Disillusionment
ARK you mm ot those girts who would
rather have ih amurnnce ot com-
nweHocrlty than tha chance of
tMt moee, In another career?
VIimu eoreveei to my mind tha case of
MNttu M , a fctrl of twenty-eight, ho
t aNtee with an unuiuat voice; this doe
MM, mean that her fond parent nnd nj
mirthff but prejudiced friends havo told
r so, for ahe haa been osiured by aev
t managera In New York that alio haa
a "voice"' and has had two or thrco very
' JWieaeeeful concert enirtiitcments.
I aatr her several weeks oiro. She had
Jtwt Returned from a very Important re
atal In anothor city and wm wildly
mlhuelastlc thl year she had quite
up her mind she would devote on
to her music. But now that the
titai, flush of her recent success has worn
It she lms gone back to her secretarial
wrk.
She explains It rationally enough. In
this position sho Is assured of a certain
um each month for tho rest ot her nat
tvra.1 life, Whereas If sho "pulls up stakes"
nnd Rues to tho great metropolis she will
live In constant anxiety Then, too, her
success must oome at onco, while sho la
young and her voice Is full.
Hut don't you agree with me that the
chnnco Is worth taking? If you are one of
thoso women who are hiding their light
under a bushel It you are young and
strong do bring It out, even candlelight Is
preferable to total darkness. I am
etrongtly tempted to quote "Many a rose
Is born"

Dlcw Smoke In Her Face
To fh Editor of th Woman' Faat:
Dear Madam One nlxht while out with a
youna: man he lit a cigarette, and the amoko
blew In my faoe, caualna: mo much annoyance.
I remonstrated, and he begged my pardon, but
kept right on smoking. On reaching home I
rrfuaed another Invitation to bo out with him,
Wao t right or wrong?
l'leaao tell mo an Inexpensive but pretty
costume that I might wear to a Halloween
party. I am a blonde. My girl friend Is not
?iult a light a J. Kindly suggest aomethlna
or her. A DAILY TtEADUIt.
You were entirely right In refusing to go
out ngaln ulth the young man. lie wan
unpartlonably rude In tho first place to
amoko while he was walking with you. If
he has any breeding at all and Is anxious
to seo you ngaln ha will apologize, no
doubt.
The fashion magazines for the current
month contain many suggestions for fancy
dreBS. A Yama-Yama and a Pierrette cob
tume nr both Inexpensive and universally
becoming. They can be mado of sateen. If
you have a brother you can utilize his
pajamas for tho Pierrette costume, trim
ming them with huge pompons In a con
trasting color. Any slippers will do. These
can be trimmed also w.th pompons, and
a hat "an be made of pasteboard, covered
with the material ot which the suit Is
made. A large ruff should be worn around
the throat. If you are both small and
petlto you could dress as little girls. If no
child's frock Is available, a nightgown can
be worn, nnd by tying a broad sash around
the hips or else up under the arms the
extra length ot the gown can be concealed
beneath this. Wear socks over flesh-colored
stockings and flat-heeled slippers. A
smock doe very well for a child's frock.

Don't Mix Business and Pleasure
To tht KdUor ot Ik Woman' Pag;
Dear Madam I am a fair young girl of alx
teen and am employed In an olTlce. One of th
young men there, who la very good-looking and
young men th
ha beautiful
manner, haa asked me to ma tn
lunch with him. II la tha son of th head of
tne firm ana a great eweu. put no works with
th clerk lust as It he wer on. I think be I
so brave and fine, and am Koine to care for
him, I am sure. Do you think I should go
with blm to lunch I BALLY.
You will be a very foolish little girl, my
dear Bally, It you go with this, young man
to lunch. He Is, aa you eay.t the son of
your employer and Is on a higher social
plane than the clerks, even If he Is working
among them to learn th business. Ills In
tentions may be good, but I would be In
clined to oueatlon them! beIdn. vnn mnv
take as a very safe rule that It Is not well1
to mix your social life with business. If the
young man Is sincere tn his Intentions there
will be plenty of time for you to wait and
learn them several years hence. You are
far too young to "care," ns you express
It, for any man aa yet.

