MOTHERS’ AID FUNDS DELAYED BY BOARD Payments Under New Law to Be- o gin in September, Accord- ing to Present Plans. Administration of mothers’ allow- &nces as provided in a recent act of Congress probably will not be started until September, the committee on mothers’ allowances of the Board of Public Welfare has decided. Organization of a model em for administering the allowances has not been completed, it was pointed out. and a competent supervisor has not been found. The supervisor likely will be appointed in September. Pending orga ation of the work the local social gencies which have heretofore been providing allowances for families in need will continue to do so to aveid the po: bility of suffer- ing by needy families. A delegation from Social Agencies, composed Thider, Dr. John O'Grady. Ger- trude H. Bowling and Louisa 8. Roberts, met with the nmmitln and promised the co-operation of the council in putting the new system of mothers’ allowances into operation. In addition to John Joy Edson, chalrman, the Public Welfare Boar mothers’ allowance committee is com- posed of Mrs. Hugh S. Cumming and W. W. Millan. TODAY'S AMUSEMENTS.

She had been looking in that same mirror_all her life. In it she had seen her reflection as a child, as a long-legged young girl, as a radiant maiden a woman softly | and beautifully maturing. She now | viewed herself as a person of middle age with gray hai Yes, 's h was unmistak- ably gray. ast arrived at that time of her life where a woman At one | finds the parting of the ways. | she 8 youth good-bye forever; at the other she accepts old age and goes patiently plodding on. The trouble with Diana was that she felt so unbelievably young. The spirit within her did not jibe with her gray hair; it was buoyant, eager, rest- less. Her lips wanted to sing and her feet to dance, but she needs must restrain both as being out of keeping with that symbol of age upon her brow. The truth was Diana had never had real childhood, any playtime as a young girl, any courtship as a maiden. Life had been kind to her, but res served. She had been brought up by her grandmother, a quiet, exclusive being, in a house where every act had been marked by restraint. Grand- mother had molded Diana’s life, chosen her companions, scared away the few available young men. She had died when Diana was past 30, and then the habit of Diana's life was fixed. She looked demure, she walked sedately, she was spoken of as prim. And all the time that youth in her was riot- ing like all the birds and blossoms in the world. “Well,” she said now to herself, “my hair is gray at last. If only it weren’t. If only it were brown or black or even sandy. I am done for. I've got to be old now whether I want to or not. But first I am going to have just one bit of play spell 'm going to take Julia and go to my camp and do all the silly things I can't do when folks are looking on. Julia’will bear with me, that's one comfort.” Julia_was the rigidly circumspect | maid who had kept house for grand- | mother and staved on with Diana.

I'll catch you.” He did catch her and saved her a bad fall. Righting herself, she looked into gray eyes, saw gray hair, a fine face and thanked her stars that the man had been strong/enough for the task. “I dldn’t know there was another person in these woods but myself,” he sald, wonderingly. either did we, they were ready Diana whipped out the car, packed herself and Julia and the necessities into it and started for Camp Joy: It was a tiny place in the woods away from everybody. Diana had not made the place or even bought it; she had inherited it from a friend who had gone West to live. The tiny cabin surrounded by trees had not cost much; though it was cozy enough. Julia_grumbled a little be- cause she found her housekeeping af- fairs restricted; her biscuits some- times had soot in them and the por- ridge burned. But Diana loved it all. It was wild and responded to her nature She had done a bit of shopping be- fore leaving town, and when she ap- peared before Julia in knickers with her gray hair hidden under a boyish cap she looked so young as to startle reet handmaiden. ked Julia. l)nm\ laughed. “I'm going out to climb a tree, sit on a rock in the sun and catch some trout for supper,” she answered gayly. e She chose her tree judiciously, one with plenty of good footholds and handholds. She was not used to climbing, but by scrambling and clinging and panting she got up a considerable distance. Astraddle of a bought she looked off at the spar- kling brook and the green branches. And then she looked down. Her heart curdled, for she did not see how she was ever to descend. “No hurry, though,” she thought, and began to whistle as merrily as she could. It would have been very nice in the tree if she didn’t have to think about getting down. Still, she could not sit up there for- ever, so she decided to make an at- tempt. Perhaps she would have reached the ground in safety if she had not miscalculated. In agony she telt her feet swinging clear, felt her grasp of the bough above her giving way, sensed a fall. and destruction, She shut her eves and was letting go replied Diana. W “Julfa and I, there.” She péinted toward the cabin. “Then we are nelghbors. I've a tent on the brook. Trout captivates me. I've had some good luck this after- noon. Let me share with you.” He plcked up a string of beauties ané gave Diana all but two. When she protested he sald he could catch more and probably would after supper. “May I come to call, neighbor?” he asked. ‘Certainly, Diana. Now, who was he? he doing in those woods? Diana won- dered silently and Julia volubly. But she liked him when he came, liked him all the better when she found that he was a hard-working business man who had run away to find a bit of quiet and soul rest. His name was Peter Baldwin and he carried a vol- ume of the Edlee lectures in his pock- et. That gave him and Diana a chance to meet on common ground. They saw each other ever: ing, every afternoon, every evening. Sometimes Julia . accompanied them with a lunch basket fished alone from the big rock. talked of a thousand things and found real companionship.
