| opened a door on which the name
Miss Bartelme" was painted, and
entered a little room smelling of
strong varnish and new paint, Ii
was bare office with not thing
in it to suggest a place where those
who entered might leave all hope be-
hind.
Behind a cheap desk sat a little
woman in gray, whose brown hair
had only threads of silver here and.
there. Her face was rather care
worn, but in her eyes, as she lifted
them to me, was sympathy as wide
as want.
There is no baiif in Judge
Bartelme's court and there is no bar
at which the girl prisoner must
stand. Neither can you see through
the window the bridge of esighs.
nor thank God! a row of darkened
cells.
There is just the desk behind which
sits a woman with a face at times
sometimes Judge" and sometimes
just mother"
On her left is a young woman who
takes down the proceedings, and on
her right is a young woman clerk
who keeps in touch with the points
regarding each girls case There IS
not a man in the room-for this is
the first "woman's only" court room
in all America,

things when door from the hallI
opened and behind woman proba
ton officer there came a frail, hunt |
ed-looking girl of is or so. She held
in. her arms a bundle-oh, SO tightly,
With her was a strong faced, eapa-
ble-looking older woman. The officer
in charge said.
We wish this case dismissed. The
man has been ordered to pay "a GER
tain sum of money each month"
II will take care of my daughter,
added the older woman.
Miss Barteme turned her eyes to-
ward the pale girl with smile so
winning that the girl leaned forward
and laid the bundle on the desk be-
fore the judge.
Don't you want to see my baby"
and there was note OF pride as
well as love in her voice.
'Of course | do" answered Miss
Bartelme, and she picked up The lit
tie red mite and held it for a mo-
ment. The girl looked into her face
half fearfully, half wistfully and
drew long sigh of relief as the
judge became Just woman and
bent and kissed the tiny. rose-leaf
fingers.

feline, and the door closed behind
them.

Bartelme is successful in conducting

BY MARY M. BARTELME

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 10
Girs-the great rank and file of our
sane. womanly American girls-never,
of themselves, choose lives of vice
And persons who say that a we'll
balanced girl goes wrong" because
she really wants to SANDER the
greatest of all God-given feminine
gifts-virtue.
Virtue, above all other things, is
inherent in the soul of girlhood. So
imbedded is it that no normal girl
gives 1t up without a great, desperate
struggle. If it were not so we could
race. A great progeny could not be
produced from a loose womankind
Among normal girls-and I would
say there is no more than one abnor-
NAL girl to every hundred rightly
instructed girs--there are only two
reasons for parting with their inno-
cence.
One of these is ignorance-the
ignorance of childhood and lack of
parental care-and the other is eco
nomic pressure.
wages.
Youth-the girls who work for
slender pittances in the great stores
and shops-does not label it "econom-
zeal pressure"
The young girl Graves joy-the joy
that rightly belongs to the young.
She grows tired of her sordid exist
ence, whether it is spent in a little
bedroom or in an overcrowded tene-
ment. Her scanty meals, the same
old clothes and lack of recreation
month in and month out drive her
to desperation.
And, as she stands behind the coun-
ter thinking of these things and long
ing for something brighter, while
great streams of brilliantly gowned
women flow past, she finds herself
wishing that she, too could live such
a beautiful life as these women--these
women who get these things because
somebody loves them.
At first she puts the thought away
from her because she feels it can
never be fulfilled, but after a while
the thought grows-the longing for
the bright things and the longing, too,
for love.
The environment grows more and
more monotonous, the meals more
and more tasteless, the old clothes
SINNER and SINNER.
And then the man comes.
.
Money can buy brightness. Youth
has a right to the brightness it earns.
Pay our girls what they work for and
fewer of them will fall for the price
of the gaiety they see all around
them.
Twelve dollars week is little
enough to buy for the girl who works
the brightness that the world owes
her for legitimate toll.

Irving W. Childs, known as 1.-THE

the $4,000 bequest to this woman
became public, Lydia Robinson has
appeared to prove that she is the
beneficiary meant.
Extensively dressed, calm and al
most scornful in her attitude. she an

her story of travelling with Childs
as his wife. She declared she met
him in Vera Cruz. Mexico in June,
1908, and two days later met his law
Ahl. 1ldfh. At that litHC, SiAc
said, Childs was travelling under the
name of Carter, and Clark was using
a name not his own.
Later, she testified, she Joined
Childs in Havana and went to Europe
with him. meeting Clark later in
Paris. After that, she said, they
travelled in Europe for two years,
being accompanied much of the time
by Clark. She declared that Clark
continually warned them that detec-
tives were on their track, sent out
by Childs's relatives. with the inten-
ton of having him brought back to
America as insane.
When they finally did return to
America. in June, 1910, according to
the testimony. Clark met them al
Hoboken and warned them again OF
the detectives and insanity charges
which so frightened Childs that he
refused to come to New York, but
went instead to Washington. Balti-
more and finally to Chester Manor.
