A Sad Story
TT was only last year that little group of Amer

lean girl into French cemetery Not a nice story
to tell, perhaps; but would do wrong in telling
only the bright stories.
This little American girl-plucky, talented, ia
tally proud-had been told by patrons and friends
at home that money would be sent her after she
got here. And then they wrote her that this was
not possible and that, here, she could surely
manage some way
She did manage for time; managed" by living
for days soup bones, until the days came when
she had not money for even that
You say it was unnecessary?-that she could
have gone to our consul, to of the Amer
lean institutions of the Quarter?

know how many struggles she may have made how

American girl was being buried woman who has
