Boston Shop GirIs--A Statement
by a Boston Woman.
from the Boston Globe.

Many of the working girls thrown
out of employment by the fire have ap-
piled for assistance to Miss Collins, at
BOttin's Bower, and she has aided them
to the best of her ability, but is, of
course, unable to satisfy all their wants.
The case is growing desperate, many of
the girls being quite destitute, and Miss
Collins thinks of taking rather extra
ordinary measures of relief. Her az
gument for doing so runs in this way:
One year ago, when the cry of " Aid
for ChicagOr' was heard in our midst.
the working girls of this city subscribed
one days labor for the relief of the
sufferers. To-day thousands Of these
very girls are thrown out of employ
ment by the fire, and, worse still, MANY
of them who formerly tended in res
tarrants have lost their clothing and
are utterly homeless.
A relief committee elaborately divi-
ded into subcommittee has been or
ganized i'll Boston, but as yet no par
ticular result of their lahorS has become
evident, Aid has been offered by 9TH
er cities. but it is said that this is to be
refused, on the ground Sthat it is not
needed. This may be true; it may be
that Boston is perfectly competent to
SCC lLUtL GilC NC1LttIS OL JuCSc women,
but, if so, why have they been COM
PEELED to wait three days without re-
ceiving any offer of assistance They
are accustomed to help themselves, and
can hardly be expected to petition for
the charity which should be rendered
them as d right. There is no one with
in reach of the Boston daily papers who
does not know that these girls are out
of employment, and yet they are thus
neglected. Therefore, Miss Collins, IN
fluenced by the almost incessant success
employment the inaction of officials,
the tales of distress that she hears
daily and the quiet coolness with which
her repetitions of them are received,
thinks that perhaps it would be we'll
for the girls to ask the Chicago relief
committee to give them the assistance
which their own city has not bestowed.

the grand music so splendidly rendered

apparent enjoyment, the pair became
choruses:. "We all, like sheep, have gone

Next deep bass voice uttered, in the
most earnest tone: "We all, like sheep
