THURSDAY, DECLMBER 5, 1918 % Husbands and Wives * We Know---No. IX.: THE UPLIFTERS \ By Nixola Greeley-Smith Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) PF’ many years the climate of New York City was regarded as dis- | tinctly unfavorable to all “uplift” movements, and the race of uplitt- ers seemed likely to pass into our history ag a dim political tradition like the Aztecs or the Lost Tribes of Israel. Them two- things happened to which historians to come must attrib. ute New York's great renaiseance of reformers. One of these was the strike of girl garment makers—the other the Triangle fire. Think it over! If you know an “uplift” couple now raising a large family of little wplitt- ers, ask ypurself if they did not meet and love in cireum- stances attending one or the other of these great excla mation points of city life. And if you don’t know any uplifters (accept my congratulations or condolences, SERESREEE according to your point of view), search the literature of our times for light on the subject You will find in novel after novel that the handsome voung millionaire Settiement worker (where outside of books does one encounter that magi« Comtination, though we are looking for hie address?) always meets the | girl of his choice for the first time as she is carrying somebody out of the burning fectory or %s she defies ten bullying sirike breakers while acting as 4 picket for the garment workers.

Don't you see what I've envied you? Your richness of feeling all through?” Now it may be that the husband and wife I am attempting to describe as “the Uplifters” have this richness of feeling.
