MRS. BALLANTINE
 COMMITTEE AIDE
Benefit Exhibit for ChiI. dren's Society Set for
 New York in April

Mrs. John Holine Ballantine Of southbury Is among the many Con- necticut and New York women prominent In civic and social circles who are serving as members of the benefit committee for the Childrens Aid soeiety's exhibition, "Renoir After 1900" to be presented in April at the Durand Ruel galleries. l2 East Fifty. Seventh street, New York city. Tn entire proceeds of the eX- hibition of Renoir's paintings will be given to the society's homeless children's fund, to help the society'S foster care services meet the rising need for the care of homeless, de- pendent and neglected childrn.
 The society, which cares annually for more than 10000 children of New York's most congested areas seeks funds to expand It's foster care services, which last year had to turn away more than a thousand children because of the lack of sutfi- cient facilities to care for them. In order to meet the cost of this ad. ditional emergency care, the hc4ne- less childrens fund has launched campaign and reports that a total of S84,784 has already been received in donations toward the funds goal of sioo,oo0 for this years additional work.
 The soclety's foster care depart- ment places children, whose parents through illness or want are unable to provide them with the proper Sup- port and care, in good foster homes with dependable, loving foster par cntS. The houSekeeper service of the society sends competent, motherly women to low -lneome homes to act as substitute mothers and care for children in their own homes when the real mother is tco Ill to assume her household responsibilities. The rising demand for foster care serV- Ices, because of diSlocationS in home life due to the war effort, has been indicated by an increase of more than 7l per cent In emergency calls upon the SocietyS houSekeeper service.

LADY FOR A MONTH
CHAPTER "


The first thought that surged
into Ends waking mind that
orning was THE APART
MENT. She had rented it. There
was no chance to change her
mind now. For once, she had
actually dared to do something
she wanted to. For a whole
month now she could live a
glamorous life.
But there were lot of de-
tails to be attended to before
she could enter into the enjoy
ment of her secret paradise. She
made excited plans as She dress
ed. First of all, she would try to
get her vacation to start immed-
lately. For having rented the
apartment at what, to her, was
an exorbitant rental, she want
ed every possible minute in
which to enjoy it.
She didn't really think there
would be any difficulty about
getting her vacation OH such
short notice. August was a slack
time at the plant, and with John
Stanton, the big boss, away,
there would be even less doing
than usual.
She intended to tell no one,
either at the office or at home,
what she was going to do with
her vacation. Her plans were in
nocent enough, but no one
would understand. They would
think it ridiculous, if not down.
right insane, to spend her saw
ings and vacation hidden away
in a nicely furnished apartment,
enjoying rat her furtively for
one short month the surround
ings and atmosphere of a more
gracious way of living than
would ever be hers as Mrs. Tom
Driscoll.
AS it was, things would work
out nicely. Pop and Nom would
think she was working and stay
ing at LONE. Lefty would be out
of town with them. And she had
already told Tom that she was
going away for a month.
That brought to her mind an
other detail that she mustn't
overlook. Shed have to make
some arrangement about her let
tiers to Tom send them to
Grace Dingline and have her
mail them from the mine where
= she was supposed to be, and then
have Grace send Toms back to
:. her.
1t was awkward but it was
necessary, IL she was to keep
her whereabouts a secret. The
worst of it was it entailed some
plausible explanation to Grace
who would naturally be Curl
Gus.
Nervously she approached the
head stenographer's desk as soon
as she arrived at the office. AS

Enid had expected, there was
no difficulty about her vacation.
Grace consulted her sheet of va
cation schedules ior the depart
ment and told Enid that she
could have her month starting
Monday if that was the way
she wanted il.
Enid gri pped her slipping
courage and, flushing painfully,
asked Grace il she would for
ward some letters for her from
the mine.
Why" Grace Dingline ask
ed in her crisp, direct way.
Enid blurted out a half truth.
My boy friend - the one you
met the other night - wants to
get married, and / - I'm not
sure / like him well enough. !
want to get away for a month
all by myself - and then, may
be, l can make up my mind. l
don't want him to know where
| am, so l told Linn was to 60
to the mine with Mr.. Stanton.
1t wouldn't be much trouble to
you, would it,"
Grace looked at her shrewd-
ly. She had always thought Enid
Sharon a little queer, but this
topped everything. Hiding from
a boy because he wanted to mar
ry her. Being very worldly, an
other possibility popped into
Grace's mind as we'll. Maybe
there was a secret intrigue back
of Ends request. One could
never tell about these nice quiet
girls.
Enid had no idea why Grace
Dingline's dark eyes suddenly
went dancing. If she had, her
face would have been even a
deeper crimson than it was.
At any rate Grace agreed to
forward her letters to Tom and
his to her, and Enid thanked her
and turned away immensely re-
lieved that the interview was
over.
She had arranged for Lefty to
meet her that noon, for lunch
con date, Lefty thought. Nom,
who was in on the plot, had
gone over to care for the chill
dren. Enid spotted her sister in
her pressed and shiny. best blue
dress the moment she emerged
from the office exit, and added
one more item to the list of pur-
chases she had in mind.
She sprang the surprise on
Lefty over the lunch table. You
and the youngsters are going
with Nom and Pop tomorrow.
Letty's pale eyes blinked and
then began to shine. You
mean"
You're going to the lake
with them. What would Nom
and Pop do rafting around in
that cottage alone for a month?
It's big enough for a dozen peo-
pie"
Letty's face clouded as swift
ly as it had frightened. "Oh-I
couldn't, Enid. The children and
l haven't the right kind of
clothes to wear. You know how
II is at summer resort"
That, Enid told her firm
ly, lis what we are going to fix
right now"
