April 27 at the «council's| second meeting, an athletic carnival | Fitz- | AROUND THE CITY By Nannie Lancaste, NCE on a time—say two weeks ago—a certain per- son, naming mno names, went adventuring by street car to a place you might call four worlds in one When she got to where she was golng, she had to sandwich her way between automobiles parked in a black line along the curbing, and, having passed through & great door, there were the owners of the most of social reg- men and women, chatting in reception rooms austerely sparse as to fur- niture, but shiny with the cleanli- ness that is next to godliness or passing along cor- ridors with way- side shrines niched in the snowy walls, To follow these long, wide and pol- ished hallways was to stop at last before u closed door at the end of each; doors that opened into four brick wings, one for white men, one for white women, one for colored men, one for colored women—each an individual world surroufided by high- up porches that looked down on a garden just ready to turn Spring green. For a coming-together ground there is a chapel and, in case of ill- ness, a big airy infirmary, where sick bodes are cured by skiliful kindness, unless—unless the time has come for a patient to be free of Infirmaries for- ever, in which event, the same kind- ness opens another way—to a place of restful green silence behind a black iron gate. On this speclal afterncon the four dining rooms of the four worlds in one were gay with quavering old chuckles and, the lighter laughter of visiting patrons who had come to help cele- brate a feast day with gifts, and by helping the hostesses to iwait tables and dry dishes—with one dig- nitary in the spotlight as a carver of mighty roasts. And these same little hostesses, in- dustriously alert and smiling. took time from preparing and serving the quartet of banquets to glimpse ap- proval of the entertainment their home folks were providing for the guests—themselves as happy as chi dren on this joyous day in honor of their “good St. Joseph” who had enabled them for so many and many yvears to provide a haven for storm- driven derelicts to whom the world had been cruel; human flotsam and jetsom. men and women; white and colored: of all creeds and none—but all of them old and—forsaken Carefully brushed old men anclent ladies with pert ribbons in their caps told their little jests of old-time vintage, sang bits of ballads and even cut a step or two in de- flance of their Father Time who was trying to crowd them off the great road—everybody having such a good time together that many visitors re- mained for that other feast of lights and music and prayer that meant chapel service. But: If vou have to measure time by tape measure, an hour can be stretched only just =0 far. So the cer- tain person, with bare time enough to pay her respects to the nearest hostess, scudded off to her street car. And that was all there was to it— except that in case you might like to know the names of the hostesses— they have no names. They are just called the Little Sis- ters of the Poor. * X ¥ ¥ NY trifle may rémind you of some- thing truly great—with this gnat of an incident for Ilustration: A woman walking alone in the dusk came to a grassy trlangle inside of and | i | Colds Pain Joothache Neuritls Aspirin is the trade mark of Bayer Man on | which stood a tiny boy and girl who were obviously “having words.” She looked so tearfully mad and he xo sullen, and both were so pathetically shut off from other playing children on the street, that the woman paused at the outer chain bar to ask if they were lost. They were not. The tiny 8irl gave first assurance: “No, I'm not lost. I come to this store to buy me a loaf of bread an' this man is chargin’' me mor'n he oughto. I wouldn’ touch a thing in his whole shop, cep'n my husb'n’ an’ children gotta eat.” Frowning _a " disapproval that matched her’ words, the customer vassed over a handful of just-flowered vellow blooms—fér which she should ave been spanked, along with he mother for not teaching her better The small boy counted them over o tentatiously to see If the price was right and ‘gave her a big pebble in return. And so truly is it that even such a lightsome thing as bables at play may remind one of something immortal, the woman said to herself “She asked for bread and he gave her a stone. And also, again, charted imagination could be har- nessed and made to grow with the rest of its body, wouldn't this be a wonder-world to live in?

Once in a while a_crusade is started for the coining of alf-cents, but it never amounts to anything for the reason that retail business won't stand for it, and the lawmakers, knowing no better, think it too trivial to bother about. Take the price of a bushel of coal, say and sell it by the bucket, and see what your net profit will be— and most very poor people buy coal | by the bucket.
