Love’s Awakenmg The llnti Story suwux Wc-u By Adele Garrison Kathorine Agress There s Somle- thing “Fishy” About Brixton’s Letter. . At my suggestion that Lillian show to Katherine the letter from Samuel Brixton which had so dis- turbed her and over husband was also excited, she rose and went to her desk, Katherine's hands. “ could knit a pair of golf stock- ings with the wool my wits have accumulated,” she said. “‘But read that over, Katrina, and tell me what you think of it. I'm not going to tell you my reaction to it nor yet Madge's. I want your own unbiased judgment of the screed.” The little nurse took the read it through carefully, turned to the beginning a again. Then she laid it in h and looked up at us. “Plcase!” she said. *“It doesn’t seem fair to form a snap judgment letter, then - lap of & man one never has scen just | from a letter.” “I'd rather trust your ‘snap judgment,’ Katrina,” Lillian told her fondly, “than that of a whole raft of diplomats and statesmen. .Come on, be a good sport and tell me what you think of it.” “Well! then,” Katherine said, “it sounds fishy to me — his offer of restitution, and his sudden wish to visit you.’ “Ah!" Lillian drew her breath in sharply. “That makes it unanimous.

Burgess ‘You'll always find that it is true There's some one that's worse off than you. —Old Mother Nature Misery loves company. Peter Rab- bit was feeling very miserable, He was in a bramble-tangle in the Green Forest. He was frightened and sore. He had been surprised by one ot Yowler the Bobcat's babies and badly scratched. 8o when he was joined by Whitefoot the Wcod Mouse and discovered that White- foot wanted to leave the Green Forest, because he too was terribly frightened, Peter felt better. “Somehow it doesn't seem as if things are fair in this world,” said Peter, “What do you mean?” squeaked ‘Whitefoot. “Why, some of us have to watch out for ever so0 many enemies and others have only a few to watch out for,” said Peter. “If you had as many to watch out for as I have to watch out for you might complain,” Whitefoot. “If you think things are hard for you, what do you think of me?" “Oh, I don’t know that you have #0 many more enemies than I have,” said Peter. “Huh!” exclaimed Whitefoot. “If I had no more enemies than you have I'd be a happy Mouse. I have every single enemy that you have and, because I'm so small, I have a lot more who never think of lock- ing for you or toucking you if they see you. You are too big for Spooky the Screech Owl, but I have to watch out for his smaller cousin 8aw Whet the Acadian Owl.

And now to think that there are two young Bobcats to watch for. I've got to get out of the Green Forest, that's all there is to it.” “I dom’t blame you for that way,” replied Deter. little while ago I told my Jumper the Hare, that I'd had enough of the Green Forest and when I get back to the dear Old Briar-patch I'm going to stay there, I'll tell you what, Whitefoot come along with me to the dear Old Briar-patch and make your home therc. It's the best and safest place in all the Great World. You'll pertfectly hdf\h\ over there. What do you say Thoughtfully Whitefoot scratched his nose with one of his little white hands. “Is it far over there?” he demanded “Oh, no,” replied Peter, fo that what would oe a short d for him would be a long distanc for such a little feliow White- foot. “Oh, no, it isn't far over there. You just follow my white tail and I'll lead you right over there” “When?" asked Whitefoot “Oh, by and by,” replied Poter rather indefinitely.

That, she says, was one of the outstanding * facts brought out at the Internationsl Social Weltare Fortnight in Paris, where abe rep- resented the American government. However, it also was disclosed that countries are meeting the problem with much greater effici- ency than formerly. The world war and the unemploy- ment after the war are the reasons, and_ various countries now have come to the point in post-war work where definite stock may be taken. “Another encouraging angle,” Miss Lenroot said, “is the great emphasis being placed on home én- vironment by welfare agencies the world over. “There is a growing acceptance of the theory that the state should take care of dependent children and do it, not with the cold, remote atmospbere of institutions, but in & real, homelike manner, “So, .for these many dependent children the various countries ore meeting the problemt by providing state aid to the mothers wiitre pos. sible so they may be kept in their own hemes, or they are put inte in. stitutions built on the cottage plan where more individual care and homelike environment is possible.” Miss Lenroot presented a paper at the conference prepared by Mias Grace Abbott, chief of the chil- dren’s bureau. The growing senti- ment of the world, as revealed at the conference, Miss Lenroot said, is for the preservation of the home.

