The quest for employment Is difficult.
She Is almost starving when she en

V-'T'LL rite you a ring before
I Monday." Ralph had Mid.
bnt Sunday dragged to a
funereal close without a word
from him, and though Daphne
was f ready and waiting Monday
evening, he did not come.
Tuesday ' passed, and Wednes
day. "The days are setting
'"shorter," Miss Viola complained,
grudgingly lighting the gas In the
.hall -right after supper. But days
had Ssever seemed so , long to
Daphne.
Flora McCardle dashed giggling
" down the stairs every night with
a different "gentleman friend
and old Mrs. Kinkle peeked
through ber crack In the kitchen
door and grumbled. "Out again!
Ach, I don't know, a ber when I
was young we didn't run wild!"
Once she pinched Daphne's cheek
with her dark, workworn hand.
"Dot's a good girl, not always mlt
boys . . . like my Viola, good,
too. ..."
Like Viola .... '
"Oh!" D&phne rushed to her
room, to throw herself wildly on
the faded red couch and bury her
bead under the musty sofa cush
ions and cry in peace. . To think
that anyone, even Old Mrs. Hin
kle, could believe that she wanted
to stay home night -after night in
this ghastly place . . . to think
that nobody wanted her and she'd
go on waiting and waiting forever
... .like Miss Viola.
But the tears of yesterday al
ways gave place to the hopes of
today. "He'll surely phone to
night . . he's a busy man, I can't
expect him to cal me every
night."
And every night, long before T
o'elock, sbe put on her best blue
dress and her chiffon stockings
"Just In case". She waited fever
ishly In her room, moving rest
lessly from the squeaky rocker to
the dresser to add a last minute
dab of powder, and back to the
rocker, and oyer to the window

Listening for the telephone . . .

DEVOTED THIS DAYTG
CHILDREN'S WELFARE
Dr. Copeland Applauds Congressional Designation

United States Senator from New York
Former Commissioner of Health, He York CUf.

ances and devotes a few minutes to the discussion ef matters
having to de with the health of the people. When in one ef
these happy moods It passed the following resolution:

"Hello!" Her yoke shaking a
little, her face all glowing and
starry with hope. -?. : -
But It was always for some
body else.
And every time she saw Flora
wrapped In the rich summer er
mine coat she thought. "If I had a
coat like that he'd take me out. I
I donY blame him. He was
ashamed of me "
The more she thought of it, the
surer she was that the old blue
coat was to' blame. She would
hold it up and look at Its shiny,
shapeless sides. Would any self
respecting man want to go ont
with a coat like that?" And that
hateful last night ... her cheeks
burned again at the thought . . .

and the fog ... He must have

She gulped angrily. "He must

i She thought of the credit shops.
But suppose something happened.
Suppose she got sick, or lost her
job before her purchases were
paid for? And the ten dollars not
yet paid back to Ralph . .
She would figure surreptitiously
In the office when she should have
been typing . . . Three yards of

would take her two days at least,
maybe two and a half. And lin

dear ...
Perhaps a sale coat would be
better after all. If you paid $10
down and $1.00 a week for ten

The work would pile up while
she would figure and plan and
dream.
"Well. I gotta get rid of Miss
Haines, that's all," Miss AbramS,
the girl in charge of the office,
said, "she gets worse all the time.
Too bad, too. because she's a good
typist."

Daphne found the notice on her
desk the next morning. It was
brief and business like. Her ser
vices Would not be required after
the first of September.
Kind, courteous and final. No
explanation as to why they no
longer required her services. . ..No
second chance.
"Now I have something to wor
ry about!" she thougfit miserably,
tossing on the lumpy couch that
night, but not even losing the Job
seemed ag important as losing
Ralph.
Even getting out of the house
at night didn't help. No sooner
would she get three blocks away
than she would have a terrible
feeling that he was calling, and
run all the way home, only to find
out that no one had called at all.
Sometimes Miss Viola Insisted
on accompanying her on the short
walks that she wanted so much to
be solitary. Poor Miss Viola, hur
rying along on her fat feet, hold
ing tight to Daphne's arm, puffing
a tittle as she talked.
But Sunday was the worst.
Everybody, even the Hinckles,
went out. Mrs. Spellman and Mrs.
Halliday, the married ladles who
wore kimonas until fire o'elock on
other days, emerged from their
flannelette cocoons like middle-
aged butterflies. Dressy and per
spiring, ready for an afternoon at
the movies with their freshly
shaved and brushed husbands.
Flora, giggling hilariously,
climbed into an open touring ear
Into which two girls, three men
and a police dog were already
"Resolved by the Senate and House ef Rep
resentatives of the United States of America in
Congress assembled, That the President of the
United States is hereby authorized and requested
to issue annually a proclamation setting apart
May 1 of each year as Child Health Day and
inviting all agencies and organizations interested
in child welfare to unite upon that day ia the
observance of such exercises as will awaken the
people of the nation to the fundamental neces
sity of a year-round program for the protection
and development of the health of the nation's
children. I
By authority of this Act of Congress, the
President proclaimed Child Health Day this year.
May . Day, which has always been given to the
children, win this year and each year following,
be observed as National Play Day. Recreation
and nlavrronnd associations and all lovers of
houses and great hotels take all the
space that might be given ever to
ball fields and- playgrounds. But
there are children problems every
where and they must be solved.
la every sense the child Is the cor
nerstone of the nation. Unl
we 5
can guarantee to our children that
the BUI of Rights shall be something
more than a proclamation, we have
not gone far in solving the problem
of the future.
To my mind, good health Is funda
mental to spirituality, to education,
to prosperity; to good ettlsenshlp,
and to the welfare of the nation.
Whatever we can do en Child Health
Day to awaken an Interest a the
physical welfare-of the chOdrea,wm
mesa that we nave done our part to
lay broad and deep the foundations

