The inexperienced country colored
girl who has no conception nor idea

large city continues to come to town.
and for her the Philadelphia Associa-
ton for the Protection of Colored
Women carries on a persistent work
which improves steadily. In compar-
ing the yearly number of girls travel
ing forth from the South by boat
line, the association finds that the
number this year is not quite as large
as in the past years. This it feels is
due to two causes: first, the result of
literature which it has sent South set
ting forth conditions in the northern
cities. intended to discourage immi-
grafton in large numbers; and, second
ly, because boat lines are carrying
more freight than formerly. One of
the interesting cases of the year Is
that of young girl only sixteen years
of age coming from Sussex county,
Va. going to Wildwood, N. j., to join
her mother who had gone ahead to
find employment for them both. Be-
ing poor. she could only send the girl
her carfare. When the girl reached
Philadelphia she was tired and hun
cry. The associations worker carried
her to the Camden side where she
later boarded a train for Wildwood.
gave her her breakfast and a little
carfare, so If she missed her mother
who was to meet her at the station
she might ride to the address given
her. The girl was very grateful and
after reaching Wildwood sent a very
nice letter saying how grateful she
and her mother were for the help.
