They did not.

the waste places and cared for them as
best they could. One American woman
led a COW and stopped and MIXED it on

ing.
They went with the young girls Of the
mission schools into the barren lands
where they were driven, and stood by,
helpless, while atrocities too horrible to
be put into print were committed.
They walked for days and weeks over
rough and stony roads that they might,
perhaps. bring help or be solace to

their care.
One woman writes in cipher: 'If it

leave here TO go somewhere else. il would
not be so bad, but everyone knows, it is

They proved beyond all doubt, that
courage and devotion to that which they
have undertaken to do are not matters
of sex that they could be trusted with
the highest mission in life. the protection
of the weak and oppressed, and the pow
ar for this same protection in this coun-
try is the fundamental reason for wo-
mans zeal for equal rights. The women
n Armenia were helpless while the
Turkish hordes moved down the Chris
tians: the American women are helpless
to right conditions which menace the
youth of this land. All honor to the wo-
men in Armenia who have upheld the
deal of American womanhood by their
heroic acts and silent endurance. They
rave added another crown of glory to
place with those Of the heroes who have

What Wrinkles Reveal
