All Of the girls bore up bravely until
when they were seated in the carriage
and the train having whistled they

Treatment Of EInigrants.
Aboard the passenger steamers today
the treatment Of these eTnigrant boys
and girls is not yet everything it should
be This IS more marked in the case Of
girls toward whom stewardesses unit
to wipe their boots ais inSOlent and
harsh. / had the exquisite pleasure

within herself and SUNK away, And !
walked away happy.

more decency might easily be observed

they WIZ be able to % for the loved
ones at home that which, through al
their youth in poor Ireland, they have
dreamed Of; for all the young boys
and girls IN Ireland lock forward with
high hope and bounding heart to that
day when they sheA, in the land u The
