Volunteers Make Decided Hit with
Rine-Temr-Old Lad Who
Needed Help
MOTHER IS FORCED TO WORK
Little Totnmle, aged , Just thinks
be has about the grandest home In
the world now.
Up to three days ago he llred with
his mother in a little room, and It

sometimes mother would cry.
Thm mother bundled Mm up one
tnnrnlns and brought htm to thli fin
p'sce bre he ta now. There's a great
Mir ro"m, and. upstair there ar many
tflomi and lta alw.jrs warm and every
Vody'a kind to htm and he a-oea to achool
and haa nlre warm red mlttena to wear

Iroiiblea" of their own.
Then ah remembered the Volunteere.

When ahe told her story to Mra. Mc

hands and get him ready for school.
And when he Isn't in achool he's explor
ing hla big grand horn, upstalra and
downstair.
And. then. In the evening hla mother
cornea home from work and they ay
goodbye and go to their' room for the
tolaht.
Tommle ta auch a nice, good, little
boy, aay the McCormlrka. that It la
really a pleaaure to have him there.
Tommle ha his dream, too. Bom
