A broker who bought papers from her on the fly had nicknamed her that because she reminded him of an "Aunt Em" who had reared him. Like most happjr misnomers, It stuck. Aunt Em's real„ name was-- well, no matter. There was something short and stoat and matronly about the appellation "Aunt Em." Something kind and wholesome. The name fitted th^.little woman to the decent black and the straw poke bonnet which «be wore both winter and summer as she sold newspapers to the flying world that; hurtled past her doorway... Every evenlng at five, rain, snow, shine, storm, Aunt Etn stewd shouting her wares In her dtSorway. ; When the last theater light blinked out, she wrapped np her loose change in a red handkerchief, tucked under her folding camp chair for that purpose and with her daughter, Ayenda, who called for her, marched her way home. In a way, Aunt Em was quite a character about that busy neighborhood. In the quick tide of its ebb and flow she had known great people by sight (some as customers), and hundreds of clerks and petty folk on their way to aobway and tram nodded Aunt Em their good morrow as they tossed their pennies, snatched their dallies, and ran. That little tucked-ln corner In the doorway had yielded Aunt Em twenty years of livelihood. Enough, mind you, to' rear Into successful maturity six offspring with whom she had struggled, a widow, through years so lean, some of them, that the gutters in her face still showed the ravages of pain, deprivation. even hunger. All that was changed now. Five of the six children had left the nest, three sons and two daughters, married, and were on their own. A fairly prosperous little flock -of petty trades people, set up here and there about the great city in such small enterprises as stationer's shop, fruit stand or notion store. All of them given their start, too, by willing, if lean contributions from the old lady's change handkerchief. When shelwas sixty Aunt Em might well have felt entitled to sit back and let tmjseffflp whom she had toiled throughtEeyearg do some of the toiling for her. That was what lay heavily on the heart of Wenda, the only unmarried one of the flock. Of course the others all offered to contribute to the upkeep of the old woman, but somehow, to Wenda, who felt passionately about it, there was something half-hearted about the profferings of the sons and daughters, and the in-laws. In her heart, Wenda felt bitter toward these brothers and sisters. It did not seem to twist their hearts the way It did hers to see the old woman standing humped in her doorway, shouting. Not that the old woman could be easily dissuaded from her labors. On the contrary, Wenda had occasion to know that all too emphatically. After all, on her own earnings as stenographer at twenty-eight dollars a week, Wenda was well able to take the burden-of the labor of long hours, outdoor exposure, to say nothing of the menial aspect of the work, off her mother's shoulders. Night after night, calling for her mother after theater hours, Wenda argued with her along these lines. It was rather an incongruous spectacle to see the girl and the woman huddled there together in the doorway. Wenda, who had a pretty, eager sort of face, as If she were smelling at a star, and who was attired in all the mock splendor of the New York office girl, wrapping the old news woman carefully across the shoulders In the knitted Jacket she had worn for years and stacking the unsold newspapers in their corner of the doorway where, by arrangement, a small boy called for them before sun up. Sometimes Wenda had to admit to herself that It was the sting of the social stigma that went with her mother's occupation, almost as much as the desire to spare her effort, that prodded her on to remonstrance. "Mamma, how do you think a girt feels having a newsboy for a mother?" "Go along! A newsboy for a mother was what kept enough warm milk In your baby bottle to make you what you are." . "You're entitled to rest now." "Yes? My boys and girls got enough struggle to ralse-thelr own families." "I'll never marry. What fellow, the kind I'd like, if I like any, would marry Into a newsglrrs family? On my salary I could come home evenings to a home with a supper on the table instead of having to know my mother Is out newsboying P* "You're a good girl, but Tm « topd newsboy." /• • "Don't you think--a--a girl !n an office, meeting the kinda people I do all day--kinda--feels it--having a newsboy for a mother? It's not like with the others. They never got out lb the world. A newsboy mother help a girl's social position." "Not if sboV a* honest newsboy 1* "Mamma, tot me take caro of yon.* "Go long. I wont be made a granny ««t When I haven't got any more chicks to take care of, at least, I can take care of myself. You've got year own life. Live it.- "I tell you I'll never marry.* But of course one day Wenda, who was stenographer In a lawyer's office, did meet a young clerk named Laddie Evans, to whom her little, young moon of a face was beauty and delight. He was a straw-colored young mas' with a lithe, athletic body, great, square, white, healthy young teeth and a hand grip that was youth and /vitality In one. In the office they met* these two, and life suddenly became' something to tingle and flush over. New impulses to cry, to laugh, to dance, to shiver ecstatically, raced over Wenda all of a morning When Laddie Evans passed her type-writing machine goose flesh popped out over him like little bells ringing. Yet Wenda had a head on her. The daughter who had a mother-who-was-anewsboy looked back Into the eyes of L-addie with her heart crying^ but her Ups firm. ( * It was hard, because, almost from the first day that they had begun to be conscious of one another, Laddie was for plunging into the heart of the affair. He bung over her desk at noon time and Importuned her to go to an automat for ,lunch. He slid little paper bags of cherries which he had purchased off a push cart Into her lap, He waited for her at closing, and she evaded him by sneaking out of a side door. One day--he was a bold youth--he wrote her a note in long hand, sending it In to her by an office boy. "Why won't you go out to dinner with me tonight and give me the chance to tell you that I love you? You might as well give in and get it over with. I'll get you yet I love you.--Laddie." With her lips quite fins, Wenda wrote him back: "Yes, IH have dinner with you." They met down in the gulch of For. ty-flfth street, after office hours. There was something really lovely about Wenda. The dewiness of tears shining behind her beauty. And Laddie was like a god. Heady with the wine of new love. "Wenda," he said, "why -have you been so cruel? Nothing can stop the thing between us." She looked at hinr|flth ber eyes' dry and her heart crying. "You must work,"' she said, "and not indulge in nonsense. Some day you will be a big lawyer." "I know I will if you help me. Come, Wenda, let's go to dinner--we've all of life to plan." "No--yes--but first--I 'must stop by and see--my mother--have you a mother? Where Is your mother?" "Sure I've a mother. The greatest ever." "Where--Is--she--'* "Oh, she's home. We've a little house up near Spring lake." "A mother in a little house up near Spring Lake? Well, we must see my mother--first--" There she was in the doorway, ending ber little old voice, fluty with the years, out Into the Jam of the traffic: "Polper--Evening Woild--Telegram --Sun and Post--** "Mamma--this is my friend--Mr. Evans--we're on our way out for a bite of supper--" "Well, If it Isn't young i^vaitt, You managed It, did you?" "He--what--?" "Here's a young fellow's been pestering me to fix It for him to meet you every time he seen you calling for me evenings on his way home from the law library and 1 told him to shuffle for himself." "You mean--?" *1 got myself a Job In the ofllce where she works. That's what I^call shuffling for myself, Aunt Em." "Why--you--why, you darling," said Wenda and looked at him with her young moon of a face. "You're a darling yourself," said Laddie "You're both darlings," said Aunt Em.

In former days many of the feathers worn by women represented ruthless, slaughter of useful and beautiful birds, but such a sentiment was worked up In opposition to this that feathers went entirely out of fashion. Now, however, these millinery decorations originate with the barnyard fowls which have also decorated the dining table. Many ingenious processes have been devised for securing the brilliant Effect called for, and no birds have been sacrificed merely to supply the feathers for milady's hat.
