NO SCOLDING

ooh, you needn't look so fused,
Joe. I'm not going to scold. I'm
proud you gave Mrs. Stanton the
money Bob paid back.
She got one of those contriv-
ances right away and called to
sohw us how it works, and to
thank you because she's not stone
deaf any more. She" Hattie
shipped her sentence short and
ran to tend something in the
kitchen.
Joe slun1ped down on the sofa.
Limp. What a fool he'd been toss
ing away $50! Not remembering
about Mrs Stanton?
Well, at least he'd done a good
deed, and there'd be no hell from
Hattie because Mrs. Stanton hadn't
been able to hear and repeat
Minis and his conversation. Now,
he'd assert himself.
Make Hattie loosen up. Get
some swell clothes. A little car.
They'd De happy again, like at
first and Jne knew he'd be content
without any of life's Minis.
Joe was suddenly startled by a
commotion in the kitchen. The
oven door banged. Pots clattered
to the floor. But Joe reached the
scene too late to hear Hattie mum
BILE:
"Pinch-perny. Alibis to get out
nights. Well, lip readings an old
custom, Mimi, my cherub! And Joe
is going places. Plenty of them.
Till he's dizzy-but with me-be-
ginning tonight. Dinner. A show"
Hattie was smiling as she ran to
put on the dress she'd kept hidden,
because Joe worked so had for his
money and shG hadn't wanted him
to think her extravagant spending
instead Of saving.
Shed bring out some Of that
perfume she'd hidden away, too,
And tomoncw get a permanent. A
hat. Hattie started singing. Funny.
how she'd never imagined Joe
wanted all the things her heart
had ached fer so long.

hearing nothing but office talk
and neighborhood drivel.
Impulsively Joe opened the
bathroom door and emerged from
hiding just as Hattie was closing
the front door on Mrs. Stanton.
Hello, Joe! When did you get
home?" Hattie's tone held sweet
ness foreign to the onslaught
Joe anticipated. He felt befud-
died following Hattie to the
kitchen, where she hustled about
over the dinner.
Waiting for break in the activ'
tiles, when Hattie would turn on
him, Joe braced himself. But Hat
tie said nothing. Simply marched
back to the living room and looked
so calm Joe wondered if those
cocktails with Mimi were still
working.
Things have happened, today!"
Hattie finally announced, as if Joe
didn't know it. "Bob's wife phoned
about them paying you back that
loan today, and thanked us for
helping them in an emergency.
Then, Mrs. Stanton called and
told me how, by trying to save a
few pennies, she used to clean her
own dresses with gasoline. That's
how she had that awful explosion
that wrecked their home, made
them mortgage the little stationery
store down the street, and use all
their savings for doctor bills.
She's been so blue lately she's
been going to different tavernS
and slipping at a ten-cent beer for
hours just to watch other people
who enjoy life.
But now, Joe, because you're
more human and generous than
most people, Mrs. Stanton's life is
changed.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-10-16

Sneaking down the hall, Joe
boxed himself in the bathroom.
he needed a little solitude to sum-
mon enough courage to confront
the bombardment of tears and
words Mrs. Stanton's news would
let loose from Hattie.
Balancing on the edge of the
Cathtub, Joe sat thinking of the
thousands of men who take girls
10 lunch and stuff and nothing
ever happens.
Only, he wasn't one of them.
To begin with, Hattie, his wife,
was a pinchpenny. Insisting on
living in the same apartment they
rented 20 years ago as bride and
groom because the rent was cheap.
And Hattie was a budgeter.
Thoroughly against wasting money
on smart clothes, gay restaurants,
snappy shows and summer vaca-
tons.
She doled out SIS to Joe every
Monday for his Sundry male eX-
penses, and, if by Friday Joe went
lunchless, shaveless and bummed
cigarettes, that was his hard luck.
So now, getting the news of Joe
stepping out with a cute little
number like Mimi. Hattie would
decide Joe was either keeping
Mimi in a penthouse out of his
five a week or making more sal
airy than he admitted.
Either deduction, Joe knew,
would bring on the weepS and
words. Joe wished he didn't know
Hattie so we'll; that he couldn't
Eead and anticipate her thoughts
and actions. Then he wouldn't be
% darn scared and nervous right
now.

Main Library, Branches Attract More Patrons
 Than Fairgrounds

This year to date, as we'll as dur. ing the summer of 1886, the records at the childrens' department, Silas Bronson library, directed by Mis- Ivy Lovring, show that youthful Wa. terburians would rather come dowi to the main library or go to it. branch libraries, than get books a. the playgrounds,
 The figures released this mornins show that SO far this year there art more than 200 local youngsters who arc listed as regular customers" ai the libraries. A few years ago tho summer circulation for children was very high at many of the play grounds. Now there are only three playgrounds which have library ser. vice, the schedule being as follows; Hamilton, Monday from two to five in the afternoon; Fulton, Friday at the same hours; Division street at the North End "" from two until five.
 So far this summer, with but S1v month to go, the main library, and branches at WaterVille, Rose Hill and Brooklyn show excellent results in regard to the passport" system.
 Miniature passports, with identifi- cation photos and oil, are issued to children for the Bremen, Rex, Nor mandie and Queen Mary as travel books are taken out. So far, at the main branch the score for passports is as follows: Queen Mary, 40; Nor mandie, 22; Rex, 10 and the Bre- men, 2. At the branches the list for passports is as follows; Brooklyn 25; Rose Hill 25; Waterville 30
