A FAMILY OF GIRLS

Dear Miss Idbbey:
 Do you think it is a hardship to have a. family of six single daughters, every one of them refusing to work to help along the expenses? wouldn't t say a word if we were people of means. but we are not. My husband has a small dry goods store and it is very hard to meet ouf bills I am writing all this to suggest to you that it might make good subject for you to write about. My girls read all you write and it might influence them somewhat, don't you think?
 MRS HANNAH ------.
 This mothers letter needs little add ed to it to convince her daughters of the duty which lies before them. When girls are brought into the world with out the proverbial golden spoon in their mouths. they should be eager for the time to come wher they can put their strong young shoulders to the wheel of support, and let poor old mother and father rest. It is not a disgrace nowadays for young women to accept positions in office, store or factory. zsfeadwdnners are admired and respected-idlers are talked about secretly and their parents pdtied. Even would-lbe slrftors hang aloof from a family ct daughters who are too in doAenf to work. Their foolish pride is sure to have a tremendous fall some day

VISITING NURSES BRING COMFORT TO
 SICK AND NEEDY
Care of Babies Is Specially In
 Work of Association.
TAG DAY PLANNED
 TO RAISE FUNDS
Demands On Organization Re- quire More Assistants and
 Larger Facilities.

Tn furthering their work for safe guarding the health of Brtdgeporters,, especially the babies, the Visiting Nurse association has established at it's headquarters, 475 State scrset, a system of emergency closets. The contents of these closets are designed to meet each and every emergency which may arise in the work of guard ing the health of infants of the needy. aiding the victims of tuberculosis or in supplying medicines and bandages to the sick and afflicted. Through the establishment of these closets the as- sociation has been able to extend timely and efficient assistance to would not have obtained such help. That this service is appreciated by those who have benefited from it, goes without saying.
 The Babies closet is supported by the Mothers club. The closet ia es- peciallys designed for infants needs. and wearing apparel from it is loaned to needy mothers.
 Here mothers who, find themselves in strai ghtened eircunstancess may procure the needed garments for their little ones which otherwise they would have to do without. They may come to the rooms of the association and borrow what clothes they may need for their babies. When the mothers are through with the clothes they are expected to return them to the alS- sociation headquarters. When re- turned, the clothes are thoroughly sterilized and put back in the closet for future use.
 E The Tuberculosis closet in the as- sociation rooms is maintained by the association. In it is stored everything needed and used in the care of such cases, including clothing which is loaned to the afflicted ones If by chance they are too poor and III to provide the necessary articles them selves. In aceordance with the rigid regulations for the prevention of dis ease maintained by the association, every article used is thoroughly ster- iIized before being returned to the closet again.
 A General closet Is also maintained by the Association to provide ban dages. medicines. clothing. etc, used for surgical and medical work. A trifiing sum, whatever the person can afford to give, is charged for the ser-4 vices of the visiting nurses, four of whom are employed by the Associa- needy and afflicted. In cases where those in distressy are unable to pay, medicines. bandages. the advice and skill of the nurses as well as the use of the contents of the closets men toned above are at the service of the sick. free Of cost.t
 It is to maintain this good work and further it in Bridgeport. that the Wis iting Nurse association has arranged a Tag Day here for Saturday, October 8.

Suddenly he tore open the bag, dumping the contents Dut before him and rUnntng through them nervously. When he looked up the light of disappointHent, almost fear, was upon his face.
 The amulet, the sacred amulet which had served her so well, would continue to serve her so we'll as long as she con tfnued in this land, was still in her possession. He had failed to tell the crone to steal that also. And the old woman had reported that she was merely stunned. The sacred amulet which would make her revered by any savage she chanced to meet was still hers. while he, Hugo Loubeque, would find every hand against him.
 He moved swiftly now. preparing for his long journey through the jungle, away from her zeaIous pursuit and to- ward possible relief, for so long as he remained here Lucille had every one for friend and assistant, while he had only those he might gain through fear.
