Thoughtless Parenthood is Society's Crime By ADA PATTERSON. New York, city It Is hard to interest, still harder to excite and almost impos sible to shock, has been shocked Indeed.

The ' parents said they abandoned thena because they had found it im possible to support ' them.

And, as usual, when we hasard an opinion growing but of little knowledge of the subject most of the guesaers and theor lsta . ana uiey who condemned were wrong.- I spent an hour In the old Tombs prison sitting beside the strange young mother. hearing the story as It came from her heart and limited understanding. And during those sixty minutes, ticked away by the prison's clock. 1 gathered these truths. ;.',,' That we would all act differently In given circumstance did we but know. If We but knew. "When I found that my husband could only get work now and then or not at all and everything looked so black. I went to a newspaper that was trying to keep some families together, but they said they had all thoy could take, care of for month. And I didn't know where to go,"- she said. "Then I took the children to a day nursey, but they would only keep them for one day. That was because we weren't of the , same religion. I didn't know where , to. go. And my husband didn't know.' There were many avenuea of helpful ness In the city had she but known, or had she but known enough to Inquire, or had known where to Inquire. A few re buffs from careless, hurrying passersby, and' she gave up. She didn't know. "My oldest boy wanted everything he saw other boys have. He used to ask this and that .until I was nearly crazy.

There again was one qf the causes that led to, a crime that shocked a crime ac customed city. The lack of self discipline and home discipline. The lack of teach' ing a child that what we enjoy we must earn. The lack of teaching a child to earn by work and saving. "My mother said she never wanted me to have any thought about money or to know any trouble. It was time enough after I was married," she said. I wish we have all at some moment expressed, and yet uttered by that young woman prisoner how terribly false and super ficial It seemed. Even a child should learn what responsibility la and gnw through bearing tts weight as an Italian woman straightens her spine by bearing great baskets upon her head. '."Did you think of trying to get some work so that you might help your child ren!" I. asked. ."I had never learned to do any but housework. I tried to get it. but It was no use. . There again a mistake, an error of so ciety. 'Another case to point the truth the truth that every girt should bave a training of livelihood. Had this girt known something of the Institutions In the city of her adoption, for she was not a New York, but a Philadelphia product; had she been taught to save and earn money; the pair against whom the cry.

Chlvalrv in not Sir Waller Raleigh spreading his velvet closk over a puddle that Qneen Bess may pass ury-snoa, chivalry is not a knight in armor fighting all other knights to prove the superior charm of a lady who has tied a bluo scarf to his srm. Chlvslry is the spirit close within ones self that makes one. think kindly of people and refrain even In the inmost places of one's own mind . from criticising or disparaging. Chivalry is never showy at the expense of others.

There was no chivalry In the condescension that offered cheap ad vice, although two women thought the man very fine not to be ashamed to be seen talking to the poor, shabby creature. A passing wagon driver threw his reins . . about the wblpstock and, cap on the back of his head and cigarette drooping from his lips, went to the aid. of the, women.

"You're a good man," she aatd, and there wss a blessing in her tone. 'Kindness and gratitude actual prac tical kindness snd definitely expressed gratitude.

Gilbert Blye suavely approached June. and-Mrs. Vlllard went into an adjoining office to talk with Mr. Plcknam.

He had a photo of it with htm. She gasped In amasement and re fused it Then Cunningham drew out a check book and asked her how much money she needed. June's checks paled.

"I'm going"' June suddenly decided. The Iron man bowed. There was no glint in his metsllic rye, no smite on his unbending lips-. June, followed by Mrs. Villsrd. sailed through the msg;iiflent ruiepiion rojun and into the hall. Blye and his com-1 paniona followed them. At that moment Ned Warner's taxlcab drew up in front of the' Bond Securities building, and close behind it rsms the electric, of Honoria Blye. that lady driv ing it herself, bolt upright.' June darted Into the first elevator, and her pursuers crowded in after her. Mra. Vlllard put an arm around June In a cor ner of the elevator, and there were tears in . her eyes as she talked ' to the dis tracted girl. It was that which brought sympathy to June. It was her greatest weakness, sympathy, and by the time they reached the ground floor, she half consented to -return to Plnknam's with Mn. Vlllard. She would not talk to the others, however, and they very . wisely held their peace. As they emerged on the main floor, however, Cunningham turned to her with twinkling Joviality In his eyes and, lean ing over, whispered something Into her ear Just aa she was about to step Into the adjoining upward bound elevator. At that Instant Ned Warner strode Into the rotunda, closely' folleowed by Honoria Blye. He saw bis beautiful 'bride In the company of the - black Vandyked ' man, who was watching her with that suave smile upon his dark, handsome face, while a debonair white rnustarhed man bent over ber familiarly and whispered in her ear. He saw June Tush; he saw her step back; then the lady with her drew her into the elvator. Blye and the others crowded after her. and 'as Ned raced vengefully through the corridor, with the shrieking Honoria 'behind him. the door closed with a bang, and the car shot upward. ' Tliey runhed into the . next ear, Ned Mack browed and allerit. and the-shrill iionoria jabbering Incessantly. The tar Imd aiarcrly started to move when a sudtien Idea came to Kcd, and lie turned to 'Mra Blye with the first words he had spoken to her. "We , might miss them,"', he .snapped. "They may have seen us and not go to the office you named. I'll go back down and wait." ' .As they left the elevator at the elev enth floor the door of a down car clang ed. If Ned had got out at the .first stop, which wss the ninth floor, he would have caught that down car. But more than tbat. He would have come face to face with June and the one person whom of all the people In this world he, most longed to meet, Gilbert Blye. (To Be Continued Tomorrow.)
