STORY OF TWO GIRLS WHO
CAME TO CITY FOR NEW LIFE
Two young girls who live in Crys-
tai, Wis, and thought the drudgery
of far mwork too soul-grinding, ran
away from home. That was two years
ago.
They came to Chicago which they
believed contained all the finer things
of life. They came to find happiness.
And they found our department
stores and factories, where girls slave
long hours for short pay, and they
found villainoUs men, who offered to
supply the difference" And then
they found our Morals Court.
The girls were Belle Grey and Elsie
Sheldon. The latter tried to say she
was 20. But the tell-tale look of youth
was in her face despite the traces of
the night life she has led.
They were arrested in a raid on a
fiat conducted by Mrs. Hazel Muir
dock at 245O S. Wabash avenue.

Elsie-to put up an argument in court

you can't understand. It's very nice
to preach from up there. But it isn't
quite so easy to take it when you're
in my position. Prostitution is bust
ness with me. And it offers more pay
than any other business I've ever
worked at"
But the judge did not give up his
desire to help the girls. He talked to
them further. And they told the story
Of their fall; of how they were trans
formed from two country girls, who
set out to find happiness and found
disgrace.
