...accused the PWA of lowering the purchasing power of the nation and being too slow for effective relief. Nor was he more optimistic concerning the new public works program. "At best" he said.

Life treats them roughly, and more than one of them has had to cope with the burden of bearing an illegitimate child. But they are never defiled by pitch; they always sin through kindness or trustfulness; they ultimately marry. They improve their minds by studying French, Italian, music, cooking. Model girls, they are just what Mrs. Norris' large, enthusiastic audience of older women, young stenographers, people of circumscribed life...
