FLOWER GIRLS HAVE COURT
EXPERIENCE linen ESCAPE

EHPERlENCE-ME ESCAPE
Three pretty young girls stood at
a street entrance of the city hall to-
day. In their arms were great bun
dies of flowers. They were selling
them to passers-by for the benefit of
the Frances Willard hospital. Few
who passed could refuse the appeal
in their smiles.
Two men, well dressed, young,
clean-cut, stopped to buy a carnation.
why don't you go up into the
courts? You could sell lots up there"
suggested one of the men.
1--WE didn't know we could do
that" replied one.
"Oh, yes, you can, come with US;
we'll take you into Them" chorused
the two men.
The three young girls followed.
The two men took them to the elev-
enth floor into Judge Heaps morals
court. They marched the girls
through the files of street walkers,
prostitutes, panderers and keepers of
disorderly houses right up front to
the vacant chairs in the jury box.
The deniZens of the streets and NOR
bid hangerson in the court gasped in
amazement as they saw these three
girls sitting right beside the witness
bar.
There was an especially filthy case
before court. Eugene Quirk and the
Rev. Alice Phillips Aldrich noticed the
entrance of the girls, guided by the
men. They did not hesitate. Quirk
went for the men; Mrs. Aldrich talked
/ to the girls.
One of the girls told Mrs. Aldrich
she did not know what the word
prostitute" meant The others were
as innocent. Their innocence was
not affected.
do you want to flaunt these poor
unfortunate women of the streets
with your flowers? ?" inquired Mrs.
Aldrich.
