technically risk
a penalty of f20.
