Working girls in cities, who have to
swelter through the summer in one
stuffy room, would be fortunate in
deed If rich women generally adopted
a plan which Boston woman is pre-
pairing to put into practice for the
second time, She has autiful home,
and when she went to her country
house last year she offered five girls
the use of the city place, together with
board and the services of hercooks, for
four dollars II week each. Imagine the
delight, says Youths Companion, with
which they exchanged hall bedrooms
and cheap restaurants for large, airy
house and u perfectly appointed ta-
BILE! ~ think said one of the girls
at the end of three months, "that this
is the very first summer in my whole
life that | have fully enjoyed my
self" These were girls who would
have resented any kind of help that
savored of charity" but the gracious
deed that so carefully guarded their
independence and their self-respect
will be a happy, helpful memory all
their lives long. Country folk would
say that such an action was "neigh-
borly." Perhaps at a higher stage of
civilization people will see the truth
more clearly, and call it simply Chris
