A GOOD WOMAN
Three Cold Shabby Little
Children Arouse the
Sympathy Of a
Stylish Woman
in a Car.


Three shabbily and thinly dressed chill
dren, two girls and boy, ranging in ages
from three to seven years, boarded a
Grove street trolley car, south bound, at
Eighteenth street. Their bare hands
We're nearly frozen. They were crying
from the effects of the cold and tears
We're streaming down their cheeks.
The smallest one had a tattered brown
veil about its face and head, but it had
become loose from its fastening. The
eldest one had one fare. The two others
We're not expected to pay on account of
their age. The conductor ordered some
of the passengers to make room for the
children on seat. He hesitated about
accepting the fare proffered by the eldest
one, when stylishly dressed woman
who sat near the smallest one paid the
fare, and despite her rich dress she took
the little one in her lap, readjusted its
veil and chafed its little hands in an eff
fort to warm them. The eldest one said
they wanted to get off at Eighth street
AS they were leaving the car the stylish
ly dressed woman handed the older girl
a handful of silver and told her to buy
mittens for all three.