MOTHER KATHERINE KRAUSSLACH AND TWO OF HER CHARGES
PRAYER, CAPITAL OF THIS FIRM
DEALING IN DERELICT LIVES
ASIC anybody of your acquaintance If he
li prays. Ask him quickly nnd unex
pectedly, beforo he has time to arrange
his countenance and compose an answer.
See hhn squirm. Hear him wriggle out
an: "r.r, oh, woll not often."
Do this frequently and you'll come to
tho conclusion that prayer In this ngo ot
eelf-BUfllclency In almost If not qu to obso
lete. To supplicate anybody for anything.
It would seem, In weak.
Uut out on n farm beyond Hatboro,
206 happy children are being fed, clothed,
housed nnd educated all by tho simple
means of prayer. If you don't believe It
take n trnln out there and talk to
"Mother" Knthcrlno Krnusslach or Dr.
Albert Oetlngcr.
The Christ Home for Homeless and Desti
tute Children Is n high-sounding Institu
tional name for one of the most humanly
philanthropic places I hao ever visited. It
Is run by tho machinery of faith nnd
.prayer .makes tho wheels go 'round. It Is
nonsectarlan.
ntAYnit oni,y itnsouncE
Without nn endowment, without any of
the avnnues of financial resource upon
which most charitable homes call, this lit
tle farm has kept Itself wonderfully alive
and growing for thirteen yearn by a daunt
less belief, to quote "Mother" Krausslach, In
the literal truth of tho biblical words: "If
ye abide In Ma and My words abide in you,
yo shall ask what ye will and It shall bo
dono unto you."
When they need a cake of soap out there,
or n cow, pr a corn field, or a new building,
they get down on their knees, 'from the
tiniest child to tho oldest worker, and nsk
God for It.
Then thoy get It. To the skeptlo that Is
strange.
Thirteen yenrs ago Katherlne Krauss
lach, who was tho lady's maid to Mrs. Rob
ert Garrett, of Baltimore, and had traveled
the world over with her, felt Imbued with
the desire to work for others, with no
thought of remuneration, rather than for
herself. Sho was In Philadelphia visiting
her sister when she met Doctor Oetlngcr,
who nt the same time entertained a similar
desire. They started a homo In the BOO
block ot North Fifth street for destitute
children. The personal savings of thexo
two constituted the exchequer. Two chil
dren wero taken In. Now there are 206.
There were many times when the; ship
rocked. Onco there was not enough to eat
In tho house and the children were don on
their little knees asking for food. One
youngster murmured something about po
tatoes. "I got up from the ground." "Mother"
Krausslach told mo In her German ac
cent, "and went out In the kitchen and
put a pot of water on the stove, 'What
did you do that for, mother?' one ot the
older girls asked me. 'Because,' I replied,
'I believe that when God sees our need lie
will send us the food we require. We're
going to get those potatoes.' "
Tho sublimity of such faith merits re
ward, It got It. The potatoes and a whole
wagonload of other foodstuff were sent to
them by seme neighbors out ot the abund
ance of a harvest celebration they wero
having. The boiling water was ready.
The children at the home are taken from
the gutter, the Juvenile Court, the Chil
dren's Aid from anywhere. There Is little
Mnry, half blind and deformed In body.
Where she came from no one knows, but
she was rescued from an organ grinder
who literally owned the child and would
take her on his dally rounds, stand her up
In front of his music box to Incite the pity
which his wheery playing did not.
There Is Frank, halt Armenian, who still
bears on his back the marks of the hot
poker with which his unnatural mother was
wont to beat him. There Is tour-months-old
John, a wee thing, whose arms are Just
now beginning to lose the aspect of pepper
mint sticks. He was left on the doorslll
when he was only a few days old and,
although the home was crowded to the gun
wales, he Just had to be taken In, They
hadn't prayed for an Infant at that par
ticular time, their hands being full, but a
baby left on a doorslll Is sadly In need of
adtomo and room was made. Miraculously
a helper came forward and offered her
services In caring for It and the baby In
getting Individual attention. Some day It
will grow up and advise all other llttlo
babies to be left on doorsllls because It
By M'LISS
had such a happy time as the result of Its
experience.
AM. IN I.OVI7S LABOIl.
There nro forty workers nt the home.
Not onn of them Is paid. The man who
meets you with tho rart nt the trnln gives
his services voluntarily. You realize In
stantly that he Is a bit different from other
men who have met you ut trains. Despite
his hard-worn blue Jeans and frayed cap
there's something spiritual nbout him. nnd
It Isn't Just because he doesn't "chaw" to
bacco nnd admonish the nnlmat to "Old
dsp." It's because, he radiates a goodness
that good people do radiate, and you feel
Its contagion; that If ynu stayed In his
neighborhood a little while ynu would bo
ery likely to catch It
The colored woman who does the Iron
ing Is n hard-working cook bIx days In
the week. The seventh, her day off, she
comes all tho way to Hatboro to perform
a gratuitous service for these llttlo chil
dren. The dentist, n fine, upstanding figure of
a man, gave up a good practice to work
at tho home.
"And when there aren't enough teeth that
need attention," he told me, "I Just pitch
In and do anything, mend harness or shoes."
Seeing this llttlo community at work
teachers, klndergartners,i seamstresses,
cooks, waitresses, housemaids, farmers,
builders, printers, painters, nhocmukers: In
fact, followers of all the trades that keep
life In motion T was reminded of the I)a
varlan village Oberammergau, whero tho
passion piny Is given eery ton years. The
people of this village are raised In the belief
that they must lead very, very holy lives
In order to be worthy to piny their parts.
In time they come to wear almost sanc
tified expressions. The voluntary servers
at Hatboro who have devoted their lives
to little children and to God also look
like that .
"Mother" everybody calls her that
looks like a very healthy Madonnu. The
children adore her. She Is a real mother
to them. The grass on the lawn Is beau
tiful and velvety, but not too beautiful or
too velvety for them to lie Upon. Food Is
expensive, but It must be found for them.
"Mother, van I have a piece of bread?"
It Isn't the dinner hour and a nourish
ing breakfast has been served, but the
young one gets the slice of bread Just the
same.
They wave at her, these lrreslstably
klssable kids, aa she shows the visitor
around : from the wagon they are clamber
ing In and out, from the porch, from the
cow pasture; they run at her full force
and she opens wide her arms; they kiss
her and pet her. Just as children were made
to kiss and pet
Ordinarily there Is nothing so sad as a
child "with a past," These children all
have pasts. They are the merriest kids I
have ever seen.
Forty men nnd women nre giving all
their time and labor without any thought
of earthly reward to making them so.
Out they will tell you that It Is prayer.

