These ideas did not come overnight; but,

the Whtechapel district of London; and her
heart touched her eyes shamed. She had no
special thought of social work. she idly touring
Europe. That night, at curbstone auction sale of
decayed vegetables She saw starving man bid in for
a farthing stale cabbage; grab and devour it
and unwashed. That awful hand clutching at the
cabbage, those swapping teeth, were photographed
on her brain; and at times to this day the hand

hiding place in her brain and makes her shiver.

the bitter cry of London? Why not go her way
to the art galleries, dine at the big hotels, and let
Whtechapel and its horrors fade quickly away?
If you can answer that, you unriddle the
mystery of Jane Addams's personality; and possibly
you will also be able to tell, by the time you get
through, what love is. Gather all the documents
