THE men and women who have no

responsibilities upon their young shout
ders. who have been dragged away from
the schoolroom TO take their part in the
battle OF life Theirs is hard life in
many cases, and they need all the aid and
the cheer which can be given them.
Many of these girls are the daughters
of gentle folk. with the instinct for bet
ter things. How many will be strong
enough TO survive their environment-to
keep their heritage of breed-to with
stand the pressure of lowering comnan-
ionship which sometimes they cannot
avoid?

their minds. II wants every girl thar