MY MARRIED LIFE
By ADELE GARRISON
IerENT a dreary forenoon washing the
dishes and putting the apartment to
rights. I dreaded the discussion with Dicky
at luncheon, I had Insisted before ny
marriage that I must either do most of
the housework, or keep up some of my
old work to add to our Income. To have
a maid, while I did nothing to Justify my
existence save keep myself pretty and en
tertain Dicky, savored too much to me
of the harem favorite. A mother of small
children, a woman with .a large house,
one who had old people lo care for or
whose health was not good was Justified
In having help, nut for me, well, strong,
with a tiny apartment and Just Dicky,
to employ a maid without myself earning
al least enough to pay for the extra ex
pense of having her It was simply Im
possible. I had been Independent too long.
Tho situation was galling.
The postman's ring Interrupted my
thoughts. I went to the door, receiving a
number of advertisements, a letter or two
for Dicky and one, addressed In an un
familiar handwriting, to myself. I opened
It nnd rend It wonderlngly.
"My dear Mrs. drahnm," It began.
"Our rluh Is planning a course In his
tory for the coming year. We need an
experienced conductor for the class, which
will meet once a week. Your name has
been suggested to us as that of one who
might be willing to take up the work. The
compensation will not bo ns large as that
given by the larger clubs for lectures, as
we nro n small organisation, but I do not
think you will hnve to devote much of your
time to the work outside of the weokly
meeting.
"Will you kindly let me know when I
can meet you nnd talk this over with you.
If you decide to consider It? Yours very
truly. IirXHN UIUINnilD SMITH.
"Secretary lotus Study Club,
, "216 West Washington avenue."
Had the solution to my problem cornel
Armed with this I could talk to Dicky at
luncheon without any fears.
Tho receipt of the letter put me In a
royal good humor. I did not care how
little tho compensation was, although I
knew that It would be for more than
enough to pay the extra expense of hav
ing n maid, an expense which I was deter
mined to defray.
Teaching or lecturing upon historical sub
jects was child's play to me. I had spe
cialized In It. nnd had been counted one of
tho most successful Instructors In that
branch In tho city. Woman's club work
was new to me, but tho husband ot one of
my friends had once conducted such a
course, nnd I knew I could get nil the
Information I needed from him,
I thought ot Dicky's possible, objections,
hut brushed tho thought nside. Ho had
objected to my going on with my regulnr
school work, and I realized that the hours
which I would have been compelled to give
to that work would have conflicted seri
ously with our home life. But here was
something that would take me away from
homo so little.
The apartment looked very nttractlve by
this time. I had put It In perfect order,
and. In my new enthusiasm, I slipped on
A Way Opened
my hst and coat, and walked three blocks
to a little center of shops, where I bought
some flowers, aa well as the things for
luncheon.
When I returned X saw that I would have
to hurry to get luncheon ready at 1 o'clock,
Dicky's time of getting home, but I was
so enthusiastic over my prospects that I
fairly flew around the kitchen and, at the
stroke of one, my chops were done to a
turn, my potato balls delicately browned,
and everything else In readiness.
,A LONO WAIT
Dut no Dicky appeared. Ite had been
most punctual every day of the week we
had been keeping house. I waited an hour,

had Juat finished when the door opened to

"Oeel but I'm hungry!" was his greeting.
"I hope you have something good."
"Jt Isn't good at all now," I returned. "1
had It nil ready for you at 1 o'clock, and
now It Is after 3. What In the world was
the matter?"
"Forgot all about everything," he said
laconically. "Got so Interested In that
cover I didn't know anything else, until Just
now when I realized I was halt starved.
You'll have to get used to that, Madge.
You've married an artist, you know, and
when tha mood Is on we work without any
thought of time of food or even of pretty
brides." He patted my shoulder playfully.
"Well, sit down In that easy chair, and
I'll do whnt I can for you," I promised,
"but I can't give you anything very good.
A luncheon that has been cooked for two
hours Isn't exactly a meal for an epicure,
you know."
"Don't call names like that, Madge,"
Dicky grinned audaciously, "I'm hungry
enough to eat the tablecloth."
I warmed up tho food as best I could,
set the table again and waited until Dicky
