CHAPTER 30


When the attendants had
roughly wiped the oily brown,
soft soap out Of my eyes, and
ears, and nose, and mouth,
they jerked me out of the tub,
and put me into what they
called the "crazy house clothes"
These clothes consisted of q
single garment made out Of
old unbleached, white muslin,
flour sacks. You could still
see the lettering on the sides,
although the garment had
been washed until the letters
had faded.
The dress itself resembled a
sack, open at the bottom, holes
to stick the arms through, and
a draw string at the top.
was allowed no shoes, and
no stockings.
There was nothing particu-
larly uncomfortable about this
garment, only it made me feel
absolutely unlike a human be-
ing, and turned me into a
whipped animal.
Garment Of Disgrace
I don't know why it did that,
but that's what it did, that
shapeless garment of disgrace
and humiliation. Then they
took me to my cell, which was
just big enough for an iron
hospital bed, and no other
furniture at all.
The woman gave me shove,
I fell across the bed, and she
went out, slamming the door,
and rafting her keys as she
locked it.
I got up and looked over
my surroundings. BY standing
on my tiptoes I could bring
my eyes to the level of the
barred opening, high in the
heavy oaken door.
Outside, I could see a cluS-
ter of white caps, which repre-
sented gathering of the
attendants-nurses they called
themselves.
They were laughing and
whispering, and I knew that
they were talking about the
gay movie star and how funny
she looked in the crazy house
clothes.
The Barred Window
I went to the other end of
the room in which, thank heav-
en-, there was a window-barred
of course, but still a window.
I looked outside and was
astonished to see that the sun
was shining.
To me it seemed as if the
sun had disappeared entirely
from the world.
There were trees in the sun
shine outside and across a
green lawn a little cluster of
white houses with green blinds.
That's where the doctors lived
with their families.
I stood looking out at the
free world like a starved dog
looking at food. Suddenly a
verse, which I had heard read
many times, began to sing it.
self in my sick brain.
But I never saw a man who
looked
So wistful at the day.
never saw a man who looked
With such a wistful eye
Upon the little tent of blue
Which prisoners call the sky.

THE BEAUTY
BOX

It is buzzed about that Cleo
patra wore green eye shadows
and painted her eyebrows and
lashes black. Will they never
get through talking about
that siren? There are others
who believe in giving thought
to appearance, chief among
them being Mahomet who, to
make his eyes lustrous, painted
his lasheS with khol and
smeared khol on the eyelids.
Worse yet; he dyed his beard
a bright red, and wore clothes
of gay colors. This makeup
business isn't a bit Of deviltry
devised by the modern woman.
The cosmetic business was go
ing good more than 5000 years
before the Christian era.

Mr.. Lorrimer and Mary Lou
managed to keep the converse

time.

Mary Lou to Lorrimer. Mrs.

But she managed. and pres
emily Lorrimer cast himself
down on the couch in his sit
ting room and tried to keep
his eyes open. But he couldn't.
He'd had more fresh air than
usual and more exercise, and
he was, moreover, tired out
with the weight Of his conflict
ing emotions, with the succeed
ing shocks and establishments
Of the past day and with the
questions which still remained
unanswered. One thing was
clear enough. The girl he knew
had changed. But adorably so.
He found, in the presence OF
the living girl, the memory he
had carried fading. He could
think only of Delight as she
now was, not of Delight as she
had been. But the one thing
which had not changed was,
he knew. his love for her. That
remained.

the new North End Dock poured the
last cement, completing the piers up
on which the span will operate. Vic

sufficiently hardened and the steel

with the preliminary work that was
necessary.
With the work progressing now at

for use about the middle of July but

the formal opening and dedication
which will take place the afternoon

BLIND GUEST VISITS
ISLAND FRIENDS

The many friends of Miss E. A.
Dawson will be pleased to know that
she spent delightful fortnight with
Mrs. Hills and Mrs. Bailey at Ellisport,
returning to Seattle Sunday evening
with Mr.. and Mrs. Chester Hills.
Although sightless Miss Dawson,
with the help of cane found her
way about the old familiar places with
comparative ease. Little Mary 10
Hawkins, with her gentle touch, led
her to TIE beach and other much
loved spots thus contributing much to
the happiness of the blind guest. The
joy was reciprocal, for Miss Dawson
has never-failing fund of beautiful
stories which she tells in her delight
fully interesting way.
One particularly happy day for her
was spent with Mr.. and Mrs. Cliff
when friends carried picnic dinner
to their home. OF course Mr.. Cliff
insisted that all enjoy his fine new
peas and potatoes.
Although Miss Dawson now lives in
the dark, she tries in her heart to see
the bright side of life and does much
to scatter sunshine upon others. She
has a wonderful mind and with the
help of the Braille system, good radio
broadcasts and kind friends she keeps
herself well informed and abreast of
the times.
For livelihood Miss Dawson cro-
chefs rugs, which she sells with the
help Of her many friends and also
solicits magazine subscription. Island
friends wishing to call on Miss Daw-
son and to renew the acquaintanceship
of earlier days will find her in her
home 4l4 Boren Ave.

Summer School To
Be Held At Center

The summer school for pre-school
children which has been in progress
at the Burton building for the past
two weeks will be transferred to the
Center building, where work will con-
tinue, beginning next Monday. This
school is being conducted by Mrs.
Hagist, national worker for the Ma
tional Kindergarten Association She is
being assisted by Mrs. Selma Van
House.
To those mothers with pre-school
children, or those having children who
failed in promotion this past school
year, this summer school offers an OPP
portunity never before available on the
Island. Mrs. Hagist is recognized
figure in the educational world and
Mrs. Van House is teacher of much
experience in primary work. While
there is of necessity charge for
tuition in this, as in all other sum-
mer schools, it is small in proper
ton to the benefit the children are
receiving from the work. 1t is hard
to realize the difference in the con-
fidence and assurance of the child en-
tering first grade who has had prev
ious pre-school experience, and one
who goes to school and enters into an
unfamiliar world. Success or failure
in his school career is often de-
termined by this one advantage or
lack of it.
Mrs Hagist and Mrs Van House
have invited all mothers and children
of pre-school and primary age who
are interested in the work of the
school to visit next Monday morning
between the hours of $3.50 and 11:15,
and see the actual work being done
with the pupils.

BEGINNING SEVENTH
YEAR IN LOCAL CHURCH

b
This week Rev G. Aug. Peterson re-
turned from the conference he at
tended in San Francisco, and has
taken up his work here for the
seventh consecutive year of service in
the Cove Methodist church. He will
also serve the Dockton Community
church.
Mr.. Peterson reports fine meeting
in San Francisco, under Bishop Leete,
with pastors and lay members present
from all churches of his denomination
in Montana, Idaho, Washington, Ore
gon and California Members and
visitors were royalty entertained by
the church in which the meetings were
held. Luncheon and dinner was
served each day, and three sessions
were held daily from June 10th to
and including June 18th.
Rev. Peterson was elected to carry
greetings to the Norwegian Danish
conference in the east which meets in
Chicago, September Bird.
There were few changes in pastor
ates made during the conference, and
his many Island friends are indeed
glad that Rev. Peterson was not one
of the pastors to be changed, for he
has worked well and efficiently in this
field, and is power for good.
