would act as If lonesome Noticing this Doctor
Howe day asked the reason
''We are not lonely for people, but lonely for anil
mails" they answered. In South Africa one of their
principal pastmes had been to trek through the
woods with their dogs. The Horners remained at
Ellis island for several weeks after they had been
admitted to the country then Doctor Howe took
them up to a summer home he has in the woods in
Westchester county.
There they have lived all winter enjoying life in
the open country, especially when the
ground and the deer tracks could be followed
through the woods The two younger girls possess
a knowledge of woodcraft which Doctor Howe says
Is really amazing and they have no fear of getting
lost in the woods. They walk for miles in which
ever direction their fancy takes them, always find
ing their way back home by the same sort of in
stinct as that by which ar Indian Is guided.
The interest shown by Doctor Howe in this par
ticular case was in keeping with his general policy
of administering the affairs of Ellis island that
those who come to this country from other lands
with the intention Of making new home for them
selves will be treated with as much kindness and
consideration the enforcement of the exclusion
laws permits.
The enforcement of these laws is bound to cause
many hardships and disappointments, but Ellis is

much to brighten the lives of those who have been
detained on the island for months. Last summer to
relieve the situation Fairgrounds were opened on
the island and mothers and children We're per-
mitted to play on the lawns. The first day they

tioh "aru' which he frequently does there are al
ways many questions to answer and heartaches to
soothe. -
Late one afternoon last October Doctor Howe,
whlie going around the station on one of these
tours OF investigation noticed Il middle-aged wom-
an, of neat, motherly appearance with two pretty
little girls cuddling up to her. sitting In the deten-
uon ROOM AS the hour was late and he thought
they were visitors Doctor Howe inquired what thew
were waiting for and If he could do anything for
them.
The woman explained that she was British and
with her children had been ordered deported They
had arrived from Great Britain about a month be-
FORE but had no friends In this country and no
money and therefore, had not been allowed to
enter.
The healthy appearance of the two children. their
pretty faces and their evident good breeding won
over the commissioner on the spot, and he immedi-
ately interested himself in their case
The womans name was Mrs. Rita Homer and
her story was this when the war broke out she
was living with her family which, besides her hus-
band, consisted of two sons and three daughters,
on dairy farm some miles out of Capetown, South
Africa. The country about them was rugged and
wild and the girls despite their young years. were
forced to walk many miles every day to attend
school, The sons, who We're older helped to work
the farm
THE husband and the two boys along with most
of the abe-boded men In that section enlisted In
the British army soon after war was declared and
were sent to the front. They took part in the
fighting in Belgium and northern France. One
was killed and the father seriously wounded All
trace of the other son had been lost. Mrs. Horner
was unable to work the farm by herself, SO she
raised what money she could and went to England
with her three daughters-Una fifteen years; Pirl,
ten years old, and Rita. nine years old. They
had not been In England long when Mrs. Horner
decided to come to America"
On hearing Mrs. Horner's story Doctor Howe
communicated with the authorities at Washington.
He explained that these people were all strong
and healthy that the children were beautiful and
that there was no danger of them becoming pub
lie charge. Furthermore, he announced his willing
ness to be responsible for them, and few days
after the machinery had been set in motion word
came back from Washington that Mrs. Horner and
her children would be released in his custody.
Meantime the family had made friends with
ly everybody on the island. The Waterman and
guards petted the children and gave them many
little presents The attendants did all they could
to make them comfortable.
| Despite these attentions the children sometimes

we are doing everything possible to make 1t more
comfortable and homelke around here. We have re-
moved many restrictions which heretofore existed
on the theory that the freedom they have the
more orderly they inclined to conduct them
selves.
But with all this there Is bound to be n feeling
among those who are detained, for one reason or
another, against their will that they are n,pris
oned In later years, however some of them am
sure, whether they admitted to the country or
are sent back to their native land, will look back
