The society meets on the third Wednes-
day of every month.
Mrs. Berger says that since the organi-
cation started last August in the neigh
borhood of 23s applications had received
substantial aid of some sort and that 4se
people altogether had applied for aid.
Mrs. Berger spoke very kindly about
the large number of sailors who had APP
piled to her for aid. She did mot believe
ali the men were impostors as some one
had said" Everybody seems to have
soft spot In their heart for poor Jack
and Mrs. Berger Is not the exception
which proves the rule.
A labor bureau would not be amss in a
growing city like Honolulu. 1t might fill
a longfelt want.
Mrs. Berger has letter from teach
err asking for clothes They are for GER
now detained at home owing to being
without suitable and proper clothes IN
which to go to school. The central office
will engage to have made over to mt the
tiny wearers any clothes sent.
The quarters of the central organiza-
ton are centrally located but are far
from being imposing. Nevertheless an
immensely of work is transacted there and
through its far-reaching arm large sums
of money are being saved individuals and
societies through its quiet system of ex-
eCutive order
One may walk from one end OF Honolulu
to another, by day or night, and never
beggar sits on the curbstone grinding
out melancholy airs from a wheezy hand
organ or extends the hand of charity.
Can as much be said of any other wealthy
and prosperous city of its size7
