The exhibition of work and baby
show of the Florence Crittenton Mis-
sion Home being held at Coz 14th street
northwest closed late yesterday after
noon and those in charge, including the
babies who worked in relays, are due
today for well earned rest. all the more
acceptable because of the success that
attended their efforts. Crowds pressed
around the windows where the kiddies of
all ages clambered in and out or gurgled
in cribs. and contributions fell steadily
into the baskets provided for them. An
hour or two before closing time the sum
received for the work of the home was
announced to be more than thousand
dollars.
I'VE not only consider our exhibition a
success from a pecuniary standpoint,
declared one OF the women in charge,
but the greatest sort of Il success in
the way Of spreading information as to
the work we are doing. Many people
now are more than ever interested in
our home, and many are familiar with
the name and what it stands for who
never we're before. We feel grateful
both to our old and new friends.
You would be surprised could you
have stayed here all day. at the number
of young men and youths and even boys
who watched the babies and who realized
that they are fatherless youngsters, with
all that that phrase implies. ! am sure
it gave them new angle of vision on the
problem and brought it home to them
in an invaluable way.
