Although the local quota for the June 17 enrolment in the Civilian Conservation Corps has been all most doubled, according to an an- nouncement at Lincoln house to- day, a comparison with quotas all lotted other cities in the state shows that Waterbury has again failed to place fair proportion of its applicants. From a state quota of 3,192 men, 167 local candidates will be selected.
 Hartford has been allotted 466. New Britain 1S0, Bridgeport, SS8, and New Haven S92. The local quota will be filled from a list of applicants numbering more than 250 men, according to Wallace J.

wonder

the old woman declared posi-
lively I hope youn tell your
mother and stepfather that. if you
get a chance. I don't want to be
pensioned off, not till I drop in
my tracks"
Ruth saw that the old creature
had a horror Of giving up her place.
She longed TO rCassure her, yet she
felt that such deception would be
cruel in the end. AS she thought
Of the old woman's troubles. her
own schemes took second place.
The impulse came TO tell Penny,
then and there, that she was not
entertaining Elaine. but just a
tramp girl who had wandered in for
shelter.
Penny" she said, I've something
to tell you. I'm not"
There came a knocking at the
front door and Penny said, Tell
me later, Miss Elaine It's young
John MCNEIL come to ask about
you. He carried you upstairs when
YOU tainted last night. He was
Worried"
She went hobbling down the
stairs to open the door, while the
knocking continued, with some i'm
patience.
Presently Penny called, will you
come down, Miss Elaine?"
Ruth made a quick survey Of
herself in the mirror, added a dis
Greet touch of lipstick and went
down Her heart was pounding
with both panic and pleasure.
The young man was waiting at
the foot of the stairs. John Nc
Neill just missed being handsome,
but Ruth's eyes, in their hasty sur
vey, saw that he had the rare quail
ity Of distinction. He looked up at
her quizzically and Ruth thought,
He'll know I'm a fake. I shan't
have to confess"
But he said, Good morning,
Elaine" and held out his hand
She was surprised to find her
self saying, John McNeill!" and
putting her hand in his.
THERE was a little silence be-
Il tween them after they had
shaken hands, but it was not an
awkward silence. Penny, who was
observing them like a benignant
owl, remarked curiously, DO you
find her much changed, Mr.. John?
I can't depend on my eyes any
more"

Mcneil answered coolly.

CHAPTER EIGHT

ID UTH did not realize her own
N exhausted condition. When
she sank into a deep. dreamless
sleep it was not to waken at day
break. as she had planned, but in
response to a knock on her door
hours later.
Sitting up IN CONSERVATION. she
cried. Come in" and there entered
the old woman with the bent back
and peering eyes.
OH cried Ruth. I meant
She stopped abruptly. for. Of course
she could not say, I meant to run
away before you caught mel"
I was worried about you, Miss
Elaine Are you feeling better? And
VIII you take your breakfast now?"
Ruth thought. Now I'm in it up
TO my neck" Yet a lifting happiness
mingled with her dismay. She would
have 70 spend another day here and
another night
In this situation there were
blended three elements that cheered
her, adventure, little respite from
her Wanderings, and most impor-
tant Of alb the chance Of seeing
once more the young man named
John.
oh, Lawsy mel" exclaimed the
old woman. Are you too sick TO
talk, Miss Elaine" She came to the
bed and put her hand on the girls
forehead. Where do you hurt
mOst?"
Ruth laughed L don't hurt at
all. Penny, and I'm not sick. Just
tired and stiff and sort of jumbled
in the head. I was so surprised to
find myself here that I couldn't
answer you"
Penny said, when your letter
came Tuesday, sayin' you were
comm TO the old house for a rest
I didn't think you'd be followin' it
so soon. I thought you said you'd
be here in a couple of weeks. Ny
eyes are terrible bad I reckon I
read it wrong"
Don't you ever wear glasses,
Penny?" asked Ruth scoldingly.
They don't help. Miss Elaine. I
think its cataract III end up by
bein' stone blind. I'm afraid"
oh" said Ruth, I'm sorryl"
She impulsively took the old
woman's hand and held it for a
moment against her cheek. Here
was another human being with
troubles as deep as her own. and
without the hope of youth to help
her bear them. Poor PENNY" she
murmured.
Not that I can't see to take care
Of the housed" the old woman de-
clared hastily.
"Oh, no." agreed Ruth. Did you
say breakfast. Penny"
Yes, Miss Elaine. There're plenty
of fresh eggs. I still keep chickens

