One Agreement
Between England and
Germany

In two such alien and
antagonistic nations as
England and Germany, The
Delineator is a leading mag
azine for women. At both
London and Berlin there are
issued separate and distinct
Delineators, published in
and for their respective
countries.
In England The Delinea-
tor has a circulation of more
than 10000 and in Germany
The Delineator (printed in
German and called Butter
ick's Modem Revue) has a
circulation of more than
$4,000.
To appreciate these figures
it is necessary to recall that
European magazine circula-
tions are comparatively small
and that, therefore, these
figures are relatively large.
The Delineator success
fully appeals to women
all over the world. The
Delineator understands and
serves the eternal feminine"

measure if the man just came across
with the SIS the home felt she owed
them for being Charitable" to her.
Neither did Richards have any sat
isfactory answer to make to Judge
Fishers query if he was not aware
that under the law not penny Of the
settlement obtained for the support
of the baby could be taken for the
support Of the mother.
Nor when Rep CuTran denounced
the home and similar institutions as
graft and declared there wasn't any
charity connected with them and that
their aim was to get as much money
as possible out of the man and let
the poor girl get the worst Of it did
DR.. Richards have even the least little
bit of a comeback.
Judge Fisher ordered that the Beu-
lah Home might retain One-fourth Of
the first 800 for the baby's board,
and must return to Margaret S75,
though Richards claims he only got
$50 and the other $40 is roaming be-
tween the home and BoFchardt's Of
flee. Organized charity left the
court Of inquiry badly crippled.
But, after all, that is nothing new
for organized charity. The sad thing
is the very sweet, refined mother Of
the baby who hasn't lost her faith yet
in the kindness of humanity and is
hoping that she may find place
where they will give her and the baby
a home in return for her work, be-
cause, she says, "The baby is very
good and can do cooking and clean
ing and think I would be lots strong
er if I got somewhere where they
liked me-"

which he had the man sign covering
the settlement.
Margaret protested against having
to pay a lawyer, but was reminded of
the $40 that would be coming to her
on Aug. II, and when Borchardt told
her he was the official lawyer of the
home she felt she was in the game
and it wouldn't be any use to hoIler.
During MargaTet's stay, however,
she says she had been spending her
own money, gotten by selling a few
of her personal belongings to a
friend, to buy herself sufficient to exc
out the spare ratiOns at the home, as
she claims most Of the girls do, and
that she has been working as all the
girls do when they are not in chapel
listening to Richards recommending
spiritual bread in place Of wheat.
When she came to the last penny she
could get and Richards told her she
would have to leave or be sUbserHant
to the chapel attending rules, she
went to Miss Grimsby again to see
just what a girl with tiny baby was
supposed to do when the S100 first
payment for her baby had been COB
bled up by the charitable home and
the lawyer who says he represents
it, and the matter was brought to
Judge Fisher.
Richards said many kind things
about how good the home is and how
fond they are of caring for girls who
have no money, but he made no men
ton of the work the girls do, or of
the fact brought out by the Curran
committee that girls are hired out
sometimes as yet nurses or that the
home provides them with scant "a
tians and a shelter, but doesn't, &C
carding to the girls, even give them !
