Twenty-eighth SITS, from Ninth-ave. to Tenth-aVe.,

SPEAKS TO THEM AFFAIR OFF.
Mrs. Darlington Booth Never Sees Faces of
Some Prisoners

Several hundred women listened to a talk yester-
day "a Woman's Side of the Criminal Prob
lem by Mrs, Darlington Booth. at the Church Of
the Divine Paternity. Seventy sxth-st and Central

Mrs. Booth spoke effectively Of her work in
various prisons throughout the country, and OF the
benefcent results from the work OF the Volunteer
Prison League which seeks to lift the burden from
the stumbling feet Of those who tired of the old
nfe try TO reform.
There is one prison in this country" said the
speaker. where men are kept in solitary con-
fnement. and to these unfortunates speak. but
can never be seen. My words go down the long
corridors OF silence. and only as leave do hear
the faint echoes of applause and the words Come
again. little mother"
Other personal and pathetic experiences were re-
lated. which deeply interested the audience and
brought tears to many eyes. Mrs. Booth did not
dwell so much her work within the prison walls
the work done for the innocent families of
prisoners. for whom. she said, nothing but pity
and compassion can be felt. Children have been
clothed sick women watched over, rents paid, and
general care continued during the years of lonely
struggle.
Many crisp bills placed in the hands of
Mrs. Booth after the meeting to help in the Christ
work of the Volunteers. Mrs. Frank Oliver
Hall. wife of the pastor, was chairman of the days
Miss Estelle Harris, soprano, and Miss Cornelia w
Marvin contralto gave solos and duet, and the
social hour at luncheon closed one of the most
entertaining meetings of the Universalist Women's
Alliance of the Metropolitan District.
