THE GIRLS

New York. June 1.-THE district at
torney's investigation into the charges OF
cruelty made by Annie Milan. a former
inmate. against the management OF the
House OF the Holy Family, No 1S6 Second
avenue. has brought to Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Hart several letters from
former inmates Of the place bearing out
the girls story.
He has taken the affidavits OF several
OF the writer's. in addition to the tes-
timony OF Annie Milan's mother and
brother, and win take action in few
days, but in what form he would not say.
The House OF the Holy Family Is an In

received at the institution. No one has
been rejected where there was a possible
chance for Improvement.

Patients suffering from this disease are
as a rule, very nervous, and highly sem

DIVISION or LABOR.

One Miss Mary Vida Clark, speak
ing at the annual meeting OF the Uni
versalist woman's alliance Of New
York, delivered herself Of the sage
dictum the other day that:
Every unmarried man ana woman
should adopt a baby"
Miss Clark thinks this would be an
excellent remedy for selfshness,
which is supposed to become a part Of
the old bachelor and old maid nature.
Miss Clark says she has friend. a
spinster, who has adopted seven
babies in this manner, and has had
eminent success with all of them ;
but disclaims any purely personal ex-
perlence.
While we opine that It would be
much better for the old bachelors and
the old maids to adopt one another,
thus greatly lesseDing the probability
that they would need to adopt the
babies Of other folks, there is yet
much to commend Miss Clark's idea
There would be at least kind Of
poetic justice in It. For It is well
known that most Of the beautiful
theories for the management and up
bringing Of children emanate from
the enthusiastic inexperience Of the
spinster. Bachelors, too, generally
have settled ideas Of their own about
the correct manner in which to teach
the young idea how to shoot And all
the world must admit that parents
are very slow in taking advice con
ceining the management Of children.
It has always seemed a pity that the
wisdom Of the bachelor and the old
maid should all SO to waste because
of the lack of babies upon which 10
apply II. SO II the married folks
who are wiling to furnish the child
rem can cnly be led to share the
with the bachelors and
spinsters who know all about how to
bring them up. these difficulties viii
be put in the has-been column at one
stroke We approve Of the idea and
anxlously await Miss Clarks an
that she has worked out
all the details OF the scheme.