packed, and dropped, with a shout
of laughter, onto her boy friend's
lap.
. After Flora was gone the house
was deadly quiet. Boards began to
squeak, doors to rattle.
"I can't stand It!" Daphne
thought, "I can't! I can't!"
She put on her hat, and the
despised blue coat, and walked, all
the long blocks to Golden Gate
Park. It was a glorious day. She
sat forlornly on a. bench and
watched other girls and their
sweethearts walk by. .
"If Ralph asked mo where I
wanted to come, rd choose to
come here, she thought wistfully,
watching another young couple in
an open car.

trod need to secure the indictment
came from testimony DeGuire gave

DO you suppose little Rolf ever
imagined that it was his
shadow who helped him? Of
coarse not! Rolf never even no

with Rolf was that he couldn't
manage to com early to dinner.
Despite the fact that his mother
begged him and his father urged
him, he came in late. It waa the
same thing night after night
Now, among those who weTe
particularly annoyed with the lit
tle boy's tardiness was Flor, his
shadow. The sad fact was-that
the later Rolf arrived, the less
there was to eat for poor Master
Flor., " The reason for this was

"Dear me," Flor would say,
when he finally reached the table,
"I wish I cpuld get here early for

Well, it happened one night
that the tardy boy came In late,
as usual. "Rolf, said his father,
sternly, "if you arent here at six
o'clock sharp tomorrow, you go to

was positively terrified. He al

Home-Making H
- By ELEANOR ROSS
The Decline of the Left-Overs
YOU may recall Oscar Wilde's
famous definition of a gentle
. man as one who never Insults
another Intentionally. So one
might describe the competent
housekeeper who never has left
overs unintentionally.
Fashions In housekeeping
change, like everything else.
There was a time when good cooks
prided themselves on the elegant
dishes they could turn out of odds
and ends in the Icebox. Indeed,
a hefty section of most prudent
cook books was devoted to direc
tions ror using left-overs, and
whole books were written on the
subject. If truth be told, many
of these concoctions were gross ex
travagance. In order to use up
a few bits of meat or vegetables,
the ostensibly thrifty cook added
a number of rather high-priced In
gredients. One of the prize cases
that sticks in memory. Is culled
from a foreign cook' book and
Flor and his shadow. They
glanced up at the clock. So did
little Rolf's father. They all saw
that it was already two minutes
past six. Just then Hanid, who
was standing by the window,
spied the boy and his shadow hur
rying home at Jast.
"What a pity," she said to the
other shadows, "that poor Flor
should have to lose his dinner on
account of two minutes."
"Can't we do something about
it?" exclaimed Mij and Yam. They
were all really sorry for their
comrade Flor, you see.
They ran up to the clock and
tried to push back the hands. Un
fortunately shadows have no
strength to speak of. They can't
push back anything.
;J.It looked pretty black for Flor
when Knarf, who had merely been
looking "on said: "I'll show' you
what to do. Then he stepped up
to the dock. "How long-will it
take you to reach six o'clock
again?"
"Eleven hours and fifty-eight

Economy is sometimes an ex4

and try vainly to disguise its etal

"If I tell you how to reach It
in two minutes, .will you do H?'
"Of course." replied the clock,
"I always want to save time."
"Very well, then." said Knarf,
slyly, "Just turn backwards in
stead of forwards."
Three minutes later in walked
the tardy boy and his shadow.
"You're five minutes late,
said his father. "There'll be r,ft
dinner for you tonight."
Rolf believed'his father and
was about to walk off when
shouted: "Look at the clock!"
- The; boy didn't hear anything
exactly, but it seemed that some
thing told him to look at the clock.
"Why," he exclaimed, "it's
minute to six. I'm early."
His father glanced at the clock,
too. Jmagine his astonishment t
see that Rolf was suite right.
"It is one fnnte to six." b
cried, "and getting earlier eveiy;

Rolf got hi dinner anyway
and Flor did. too.