remarked, but all days must end
Could I invite myself to dinner to-

She laughed. Il was just like g
gay nineties heroine last night
wasn't I? 7 can't imagine what
made me do i'll"
He looked at her curiously. "You
seemed pretty tired" was all he
said.
After he had gone Penny seemed
to want to talk, but Ruth set about
evading her.
John McNeill's visit had caused
Ruth to abandon all thought of the
confession she had been on the
verge of making. She thought, at
would spoil the little party tonight
1t would spoil everything. I'm going
to be Elaine for few hours longer
It's the incest thing that ever hap
pened to mel"
So, when Penny said, after q
while, Excuse me, Miss Elaine but
does your stepfather Mr.. Deal say
anything more about selling the
houSe?" Ruth replied cannily Il
think it's best for us not to discuss
things like that, Penny"
She felt contrite When she saw
how rebuked the old creature
looked, so she exclaimed hastily
That funny nickname Penny
How did you get that? I've for
gotten"
Why" the old woman answered,
diverted, sit happened when you
were just a little tot. I gave you
pennies for your bank because you
had fancy for dropping them III
Every time you dropped in a penny
little iron man stepped out and
saluted. So you called me Penny!
Pennyr"
Ruth laughed absently, but she
was looking at her hands. Il meant
to ask you, Penny-have you any
turpentine? I've got blue paint on
my hands. 1t must have come off
the door last night. 1 didn't realize
it was freshly painted when I was
pounding On it"
Obi" cried the old woman re-
proachfully. You've SCARED the
door!"
She looked so stricken that Ruth
said quickly, IF I have, I'll repair
the damage. Have you any paint
left?"
"Oh, yes" Penny said queerly.
But the quarter moons past. I'll
have to wait now"
That was the first intimation
Ruth had that the old woman was
touched" that mystery as well as
pathos dwelt under this roof.
Penny hobbled quickly to the
porch and Ruth could see her,
through the prismatic glass of the
side panels, rubbing the door with
her sleeve and squirting at it anx-
iouSly.

had a distinct individuality, and the
talented ones hadn't given up their
interest in art and music.
They we're all partners with their
mother in their new farm venture,
and none wore a martyrs air. 1t
was plain 10. see they considered
their home not only a place <Or
work but a stamping ground for
most of their good times.
Whether they were playing games
arounc a big table or razzing one
another, I found it the liveliest and
most harmonious household I have
been in for long time. And not
one Of the children, so far as I
could tell, was cursed with the COM
pleXeS and introversions that YOU
so often find in small family groups.
Only an exceptional woman would
have the physical strength or the
spiritual zest to bring up 10 chill
dren as magnificently as this
mother. But other families can try
the cooperative pattern when once
they have moved from labor saving
urban flats to houses in the suburbs
or in the country, with gardens and
chores attached.
AS Miss Charles suggests, when
children are useful rather than
parasitic" members of the house
hold and when they are brought up
as reasonable human beings rather
than as hospital patients wrapped
in cotton wool they aren't so likely
to wear out their welcome. Mothers
won't then go about with a chip on
the shoulder, weary of the demands
made on them, and fathers won't
so often grumble that nobody
works but dad"
If father didn't worry so about
the bills and if children seemed less
of a burden families probably would
be larger For I agree with Miss
Charles that many. if not most,
women still find compensations in
motherhood that cancel the diScom-
forts.

Miss Enid Charles Of the London
School of Economics, sees our in
dustrial civilization as a Franken-
stein geared to destroy itself. 1t has
made children an economic liability
rather than an asset, with the re-
suit that an increasing number of
married couples are having one or
two or, more rarely, three children.
Smaller families, as every one
knows, have become so much Ia

willing to be parents many times

This falling off in the birth rate
is a bad situation for the statistic

reaching the vanishing point. For
the reproductive instinct in men

and keep a place in the sun.
If Miss Charles had been writ

because they make for happier, bet
