O'Brien has donated his services as
physician. The home was established
in tiny house on Summit place, but
last month the ladies purchased the
Lincoln avenue house at a cost of
$4,000. Nearly half this amount has
been already raised. The home is sup
ported by voluntary contributions, and
is very glad of assistance of all kinds.
Chairs especially are needed. The home
is for all kinds of babies, babies of all
denominations, babies who have in
herited only poverty, and babies who
have inherited not even name. 1t is
not, however, charitable institution.
Each person who brings a child to the
home is expected to pay so month for
its board. If this is too large sum
less may be paid, but in every case
something is expected when possible.
Wednesday is public visiting day.
hursdaysthe mothers of children come
to see them. Friday morning the ex-
ecutive board meets, and children are
received into the home. The scenes
on receiving days are often pitiful
i'll the extreme. Helpless orphans
are brought to be cared for: fathers
bring their motherless little ones to this
kindly shelter; widows whose children
are membranes come to leave them
here; deserted wives and deserted

died, some have been taken away, and
there are now a bakers dozen left.
They are all boys, too, by the way, for
nearly all the people who adopt chill
dren want girls. The youngest is about
five weeks old, and the oldest nearly
nineteen months. Nearly all are
healthy looking, though most of them
are thin and poor when received. Little
Willie was thought to be dying two
weeks ago, but is now right bright and
well. One poor little mite was in a ter
rible condition from catarrh, but has
improved wonderfully. Little orphan
Jimmy Egan, who is nearly half year
old, and has been at the home five
months. is everybOdy's favorite. He is
a bright, pretty little chap, with
laudably, good-natured, albeit some
what maudlin smile. The children's
clothes have not the uniform look SO
usual in such institutions, for they are
donated. One lady has given the entire
wardrobe. with some beautiful toys,
that belonged to her dead child.
On the second Monday of May, the
annual meeting Of the executive board
will take place. The members cOmpos-
ing the board at present are Mrs. Cor
nlsh. who is president; Mrs. Vinton,
the secretary, and the treasurer. Mrs.
Otis. The managers of the Baby's

young girl named Anna Prokofyeff, then
sixteen years of age. and of remarkable
personal attractions. suddenly disap-
peared from her widowed mothers
house in this city. The most searching
inquiries were fruitlessly prosecuted bv
the police and by the friends of the
missing girl. whose mother died two
years ago in total ignorance of her
daughters fate.
1t now transpires that after her alb
ductiOn Anna Brokofyeff was secretly
carried to COnstantinople and eventu-
ally sold to a Salonica merchant, in
whose harem she has remained until
the recent death of her owner. From
intelligence now received here by
friends of the late Nine. Prokofyeff, it
would appear that Anna was from the
first treated with uniform kindness by
the Solonica merchant, who at his death
bequeathed to his favorite slave the
whole of his property. consisting of four
houses in Salonica, five trading schoon-
ers and 5000 Turkish pounds.
The fair legatee, now only in her
twenty-ifth year, and still possessing
her Remarkable youthful beauty scarcely
impaired, has placed her two boys under
the educational training of the Russian
monks Of Mount Athos, and to their
abbot she has presented one of her
schooners. She is now also converting
one OF her Salonica houses into Russo

women whose fingers have never felt
the touch of wedding ring, come to
find shelter for their babies. Some
times the babies are only boarders, and
sometimes they are given up entirely to
the home, and are left for adoption.
Then it is that wretched stories come to
light. Not long ago young mother,
hardly more than child in years, be-
trayed and deserted by the man who
should have cared for her with his life,
brought her child to the home. She was
the daughter of well-tO-do parents, and
when asked why she did not take the
child to them, her pale face flushed, and
III broken voice she said: 1T would
kill my mother to know of my disgrace.n
She left the child, and went to the far
West, where her story was unknown,
to begin life anew. Very encouraging
reports come of her. 1t would have been
impossible for her to earn an honest
living with the child, for while the
world forgiyeS anything and everything
in man, the mantle OF charity can never
be stretched to cover an erring woman
"a woman, too, who has fallen because
of the two most beautiful attributes of
womankind, love and faith.
Some very strange responses are re-
ceived in answer to requests for help
IOr The nome. One Han declared that
such an institution merely placed
premium on immortality. by providing
for the consequences. 1t has been the
experience of the ladies in charge, how
ever. that women whose children were
in the home have as a rule tried to lead
pure lives. The child was provided
for, and sure of what its mother
could not give it, home and
responsibility, and to nav IFS
board furnished an Incentive to honest
work. Some of tne letters received are
funny. OpS bachelor wrote: Il think

chance of holding their own; conse-
quently much attention is to be devoted
to their dainty and becoming incase-
ment.
Pointed toes will not go out, though
square toes will come in, a sensible com
promise by which two separate styles OF
feet can be suitably fitted. Boots will
be built higher than heretofore, and will
be laced inside the buttoning to secure
neatness of fit around the ankle. Shoes,
however, will be much more worn than
boots. Our climate is fatal in a short
time to the appearance of what are tech
nically known as fancy shoes for ont
door wear. The newest are made with a
high tongue over the instep.
A buckle, which may be as antique,
handsome, and as costly as possible, is
placed on strap which buttons across
below the instep. Other shoes are cut
quite low at the toe, and are secured to
the foot by single strap. With all
these, it is almost needless to add, the
prettiest and most delicate silk stock
ings will be worn to match the cos
tune.
