marks by saying that for % or 20 years
this had been her dream of life. She
said that she did not want It under
stood that any other years were to be
added on the 20 years, but that It was
just 20 years, that's all. "At any

when the neglected children those
neglected by parents whose vocations
take them away from home early in
the morning and keep them until late
at night, could be looked after, fed
and given the necessary training"

many obstacles and little encourage
ment from the public at large, had
come from carefully laid plans to be
reality.

Charity" but was not present. Mrs.

on, and can, from day to day, see
some fruit being borne from my Ia
bor." 1--WE have" said Mrs. Love- "the
best superintendent that could be Sc
lected for the place. He is kind, con-

with oratorical powers, soon had
charge Of her audience. She said that
the chairman had stated that hers
would be the last "set speech" She
wished to correct this, stating that she
had no "set speech" and that her "set
speech" If she had any, would be like
the little boy who was describing the
eagle, when he said the eagle scared,
and scared, and scared, and lit on

they were there, he was there and that
the Globe would herald their actions
to all of its readers.
