Driving It Homel
Let us drive home to you
the fact that no washwo-
man can wash clothes in
as sanitary a manner as
that in which the work is
done at our laundry.
We use much more water,
change the water many
more times, use purer and
more costly soap, and keep
all the clothes in constant
motion during the entire
process.
It is simply a matter of having
proper facilities.

IN UNION SQUARE, NEW YORK.
By Walter Pritchard Eaton.
A wind blast of fine snow had scoured the walks
In Union Square until they wore a glaze
More treacherous than ice. My collar up,
My head bent low to face the gale, I strode
To reach the warm wood fires at a club
Not far beyond, and dinner with my back
Against a glowing grate. Midway across
The park I saw a woman slip and fall,
And with a crash her burden of split boards
Went down beside her and slid sprawling out. |
Of course, I hurried to her side, intent ok
To see if she were hurt, and got my hands \
Beneath her arms, and lifted her—a load
So light I braced for twice the needed pull—
And set her on her foot. She was not hurt,
But, God! she hurt me as her eyes met mine!
The gratitude of some stray cur was there
When he expects a cuff but gets a bone,
And licks your hand and will not go away.
What had I done to earn a look like this?
Then suddenly I saw! A dozen men
Were passing py, like me, and not a one
Had more than turned his head; only a boy,
Ragged as she, had left his box of wood
And now was gathering into a pile
Her scattered load of broken boards.
America has made its women queens—
Yet this dumb creature in her threadbare black
Could only look at me, a well dressed man,
_As homeless dogs look up when they are fed
And coaxed by kindness to forget their fear!
She had no gloves; her red and claw-like hands
Showed splits between the kunckles like raw wounds;
Her coat would not have kept a kitten warm.
I could not speak—a choke Was in my throat,
A pity fierce and hot had clutched my heart.
I only put her load beneath her arm :
And in her hand what ‘money I could spare,
And ran, a coward, from her grateful eyes.
I felt a guilty, helpless thing—my guilt
That I should be a partner in the crime
Of making any woman, anywhere,
Amazed at chivalry, and making, too,
The poverty that sings to taking alms;
My helplessness that I should be but one
Of all the millions ly of ‘this crime.
“Oh, God,” I prayed, “make me not to forget
This aching pity that is at my heart,
Make me to fight against the monster, Greed,
And help to bring the day of Brotherhood,
They say
~ When nene shall go in furs till all are clad,
When in America there are no queens,
But every woman holds her head erect,
The happy Tnistress of a happy home!”
