In the course Of her work, Mrs Gladstone
discovered that poor parents found 1t more
difficult to provide for and manage their boys
than their girls. SO the Hawarden orphanage
has come to be filed by boys. They 20 to the
parish schools till they are old enough to be
apprenticed to trades. There is now a whole

About 1850 Il home for training young girls
for service opened ut Noting Hill, Lon
don, under the management of Il committee
OF ladies. The OBJECT OF the home to
take girls under its protection who had bad
homes and were therefore likely 10 be totally
and vice. Mrs. Gladstone asked to be-
come the president which she did. 1t is on n
the kind of work it does; only fifteen girls
there at one time. few lady boarders
are taken in and this works well for train
ing the girls In the various branches of do
site service.
The proud characteristic of the home Is
its determination never to despair OF any girl,
however discouraging she may be in her first
trial Of service. The reward seems great
when Il girl who has been unsuccessful In
several places at last finds a mistress who
understands her and draws ont the best in
her. when she receives praise as a good ser
want instead of the fault-fnding hitherto her
portion. There Sre now numbers of respec-
table, well-doins servants VINO have been
trained here.
Mrs. Gladstone gives the girls who are in
service an ;unuai treat every summer down
at the cOnValpScent home nj " OOdiOrd. Last
June a party of them enjoyed lunch and tea
on the lawn there, under the shadow of
rare kind Of sycamore which Mrs. Gladstone
had brought in flower not little seed
ling from an Old tree which spreads its am
pie branches close 70 her 0rnh2naGe at Ia. Iia-
warden. Mrs. Gladstone told the girls That
when she planted it she never thought 10
live so long as to see it large enough TO
shelter party on forty under the shadow
of its leaves.
BESIDES the works of usefulness and kind
ness I have described. Mrs. Gladstone has
had q hand in setting a-going many others.
She was in that carly band who started peni
Tertiary work at Clever before it took shape
under Mrs. Monsel's management That must
have been soon after her marriage. To that
early time. TOO. belong the beginnings OF the
house OF charity for distressed persons in
London. which is carried on at Soho, and re-
ioiceS in it's fOrty-SXth annual report. Its
aim is to help persons not altogether Of the
rary distress from sickness or other yiciSsI-
tudes It is quite free but those who come
must bring letter Of recommendation from
someone who knows them, and this has to be
is home for every kind of friendlessness and
dcsttdto which is NOT the manifest effect OF
vice or idlonoSS.
| think it would he impossible to enumerate
all the various schemes for the relief Of human
suffering to which Mrs Gladstone has lent
and as for her private kindneSSeS the friends
who love her like to dwell on them, and on
the way she faithfully sticks TO those who
need her aid for years and years, until she
sees them fairly out Of the woods