Mother Nature seems to try to outdo herself in the fall garden. She crowds a glorious array of bril. liant color into one grand display, seeming to sense that this is the end of the season and the last chance to show them in all their slory. If your garden is not fairly alive with color this fall you have over- looked a great opportunity. There are s0 many things that bloom at this time. Among the hardy plants that give color now we have th Helenium in its yellow, terra cottas and golds; the well known annuals Zinnia, Calendula, and Marigdids; perennial Gaillardia and Coreopsis, as well as the hardy Asters. In sections where they are hardy, there are the beautitul and showy Japanese Anemones and the Chrys- anthemums. There are a groat many other plants and shrubs that give good color at this season and if you will be on the lookout for them you can plant to get some delightful garden pictures. Every gardener can be an artist, painting with lavish niasses of living color, in shades and tones never scen upon an artist's canvas. But if you are to have these gar- den pictures you must plan and plant for them. This fall you must make notes of the places where your garden lacks color and see what you can devise to fill out the bare places, then you Must plant and next season you will have color where you want jt. Your garden is a great opportumi- ty and you can take advantage of it it you will. Visit the local nursery and note the things that are in bloom at this time and you will get some ideas that will help you to make yours a better garden, GELATINE SALADS All left over fresh fruits and veg- etables can be used to advantage. if you put them immediately into & gelatine salad.

TODAY Here is a picture of Mrs. Rheba Crawford Sommers as she appears today, snapped at her home in Cali- fornia. She is an ardent tennis player and is quite expert at the game. Sept. 1 M—The girl they called “the Angel of Broadway” helped scores of the White Way's victims to find happi- ness and contentment—but she hasn't been able to find either of those things for herself. Broadway's Salvation Army lassie, known in private life as Rheba Crawford, quit her work on the big street four years ago to get married. And now she and her husband, J. Harold Sommers, a war veteran, have separated. Home life, she has found out, is not for her. ' 8he has gcne back to her first love—preach- ing the gospel—and is now serving as the ordained minister of a large Congregational church here. “There is no legal separation, and we haven't talked of a divorce,” she says., “We both realize that we are victims of environment anr heredity. Both believe that God expects of us only to render the best service to the world that we can, and get as much happiness, light and laugh- ter in return as possible.” Preached on Broadway Miss Crawford was one of the best known women in New York a few years ago. Nightly she preach- ed on the street corners.of Brgad- way. And cynical, wise-cracking Broadway—looking for a selfish motive behind everything, and often failing to understand the meaning of the word “service"—accepted her face value. She was winsome gnd prefty and charming; but Broadway has scen many with those attributes, What stumped Broadway was the fact that she was utterly unselfish and utterly sincere. Those are rare qualities in the White Light district. 80, when she gave up her work to get married, Broadway united in wishing her happiness. Broadway felt that if there was one girl any- where who deserved a happy mar- ried life it was Rheba Crawford. Miss Crawford at first tried te continue her work. But she felt this was not fair to her husband; 80, presently, she retired, and the two went to a Florida city and she tried to settle down as a regular, stay-at-home wife, But it didn’t work. The small- talk of their new social set failed to interest the girl who had been a sort of mother-confessor to yegg- men, dancing girls and down-and- outers. And, by the same token, her own experiences were some- what “out of bounds” as topics for polite conversation, “I just found I didn’t fit in,” she cays. “I couldn't work up any en- thusiasm over bridge parties. I did not seem to understand parties. Pleasure, to me, had to be spelled in a different way. I felt so sorry for my husband, but I was too old to learn. Even my hushand could not understand. I couldn't work up any enthusiasm over gossip when I femembered real heartbreaks and true stories I had seen and listeped to. “I ‘sensed 8San Francisco, the race. on {he march, and ‘T was out 6f the pa- tade. I wondered about the pul- pit, about Broadway, about some of my old charges. The town was too small, too filled with religious feuds, for me to chance local work."” . Her husband offered to return to the platform, but she refused, vowing that she would stick to the new role she had un- dertaken. It was no use. nervous breakdown resulted. Her husband eummoned doctars .and a long consultation was held; and it was agreed that her place was back in her old envornoment. In Another World “We came to realize that my marriage had taken me out of my world into his, and that I would always be a stranger there,” she said. “And, in turn, he realized it would be just as bad 1if he tried to enter my world. So, with every g0od wish his love could give, he sent me back to the platform.” Bhe paused for a moment, cast- ing her mind's eye back over her let her IN 193¢ Above {s Rheba Crawford as she appeared when she was a Salvation Army lassie, preaching on Broad- way four years ago. Below ia her husband, J. Harold Sommers, for whom she gave up ‘evangelism to wed. eventful life, “Long ago the first desire to preach God's word came to me,” she went on. I have deserted it, but constantly my life’s paths have brought me back to the platform or the pulpit. And I have learned much since I preached on Broad- way. “The problems I solve so easily for. been ditficult for me to solve for myself. From it all I have gained & much clearer view of that Man whom life chastened long ago. Christ was real to me on Broad- way; but he is doubly real to- day. “And now I hope men may know Him as the living, loving, laugh. ing Christ of the wedding of Cana- in Gallilee; the suffering, agonized Christ of Gethsemane; the disil- lusioned Christ of Judas' betrayal, and the trimphant Christ ef Easter morning.” Blue and Gray Both Favored Potential First Ladies Give Preference.
