# old Granny Hi1lyer for instants,
would agree to GO to the poor
farm and end her days where she
would be took care of for nothing
instead Of depending on her neigh
bors for her living and being so
partickler and independent as a
hog on ice into the bargain, that
would be charity. Charity IS do
ing something for somebody else
who amt able to do It for them
selves. There IS another illustra-
ton Of what charity is in the Bible
where that teller was sick and
lame and laying by the road side
and hollering for help and Z Re-
publican come along and passed
him by on the other side and didn t
help him none, but by and by
there was a Democrat passed by
and bandaged him Up and give
him 2 drink and done all he could
for him. That's charity. The
Bible also says that Of faith and
|hope and charity the greatest Of
these is charity.
| It would be Z, good thing for
Blngvll1e if there was q little more
charity in our midst. At present
there isn't none SO far as we can
Isee. Or + there be any it's so
Iscai-ce that you can't scarcely
notice it with the naked eye. Some

into Hen Weathersby's to buy a

out that Mrs. Sims heart was sci

Whenever the muckrackers run
out of material there Is always the
immortality of servant girls to fall
back upon. Articles have been pub
lished recently which declared that
at least 80 per cent of the inhabi.
tants Of the red-light districts were
recruited from their ranks. The
Florence Crittenton homes trail along
next with gloomy announcements
that from 60 to 70 per cent of the
unfortunate girls whom they shelter
are domestics.
And so the domestic help problem
grows farther from solution, for re-
fined girls. reading these alarming
statistics, refuse to enter q vocation
whose members are said to be SO
universally immoral.
IL Is refreshing to learn that in
one city at least things are not so
bad as they have been painted And
they are probably not all bad In
many of the cities where muckrakers
forgot to inform themselves as TO
true conditions before writing their
crimson screeds.
A police Investigation In Detroit
revealed that not more than two or
three per cent OF the girls in the un.
derworld had ever been domestics.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1911-08-09

Some came from factories and shops,
but tho majority had never worked
at all
The dolorous report of the Flor
ence Crittenton home was also inves-
tigated. In this particular home the
manager reported that 65 per cent
Of its unfortunate girls were domes-
tics. An awful state of affairs,
thought everyone, until IL was learn.
ed that the home had only cared
for $3.50 women during the year; that
large number of them were mar.
ried women who went there for con.
finement because the expenses were
low: that others were convalescnts
from hospitals and that the actual
number of servant girls cared for
was very small when compared with
the number Of servants in city the
size Of Detroit.
II the actual conditions In every
large city were revealed a like state
OF affairs would undoubtedly be
shown to exist. And as result the
standard of domestic help would be
raised. AS II Is now, many good girls
shrink from entering domestic ser.
vice, and those who are In are made
to feel the stigma until their work
suffers as a consequence.

She Is Motherlessl
BY KATHERINE LEckE.

She parted with her "woman's
GROWING glory 10 gain freedom.
She Is only a very little woman, a
child OF IA, but the feminine love
OF admiration begins early. II doubt
less TOOK grim courage, perhaps
even secret sullen anger, TO give the
ugly clash OF the sharp shears that
severed the first long brown lock
from the head OF little Helen Nc
Bride.
The city where Helen lives mat
tiers little. The story OF the child
Is one that Is too often heard In the
great rushing. hustling cities OF our
broad. free land. But Il IL not every
child that has the COURAGE TO despoil
her fairness in her effort to be free.
The child Is motherless. She lives
In an institution, That is all that
needs TO be said to any heart that
throbs with sympathy.
There was to be a picnic, gay.
happy, long day spent out In the
green woods meath cloudless blue
skies. The boys and girls of the In
stitution were to have free hours far
from the combining walls of their in
stitutional home.
One OF the duties OF Helen Is to
care for the babies of the institution
al nursery. II was all we'll enough
TO look after ones own little broth
ers and sisters when ones own true
mother assures you that you are
helping" her. But poor little Helen
had not grown TO the universal spir-
II. She does. not know that all the
babies in the world are her wee
brothers and sisters, that the univer-
sal love should make her want 70
do for them as for her very own.
So the day before the wonderful pic
mic, her mind would wander to all
the mysteries that the next day held
for her. II wandered so persistently
that she neglected the babies, poor
child. and for punishment the insti.
tuuonal friends decided that the hap.
py day in the woods must be denied
her.
Now, ones own mother would have
put her tender, loving arms about
the child and softly told her that the
future day would be as naught IL
the duties of the moment were neg
lected. But Helen is motherless and
the institution believed she must be
disciplined.
When the picnic day dawned Helen
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1911-08-09

was sullen and silent. She could not
wish her playmates happy day In
the country. All her thoughts were
OF her own small wrongs. She de-
eided that she must run from the i'm
stitution. must go far out IN the big
wide world and make her way.
Then, poor little girl she thought.
as many an older woman has. that
her sex was against her. She bor-
rowed boys clothing from the closet
in the boys ward, hurriedly donned
them and then she shorn OF her pref.
~ girlish head her long thick tresses.
But even the outward and visible
signs of mans emancipation did not
avail her. AS the child shyly slipped
down the. street an officer or the po-
lice detected the girlish figure and
Helen was brought back TO further
punishment for the new and addition
al sin.
Any child that is motherless is TO
be pitied
Even a bad mother is better than
an institution.
II Is to be hoped that the institli-
tional friends Will perceive that
Helen Is a girl worthy of tender care
and thoughtful rove.
A girl that Is brave enough to part
with that which the masculine ages
have always considered her greatest
beauty, and who realizes, at the i'm
mature age of IA, that when her time
comes to go In the wide world, she
Is handicapped, Is worth loving. She
is girl of character and action
Kindness, sunshine, understanding,
fact, love should save her.

there Is only one manufacturer OF
