'She saw that l was her friend
THAT is the explanation of Mrs. Thomas
H. TYLER, the first Matron of the Streets
in America, for her wonderful success in
dragging wayward girls from the deadly
morass of immortality and for preventing
hundreds of others-weakened, diSillusioned,
and desperate from various causes-from
stepping over the brink into the worst kind
of slavery.
For nearly year this delicate, mother
lv woman has gone forth into the alleys,
public parks, cafes, theaters, and dance
halls, to put out helping hand to her SIS
tiers. But that is only one phase of her
work. Mrs. Tyler also visits the railway
stations, the factories, the sweatshops, every
where where girls are striving, with the great
gray hawk swooping close.
The Mother OF Hundreds has no distinc-
tive dress. Her only badge is human kind
ness. 1t radio ties from her, and IS her great
est asset in securing the confidence of girls
whose shattered illusions and first hand view
of the "seamy side" have inbred in them
distrust of every fellow being. Equality is
her watchword. She has become the self
appointed friend and helper of every girl
and woman in the city, no matter to what
depth she may have descended. Transcend
ing all else, Mrs Tyler treats every girl as
an equal. She does not believe in conde-
scendlng charity or rescue work.
Out in Boston's fashionable and exclusive
Back Bay section is the coy, homelike
apartment of the first woman in this country
to make her lifework the aiding and saving
of her sisters. Her home is appropriately
named THE Shelter; although, in keeping
with Mrs. Tyler's quiet. unostentatious
methods. it bears no sign of a name. To
this haven she brings her protegees: not as
to an asylum or institution. but to real
home. Every effort is made to have the
girls feel that they are friendly guests, not
simply inmates.
All classes and all types are sheltered and
cared for on an absolutely equal basis at the
comfortable apartment. Every girl is given
a chance to catch her breath and to recover

She gathered her wraps about her and
started to the door, uttering the cry of one

He intercepted her. @You told me you

Hundreds of girl factory and store workers
are also visited by their self-appointed bene-
factor. She makes them know that she is
their friend, to be consulted at any time
She gives them new courage and confidence.
Her evident kindness and spirit of cam
araderie irresistibly overcome the suspicious
and fear Of the girls.
AFTER six months actual fighting of what
IS, perhaps, our greatest national prob
lem, Mrs. Tyler has valuable observations to
make regarding every phase of immortality.
Her views are made particularly valuable
because of her wide and varied experience
and actual contact with girls in practically
every walk of life
@One of the greatest surprises to me,
says Mrs. Tyler, is the fact that many OF
the girls are not forced into such a life
through poverty: although, of course, the
majority are of the latter class Girls of the
best families, with beautiful homes, reared
to lives OF refinement and culture, are not
secure. Many of them have confided to me
that it was the lure of the bright lights and
the promise of having gay time that first
led them into it.
Il think it obvious, therefore, that every
city in the country should establish clean.

young men could meet for social intercourse,

fresh grip on her self-respect.
She also caters to the girls indi-
viduality. She frowns upon
hard and fast, strait-laced meth
cd of readjustment.
So when Mary, a college girl
whose lapse was occasioned
chiefly by sheer laziness, came
home with Mrs. Tyler, they
visited concerts and art mu-
seums in Difference to the visi-
tors tastes. On their return
other friends came in, acting in
a perfectly normal manner, and
Mary felt herself one guest
among many. In this atmos-
phere Mrs. Tyler quietly emph;-
sized the beauty of enjoying
those delights in a legitimate
way and in companionship that
left no bitter taste.
Jennie, whom Mrs. Tyler
picked out from a crowd of
roisterers, had known but little
home life, however, and needed
physical care. When she was
clean and whole her taste was
consulted. She knew nothing of
art or music: but she was fond
of nature and animals. So Mrs.
Tyler took her to the Zoo at

Full Cast for Pirates of Penzance" to Be Announced at Rehearsal
 Tomorrow Night

The full cast for "The Pirates of Penzance" will probably be announced at the chorus rehearsal which has been called for tomorrow evening at s o'clock at the Sherwood Music schools studio in the Clark building. Robert Lawrence, who is directing the pro- duction which will be given under the auspices of the Women's Auxiliary of the United Charities, states that he ex- poets to have the complete cast ready by tomorrow night, and that announce ment will be made at that time
 It will probably be necessary to SC . cure two or three additional tenors, two bassos and at least two high so- pranos, but MT. Lawrence states that he feels confident that he will have these singers before the end of tho week. With these exceptions the cast and the chorus are complete, and in the opinion of Mir. Lawrence the chorus will be the finest that has ever been heard in Birmingham. There is no ex- pense attached to being a member of the company 1t is said that the past chorus training of number of the singers has been very valuable to them, and for that reason they are making an unusually good showing for the Pirates of Penzance"
 The principals will number 10, the male voices 24 and the female 26 when the cast is complete.

