the attention of the society in one way or an
other being the usual allotment.
After ten minutes work with street dirac-
tory the visitor has arranged her work. Then
she reads any reports which may be on file re-
garding the cases which are to be investigated.
The first case, for instance IS that Of a family
which assisted last winter and has again
become destitute. She must find the reason for
this backsiding and whether or not there is
real suffering. When she reaches the house she
asks why William. the son, is work how
the husband lost his job. what keeps him from
getting another, and dozens Of other questions.

has nephew bricklayer. who makes 81 a

The revising barrister declined to ac-

manded conclusive testimony on the
point.
Thereupon the agent of the other
side rose and gave corroborative evil

man in question.
