About ak months ago some Of the best
Of the society women Of New York got
together with the idea uppsrmost to i'm.
prove the condition OF the working girls
Of tho metropolis.
These ladies Of the upper ten. realised
that the worp.-s OF the lower Ave would
accept no charity. They didn't intend
that they should. The idea was 10 make
the girls save. put their money away
where they could Get II when they were
ready to 10 on their vacation. The
working girls could not put much mono
away for the double reason that they
weren't earning o great deal and that
they were working during banking
hours.
At the head Of this movement 10 Aiiss

the lady to herald her as the daughter

yised and carried out the plan OF last
night. She went behind the scenes Of
Barnum 4 Bsiley's circus on Thursday
morning. AMI Il occurred to her that
Il would be 4 very good plan to have
the Royal Mikado group exploit the vir.
tues OF the jiu.jitsu for the benent OF
the girls.
The nrst thing on the programme was

Then on came the jiu-jitsu bunch.

They were all there with tho sVods.

maybe they didn't. But the women
