FOR GIRLS
A BIG, BARE HOME
Sisters of st. JOseph's Orphan
age Delay School Work Un=
til All Assemble

Through some miscarriage OF plans
the orphans from Santa Barbara and
Los Angeles did not arrive TO join their
little companions at the Mount St Jo-
sepRs asylum yesterday as was ex-
pect, but it is believed that they will
reach here Saturday morning.
When the orphanage on the hilltop
at South san Francisco burned little
over a month ago and the 400 children
were rendered homeless groups of them
were sent to various southern cities. and
towns of the state. All but $50 have re-
turned to orphanage in its temporary
home at Franklin and Ellis streets, and
the sisters are particularly anxious TO
have the entire flock together once
more. as many things have been de-
layed on their account.
SCHOOL WORK DELAYED
1t was hoped that school might begin
this week. but the sisters realized the
difficulty of starting without the fuil
number of pupils and being compelled
to bring the standard of scholarship up
with all of them later. so the opening
has been delayed until Monday. The
girls are slowly adjusting themselves
to changed conditions in the big bare
home, and each day more furnishings
and conveniences are added.