NEWSOME'S SEEN
 BY LARGE CROWD
Handsome New Ice Cream and Candy Store on Third Avenue Is
 Formally Opened

Newsome's, Birrningham's newest soda and ice cream parlor and candy store, was formally opened to the public yes terday and hundreds of people visited the store at 1921 Third avenue during the day. A delightful programme of music was rendered by the orchestra, and morning and .af .ernoon Miss Florence Kelly of the Newspaper club sang a number of popu- lar selections.
 Newsomes was formerly Wiley's and later "The Arcadia" MT. Newsome has secured the place and spent several thousand dollars thoroughly eauipping it. beautifyinr 1t and installing complete candy making plant in the building. Practically all the candies will be made there in the future.
 A D. Mccormick, who was formerly manager of Nunnally's, is the manager, and $. N. Sutton has charge of the man. ufacturing department. Both are well known in Birmingham.
 Many of the souvenirs given away yes- terday were boxes of candy which were made by the company. The store was beautifully decorated for the occaaion with ferns, plants. chrysanthemums and cut flowers

there were several nondescript CUTS lying around Que of the CUTS seemed desirous of making the acquaintance of his pedi- greed brethren. but. as is so often the case with those whose only boast is blue blood they refused to respond to his advances, and as 1t were turned up their aristocratic noses at him. He was in the main an unprepossessing beast but had an intelligent look and an alert eye. He was part pointer but principally ordi- nary dog.
 He was so persistent in his attentions that one of the party asked the negro if he was a bird dog.
 "Yassah.' replied the darkey, an de best dawg in de ole land" thus proving that all men. white or black. are-well we might as well say it-liars, when it comes to dogs.
 "Is he a pointer or a setter?" asked Senator Morrow.
 He are bofe," responded Rastus with a grin. ''Yo see, sah, dat dawg he sets on de flo all day an p'ints at de fire"
 With a laugh the party moved on and the plebeian canine showed evidence that he intended to accompany them. for de. spite the commands of his ebony mas ter and the threatening attitude of the party, he was not abashed and followed on. After throwing all the available rocks, sticks and stones at the cur with. out avail. the party gave up the attempt to run him off and "plebe" became one of them.
 And would you believe it, When the hunting started Plebe showed up his aristocratic connections to a Queens taste. He was the first to point covey and stood like a stature until given the command to flush. At the sound of tht gun he dashed off and retrieved the birds in a manner that brought joy to the hunters hearts. He was the life of tho party and flushed covey after covey un. til the hunters had all the birds thai | the law allows.
 | In the meantime the senator was work i ing out his "blue bloods'' He tried then i in the most likely locations for game
 Not point did they make, not birs
 did they raise. Finally the senator tIet them to a tree and what he said abou | them and the man that inveigled him into | their purchase could only be written or asbestos paper. He took a hand witt | the negro's dog and soon killed his quota of birds. It was the consensus of opinior that had 1t not been for the cur dol
 the party would not have got bird. It Is stated that the next day the sen ator swapped the "Lewellyns' off for a red game rooster and plug of stingaree and to this good day he boasts of getting the best of the swap.

 HOUSES BIG WORK
Institution Expects to Have More Calls Upon It This Winter Than Ever
 Before

Arrangements now being made for the great cotton ball at the Tutwiler next Tuesday evening under the auspices of the ladies of Neighborhood house are at- tracing renewed attention and interest in this well known institution
 Plans for the details in connection with the ball are being worked out rapidly and the ladies in charge yesterday stated that while many beautiful and unique cotton costumes are to be worn, all the ladies attending would not be required to wear cotton costumes unless they choose.
 Neighborhood house is located on Nine- teenth street near Avenue E, and em- braces all branches of regular settlement work. Indeed, the work has become so extensive that large fund is required annually, and the proceeds from Tues days ball are to be devoted to this cause
 The house has many of the best known and most highly esteemed women of Bir- mingham on its board of managers, and the ladies point out that more calls will be made upon the institution this winter than ever before. One of the best known features of the work Is the day nursery where mothers who have to work for a s~llving may leave their children during the day. This nursery now cares for daily average of 90 or 35 children
 But perhaps the most far-reachine feature of the work is the visiting svs- tenn, whereby the house's visitors go into the homes with advice and aid in the problems of domestic life and living con ditions.
 Nelghborhood house has already become social center for the entire community in which it is located, and is a popular meeting place for the residents It has a special boys clubroom and workshop, as well as giris' club and sewing department, and in fact every feature which will ap. peal most forcibly to those for whose benefit and comfort the institution is op- erated.
