The effect seemed entirely satisfactory, Betty, sighed ecstatically. “ I look like a million dollars," she breathed. "I—I can almost convince myself that I am a great lady tonight." Carefully her silver-slippered feet descended the narrow stairs. Shej must get away as quickly as pos-j sible. What would the unromantic j Mr. and Mrs. James Barstow say, if they saw the Cinderella of their: kitchen arrayed in garments like! these? Betty chuckled at th e1 .thought. They would think she had gone crazy if they found out that she. had spent a whole month’s ’ salary to rent the things she was wearing, and .to buy a ticket for the opera. "But they never will find out," she told herself, as she care­ fully .closed, the back door behind, fieri . . i At the corner, she waited for a 1 cab.

She told her.self it . must be the. Christmas feeling in the air that made Iter do this daring thing. It was utterly ridiculous to dress up like a great lady, .bn* An« iind in be different at CHrlstmhs, And life had been pretty dull for Betty since'she had to ac­ cept the work she was doing. It of­ fered very little inspiration. The story of the opera took her back to a medieval world, In a few moments she was completely lost in its atmosphere, so much so that she failed to notice that the man seate'd at her right was sending ad­ miring glances in her direction. When the curtain went up, he leaned over and spoke. "J love this," he said simply. “ I do, too,” Betty answered, with a little catch in her voice. It seemed incredible that he was speaking to her. He was really acting as if she belonged. By the time the curtain went up again they were calling each other Prince and Princess: taking the names of the two leading characters on the stage. As the great drama moved to its close Betty tried to hurry away. She didn’t want her Prince to find out what" an impostor she was. But he had. taken hold of her arm. "Couldn’ t we go and have some -cof­ fee?” he suggested. " I know I’m a stranger to you, but—but it’ s Christmas—and—’ ’ > "I should say ’no’ ,’ ’ Betty told herself. “ I should even tell him the truth about myself.’’ Instead, she accompanied him to the coffee- • shop across the street’.. She couldn’t deny herself this one hour of happi­ ness, After it was over, well—Bet­ ty would not let. her thoughts go fur­ ther. • She almost forgot that she" was playing a part as they, sat together. They seemed to have so much in common. He had read widely—the type of books she-liked; he took an intevest in so many things she- liked ; * seemed to be as romantic and visionary as herself. But he spoke’ no word to indicate that he wanted to see her again. She had befen -foolish to expect it. Gloom enveloped the world for Betty next morning. As if to add to her humiliation and misery, a clogged-up drain was. sending oozy brown water back into the sink. Her feet dragged across the floor as she answered the plumber’s knock. Then -the world spun dizzily around her for a moment. A rush of joy, of wonder, lifted her heart. Her Prince was standing in the doorway, his evening clothes re­ placed' by clean blue overalls, his ■good-looking.face wrinkled in bewil­ derment. "I—I . thought you were—” hfe stammered. », •' “ And IjsrI thought you were—” Betty gasped in answer. . When explanations were over, a make-believe Prince and Princess were wondering if Christmas wasn’t •the very nicest time-for.a wedding ceremony. Sv-WNU Service.

PENNEY GQ Xenia, Ohio (This is the second of « series o f articles prepared by members o f Greene County Bureau o f Public As­ sistance in which the aims, accomplish­ ments, and progress of. the publie as­ sistance program in the county are outlined. In this article a-comparison is drawn between the current aid to dependent children’s program and the ()Jd Mother’s'Pension plan).’ Since the start o f its operations two and one-half years ago, Ohio's Social Security program for dependent chil­ dren, which, took the place o f the Mother’s Pension plan,’ has succeeded in bringing to many children the se­ curity which is often associated with home life. For centuries there has existed some form of public relief. However, it remained for the coming of the twentieth century to bring with it more direct thought to the welfare of children. ', . ■ I In 11)09 President Theodore Roose-] veil invited to the White House a 1 group o f welfare-minded persons forj' a discussion o f child welfare. From the conference now widely known as “ The Conference’.’ came the thought that the best care a child could receive was in the family group*jvhere he had a feeling of belonging. Out o f this discussion gradually grew the Mother’s Pension plan which Ohio in 1913 adopted. However,, in the plan there .were no uniform provisions and placed practically all of the burden of financing this program upon the shoulders of the individual counties. It was only natural that the pro­ gram varied to a large extent, the care and treatment being given to de­ pendent children largely depending upon the trength o f the finances in the county in which liyed. In some counties of the state, under the ■Mother’s Pension system, grants as low as 50 cents a month were... given for the care of a child while in the more prosperous counties grants ran as' high as $18 a month. The inequality in the care and treat­ ment of those children, whose welfare largely rested : upon . the . financial status of their particular county led to the incorporation within the.. Social Security Act of a'section designed to provide more, substantial aid' to de­ pendent children. ' . . Today in Greene County, 176 de­ pendent children coming from 56 families in the county are' being help- id. .They are youngsters, deprived of -Hp support of their wage-earning parents, who have been kept in their awn homes, or .with blood relatives. The fact that they have not been east aside and left, to "shift for them­ selves” arid are being given the' care at their mother’s hands’ or the atten­ tion, of their Own relatives will un­ doubtedly be a lai-ge fuctor in deter­ mining the kind of citizens they will make in later life, . r. Under, the old Mother’s Pension, many mothers because of inadequate ants could not give their children tiie needed care because the mothers >ve'i e' away -from their homes much of the time in quest of employment- to ‘ make ends meet." Without care, children wandered aimlessly through­ out ,the day often coming into contact with factors which led-to delinquency. .Under the current program the in­ creased' grants to care for dependent children have permitted more mothers j to stay in their homes and care, for J their children, a full-time job for the average mother. I In many instances, the present aid to dependent children’s program has helped to curtail juvenile delinquency. In most rises the unhappy child was the unfed and ill-clothed youngster who presented problems to the author­ ities dealing with deliquents. The Greene County dependent chil­ dren’s program through the. funds made available by county, state, and federal sources is attempting to meet the problem arising out o f dependency. Throughout the county there are numerous examples o f happy chil­ dren who only two ’ 'ears back were unhappy youngsters, lacking care and affection. In the two and one-half years of its operations, the program has brought about" u new life for many children Who turned to the program for aid through no fault of their \>wn.
