Lack of Address Troublesome.
zone of the great troubles We have to
contend against is the Indebtedness Of
many Of the addresses OF the friends the
imrNlgrants expect to meet Often they
haven't heard for years from the relatives
or friend they depend on to get them into
the country.
Now. those two girls over there holding
each others hands are sisters. They are
minors and have come over to live with an
elder brother.
ut took us weeks and weeks TO trace that
man. The last address they had was from
the upper part OF this state. That was
three years ago.
only a few days ago we succeeded in
getting trace OF him. He Is now In Texas
is apparently successful and Is coming on
to meet the two girls. SO their case, 1
hope, is settled.
ARE we sure he IL their brother? Yes.

story OF an Armenian Girl.
Last summer there was young Arme-
MAN, really beautiful young girl She had
been engaged to a young man ever since
she was II. She had lived in his mothers
house and he, coming 20 this country, soon
/ after their engagement had sent back
money resuiarly for her support
she was IS and she was coming over here
to be married. The young man was a
generous fellow and he insisted that she
should first spend a few weeks with q
cousin OF his who had married an Amer
lean woman and lived in Chicago.
she wasSuoh a child when they became
| engaged he said. that he wanted her &c
see and know him TO make sure that sh,
could love him. He had no doubt about
his own feelings. He had had her photo,
graphs from time to time and knew just
what she would be like.
THE girl came over under the escort OF q
young boy cousin who had been in THU
country before l wish you could have
seen them when they FIRST caught sight Of
the lover
THE boy saw him hrst and called IN,
girls attention to him. She looked. her fac,

her head on the boys shoulder and refuses

Then, in steps the girls father, an old
reprobate that hadn't been heard from in
years. He had abandoned his wife and
child when the girl was a baby. She was
under age and he steps in now and claims
her.
Did he get herr Oh, no. But she had
to be married before leaving the island. 1t
was either that or deportation.
Yes while l believe they would have
been married In the course Of few weeks,
think Of the delicacy and care OF that young
man and how at the last minute 1t ali had
to be thrown away to protect the girl from
her own father!
Experience of an English Woman.
An English woman left last week who
was with us for about two months. She
had lived in America for several years and
went home to visit her mother While in
England a sister died and the woman On
returning brought one OF the dead sisters
children with her. ~
The child was III when the ship arrived
and had to be taken to the hospital The
woman's husband and children came over
from their home IN Pennsylvania to meet
her butt there was no going home fer her
OF course. we were not going TO allow her
to leave the sick child here alone.
1T was pretty hard for her to see her
husband and children go back home with
out her. Finally, however, one OF the mis-
slonAries became interested in her case
They asked for her 70 be paroled and al
lowed to 60 to the Immigrant Girls home
IN New York After being there for a day

her 70 visit her family. Last week she was

Each table was covered by a spotless

was a gigantic slice OF graham bread and
a huge piece Of apple pie.
