women looked at me coldy and without
curiosity. There was 4 certain tired and
pathetic look about them, look OF unin-
terest in everything about them. or in what
the future might have in store for them.
Neither of them responded to my salutation
and SO 1 proceeded to take my hat and
jacket off and then sat down on the floor to
play with the babies.
These little people. whose mothers were

being noticed or amused, and they crawled
up to me with various expressions of WON
dering expectency. TwOlittle girls of about

other in G. tremor of excitement at having
some one to talk TO, and running over with

WARNED AGAINST THE BABY
One of the babies that crept up to me I

He is very cross and wants every ones at

but soon discovered that every mother in
the place is more OF less jealous of every
other child than her own. Doubtless this
was natural, considering the low order of
intelligence OF the women and the nature
of the institution.
Seeing that couldn't play with the ba-
bies, l talked to the little girl, who chat

at work and her adopted mamma. Mrs.

Tradition has invested many parts of
Northeast Washington with dark and

Frequently, too, as is the case all over
the city, the available force is depleted by
sickness or men on leave, and two or three
