this wealthy specialist" From first
to last the trial of this 17-year-old girl
has been a terrible demonstration Of
the pitiless plight of the poor and de-

first painful day when her story was
told in police court, was attended by
her younger sister, Hazel, and her
mother. The place was packed to the
doors with the usual tenderloin hab-
tues, always on the watch for en-
tertainment in police courts.
Mrs. Williams and the sister, as wit
nesses to bo later introduced, were ex-

the leering officials, and the insulting
lawyers of the rich physician. Her plight
was discovered by Miss Ray Walfsohn.

told of her shame, to be at last forced

than the tiny affair which tailors use
to fasten skirt openings. The button
