and their childrens children will keep up the
practice. Much cruelty is thus done children by
what seems kindness. Several old women are
begging One of them said, II can make three
times as much by begging as by working" A
family going West" has been week working

such persons should be referred to the Charity
Organization Society or the Friendly Inn.
