1 But when she reached the of- ! flee woman was sitting there. A pretty woman in 0 brown fur coat and a bright green hat. The wo- /, man got up when Mary entered the
 room and walked slowly towards
 her. Mary stood where she was.
 Don't you remember me, Mary?" her mother was saying. Mary opened her mouth to an | swer, but something seemed to
 catch in her throat. The tears
 she had been holding back for the
 last ten minutes fell rapidly and | sobs that shook her whole body. took the place of words. Before she realized it her mother I had her arms around her and she
 was crying into the brown coat. The fur felt soft against her l cheeks and there was something very familiar about the flower- i like fragrance that was part of the woman. Suddenly she thought of father and how angry he'd be
 if he could see her like this. She strengthened up and pushed her
 mother from her.
 She was surprised to hear her. l self saying: Eve got to get back
 to my geography. I've got to fin-j
 ish my map" She raised her eyes
 to her mothers facr. I'm in the ! middle of Peru and I've got to fill
 in the pink today"
 Lying in bed later that night
 Mary couldn't understand how it had all happened, but she had gone
 upstairs for her map after her
 mother had told her to, and they | had SAI1nd insb .l And then-but Mary couldn't be-
 gin to remember all the fun they'd
 had. The big car with the radio in
 1t and the chauffeur, who called her
 mother Mrs Blackmer. The ride
 through the country and that little tearoom where they had ice cream
 cake with fudge sauce. Two help
 ings.
 | And mother! Mother knew all about Peru. Imports and exports
 and everything. She even knew the | names of all the president of the United States. She understood how Mary felt about dolls feelings and i she sang the funniest little songs-<-.
 about "Old Man Moon" and "Wa- termelon Growing on the Vine."
 And Mary had told her all kinds of lthings-things she couldn't tell father because he was a man, and 1 things Miss Sheldon just never would understand.
 It wasn't until mother was leav- l ing and had leaned down to kiss Mary good-by that Mary thought
 of father again. She ran upstairs
 and sat down on her little white bed, For the second time that day she cried. Everything was so mix ed up.
 And an hour later, when little Anne Corbet. who had two mothers
 and two fathers, came in to ask Mary to help her with her home- work, she found Mary sound asleep on her bed.

By EVELYN LOVE COOPER

Mary Rawlings has been at Miss Sheldon's school since she was S.. That was four years ago. And in that time she had managed to for- get that awful night when her father had come home and her mother wasn't there. She never thought any more about the day her father had bought her the big teddy bear with the electric eyes and had taken her on a train to Miss Sheldon's school. At first she had cried, but after a while she was much too busy with her school work to think about home.
 Her father came to see her every time he was in town. And when he was away he'd write her long letters and send her candy, which she had to keep out of sight of Miss Sheldon. But she never saw her mother. And whenever she mentioned mother to father he'd put his hands to his temples as thought his head ached.
 And that time she mentioned her to Grandma Rawlins! Grandma had said that Mary should never think of her mother. That her mother was bad woman and that hanging was too good for any woman who could leave her child and run off with another man. Mary had wanted to know more, but grandma was asking her what she'd like most when she came back from New York.
 It happened one day in the geography class. Miss Sheldon came into the classroom and took Mary down to her office.
 "Your mother is in the drawing room," she said.
 Mary's heart began to beat so quickly she could feel 1t all the way down in her flnger-tips. Mother was here at last. Then she thought of father and Grand ma Rawlins. She could feel her cheeks burning and she thought she was going to cry. She didn't know what to do.

 A few minutes later the door opened and Miss Sheldon walked in. Mary pretended not to see her. She didn't come over to where Mary was sitting. but stood on the teachers platform and the teacher rapped on her desk for silence.

 All the little girls looked at slarx. Mary didn't move.
 "This minute, please" Miss Sheldon's voice was stern.
 Mary hesitated a moment ana then got up slowly. She'd so down to Miss Sheldon's office and wait for her. When Miss Sheldon came il1 she's tell her all about mothers running away with another man and how grandma said hanging was too good for a woman like that. Then Miss Sheldon wouldn't make her go into the drawing room. Miss Sheldon would tell mother to go away.

friends, that today, as never
before, there is great, cry
::ng need for service from
organizations such as that,
represented here tonight. Oh
yes, l grant you, it is well
to achieve honor and fame.
But these alone rear no mon
uments in the human heart.
Kindness, charity and help
fulness are the only things
which insure a cherished
memory.
He who lives only for the
present, viewing things as
he finds them without any
desire to help and assist his
fellow man, is not serving
God and his Country in this
trying time of our nations
history. If you and / are to
realize our obligations today
as citizens of this Republic,
we must not only be con-
cerned about the present,
but also the future, and the
generations that are to come.
During the last 100 years
the training institutions of
Europe and America have
specialized along intellectual
lines, and we have come to
regard this as the most es-
sential thing in life. My
friends, we must have more
than education today, and if
our nation is to retain its
inheritance of righteousness
and stand the stress of these
trying times, we must see
more clearly and embrace
the need for moral training
which has been too long neg.
lected.

AN ADDRESS
Delivered by Congressman
John 6. Cooper, at the 45th
Anniversary celebration of
the National Slovak Society,
Sunday, October ~, 1888, in
the Slovak Sokol Hall at
Washington St.

The fraternal influence
and benefit of an organiza-
ton, such as you have here
tonight, is recognized by all.
Man is a social creature
and, normally, Graves the
society and fellowship Of
others.
Not only does such frater-
nal gatherings, as this, satis-
fy the normal craving for
fellowship of ones own, but
it also arouses pride in ones
ancestry, and the blood Of
your race. And pride in an
cestry is something that ev-
cry one. should desire. It has
saved many a man from dis
honor and ruin. It has pre-
vented him from yielding to
temptation, because it would
bring a blot on his family
name. Again, as a rule, man
is proud of his blood and
name, and desires to be
honor to the race of which
he is one. s>.
And it is at such gather
ings, as this, where he re-
ceives the inspiration to per-
petuate the good name and
standing of his people.
To meet and come in con-
tact with people of his own
race and blood, with the best
men and women of the fam.
lily name, has a very whole
some influence for good up
on all. Every one who has
given thought to this ques.
8tion must come to the con.
clusion, that the strongest
motives for we'll doing, fol
honesty, good conduct, love
Of his fellow man arise with
a great majority of the peo.
pie from considerations OF
their racial and family lives
/ am convinced that your
Order seeks not only tt
build up B spirit Of true fra.
ternalism, based on mutua,
enjoyment and fellowship
but it also aims to be tn:
medium, wherein you may
associate yourselves with the
unfortunate and oppressed
Such a fraternity, as yours
does not cast q shadow up
on the home, it does mo-
wound a human heart, ant
will never wrong a human
soul. I have been told, tha'
your organization is never
deaf to the cry of the needy
and is one of the mighty
forces, today working toware
the upbuilding of the rae,
of men.
AS never before, the spiri
of brotherhood is evidenced
throughout America today il
every city and village wher'
men and women gather to
gether in lodge rooms o
many orders. They are in
spired by that desire fo
mutual helpfulness. The fra
ternities of America toda,
are trying to foster in man
kind the practice of tn
Golden Rule, and are point
ing the way to a broade
and better world. With tn
church, they are strugglin.
to relieve want and suffer

plague and harass the Haps-
burgs and made repeated
expeditions to Slovakia to
plunder towns that recogniz-

finally compelled to sign a

of the Thirty Years War.

a palatine of the King, re-
