David Willard of New York gave
an extremely interesting talk before
the Woman s club Wednesday after
noon on Life and Work on the Bowery.
Many were disappointed that Mr.. VIII

turn and tell of his individual
work among criminal boys on the Bow
cry. His stories Of the boys who are
baptized in the name of the tenement,
the saloon and the street were most
" humorous ones but through it all
could he detected the sordidness in the
life of these Youngsters who "never
get chance" Preceding Mr.. Will
lard s talk Fred C. Adams gave two
solos which were greatly enjoyed.
