GIRLS GO HUNGRY
after OBTAINING
JOBS IN FACTORY
Protective Association Han
dies Many Cases of
Luncheon-Less Girls

The bright prospects of Bridgeport's
prosperity have led many girls scarce
1y out of their teens, to several days
hunger in this city, according to per-
sons interested in charitable work. AS
a, result it is not unlikely that an eff
fort will be made by organized char
ity to have a peculiar condition that
exists in many local factories abated.
According to Miss Katheryn I.
Hewitt, superintendent of the Bridge
port Protective Home. who is more
familiar, probably, than any other
person. with the plight of strangers
who come to this city in quest of work,
many girls and women have suffered
because they found factories here hold
back a weeks wages, in many instan-
ces, when a new empIoye is taken
Counting on their first weeks pay
to settle their board bill and supply
lunch money, newcomers have been
Miss Hewitt's records show, The Pro-
tective Home has served to alleviate
the distress very often.
The increased prices of board here
and other difficulties, make it doubt
full, Miss Hewitt says, whether it is a
good business proposition for girls
and women in other cities to leave
poor-paying jobs for better salaried
ones here. Often, according to Miss
Hewitt, the difference is lost here be-
cause Of the greater drains on the
purse.
ARRANGEMENTS for the Embarrassing
campaign of the Protective Associa-
ton, which will begin Feb 8, are be-
ing completed by the directors and it
is expected that within few days the
names of the leaders. who will have
charge of the districts will be an
nounced. Leaders are now selecting
their lieutenants, who will make a
canvas of the districts, and details are
being provided for. Especial efforts
will be made to reach the person of
moderate means for small donations,
because experience has shown that
the work of the association depends
largely upon these.

GOOD WORK
FOR SICK WOMEN
The Woman's Medicine Has
Proved Its Worth.

When Lydia E. Pinkham s remedies
were first introduced, their curative
powers were doubted and had to be
proved. But the proof came, and grad
ually the use of them spread over tho
whole country. Now that hundreds of
thousands of women have experienced
the most beneficial effects from the use
of these medicines, their value has be-
come generally recognized, and Lydia
E. Pinkhan's Vegetable Compound is
the standard medicine for women.

and frequent urination, as well as sedI-

simply wonderful how surely "Anur1c"
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism

TODAY'S POEM
WINTER SHORE.

Is this the shore, where drowsy .Au>
gust lay
Poppy crowned crimson with her
1anguid eye
Fixed ever on the dim blue summer
sky
F1ecked with white clouds, that Hea-
ven has long been gray,
Long has Old Ocean ceased his sum-
ner play
And furious hurls his angry wave
arms high
In agony his vanguards vainly try
To pass the sodden sand that bars
their way;
The ice binds the salt meadows with a
band
And cloaks the barnacles on pile
and pier
The sea lies sad. Dark clouds hide
all above,
Is this indeed, our lazy summer strand
And this dark tide the main we held
so dear
When Baldur ruled with Avis, God OF
Love?

In this mornings budget of letters.
find one from a school girl named
Emily It amuses me vastly. She
writes: 81 have about finished with
school When I go home for the hol-
idays, am to return no more to books
and learning. I was never allowed ito
have company-young girls and young
fellows. That is to be changed now.
L am to invite whom I please to call.
Among all of the young gentlemen, no
doubt 1 will find a beau. If there's
counting to go on, will you please tell
me what it consists of?''
The very frankness of the letter al
most takes my breath away. I have
not the least doubt as to the girls
other girls who are puzzlfng their
pretty heads over the same thought.
If all courtships were alike, the an
swer could be summed up in a few
words. But it has as many variations
as there are men of different minds
tally exactly.
The average courtship begins some
what in this way: A young man s
eyes rest upon a girl whose sweetness
and .modeSty attract him. He man
ages to secure an introduction His
next move is to be invited to call. IF
the impression which he has made
upon the girl is Favorable, she men
lions him to her folks. Anticipating
that he might prove to be a sutton,
they casually mention that if she finds
him interesting they have no objec-
ton to her inviting him to call, a per-
mission which she takes advantage of
the next time she meets him.
His first call is not a matter Of much
mention. Her family help entertain
him This makes him feel at home.
If he cares for the girl, he comes re-
peatedly under these conditions. More
often than not, he is invited to dine.
When he gets calling regularly, that
leads the old folks to understand that
the daughter is the magnet which
brings him there
He invites her now and then to
places of amusement usually asking
some one of her family to accompany
them The mother cleverly gives them
a moment or two at the gate while she
is fumbIing with the key at the hall
door The man in love is quick to
take advantage of such a moment. He
clasps the girls hand, tells her how
pleasant he has found the evening ex-
pressing the hope that she has found 1t
quite as enjoyable.
Many such stolen moments of bliss
set the love bark af1oat. When he
realizes he has me the one girl in all
the world for him, he asks permission
to WOO and win her of her parents, be-
ing assured the girl will not say him
nay. Then fellow blissful days to-
gether, in which they plan for their
future. There's a goodbye kiss at the
door, loving words whispered and an
ing, perfect contentment in. each 9TH
er's. presence. Both, eager, set a date
for the wedding. This is ideal court
ship.

LOVES HER, YET SHE'S

$50 to $50 per month. Have been go

poor health. I think everything of

mas, yet she thought seriously that
she should not marry on account of
bad health. Please advise if in any
way I can overcome her objection

SEPARATED, YET
LONG TO MAKE UP

\ O. L. F. D. writes: 'I. a girl reader
of 20, love a young man the same age.
We had a falling out, all my fault.
At the time, I didn't care much for
him. Since I think of him constantly.
Love him dearly now. If we meet at
places of amusement, he looks at me.
When he speaks, he is very nice, He
never asks to come back. Says he
doesn't trust mel might leave him
again. Don't go with other girls. Am
I to write or invite him home or try to
forget him?''
In view of your past friendship, you
might venture to send him a nice ehol-
