This question has been so repeatedly asked since
the death of OF its inmates was noticed in The
Tribune. that al answer seems requisite.
About year since house was taken by the Fe.
male Department of the Prison Association, for the
reception Of such discharged female convicts as
manifested disposition to reform. While there
they are comfortably clothed and fed and constant
ly employed until places procured for them.
Several have been TO the country and doing
well. One of these has been married to respecta-
BILE workman on the farm where she lived If sick
ness incapacity 10 do the work, or any sufficient
reason induces them to leave their places, the Home
is again open TO them, where lin slight ndispos-
ons they taken of suitable situations
are provided It speaks we'll for the benevoence OF the
community, tina. SO many are willing to try them.
There Ia enc advantage in taking domestcs from the
Home No one ia recommended without fair trial, and
no deception prac,iced get them off. That they
have full appreciation Of the kindness they receive in
the Institution is manifested By their frequently
planning OF homs.sickRess Leaving It, Until the warm
