Betty and Her Daddy
It's two in the morning and the house is cold. Out of the darkness comes a cry—
"Daddy! Daddy! Oh, Daddy!"
And Daddy is up. He doesn't mind the cold if the little hand that pats him is warm.
That was ten years ago—happy, short years, working for the baby and her mother.
It is two in the morning again—and out of an awful darkness comes the cry—
"Daddy! Daddy! Oh, Daddy!"
But Daddy will never jump up again—and he does not know that Betty's hands are warm over his cold ones.
***
It's two years later, and the little cash balance is gone. Mother is a forewoman in an overall factory. Betty is a cash girl. She will be an uneducated woman. "Daddy" and Mother had planned college and a happy life for her.
The cash balance would have paid for an income for life for wife and daughter.
Go, story from life, and save other fathers from making the same economic mistake!
