Protective Association
Houses Girl Held AS
Witness to a Murder

When this city holds a girl as a
not locked up in Jail. but is sent to
the Bridgeport Protective association
where she is given care and attention
under surveillance. When recently a
girl who had been the motive in the
murderous attack, was taken to the
cheerful home at sol Myrtle avenue.
she was given the usual kind treat
ment which is meted out to those who
appeal.
The girls side of the story is told
to those who are sympathetic and IAN
see the present day problems iron
her point of view. She is given food
if she is hungry, then taken to the
light, airy dormitories.
The association has always stood for
the close relationship of cleanliness
and goodness. That girl was bathed
and her hair dressed. She was fed
nourishing food. Those in charge
attempted to teach her the funda-
mental lessons of Americanism. This
is but on eof many young women who
has been sent to the Bridgeport Pro-
tective Association for Women and
Children.
The association will ask for double
the number of subscribers this year
with double the subscriptions Of pre-
vious years. The associations work
has increased 400 per cent. Beginning

TODAY'S POEM

My little son who looked from
thoughtful eyes,
And moved and spoke in quiet,
grownup wise,
Having my law the seventh time dis
obey'd,
I struck him, and DISMISSED
With hard words and unkissd,
His mother, who was patient, being
dead.
Then, fearing lest his grief should
hinder sleep,
T visited his bed, t
But found him slumbering deep,
With darken'd eyelids and their
From his late sobbing wet,
And I, with moan,
kissing away his tears, left others OF
my own;
For, on table drawn beside his
head,
He had put, within his reach,
A box of counters and a .red-vein'd
stone,
A piece Of glass abraded by the beach,
And six or seven shells,
A bottle with bluebells
And two French copper coins, rang
ed there with careful art,
To comfort his sad heart
So when that night I pray'd
To God, I wept, and said.
All, when at last we die with tranced
breath,
Not vexing The in death,
And Thou remembered of what toys
We made our joys,
How weakly understood,
The great commanded good,
Then, fatherly not less
That I whom Thou has nodded from
the clay.

II will be sorry for their childish

What can break that golden chain?
Not even the words you have spoken
Or the sharpness Of my pain"
Have you ever had love affair
which ended ip falling out? IL you
are a man did you do your best to eff
feot a reconciliation? If you are a
woman did you not watch and wait,
hoping for just one line from him, if
he stayed away, until patience seemed
to be a virtue?
Of all the woes that may come to
those who love none are so pitiful as
to be wroth with one that is loved and
with whom there was falling OUT
Each grieves in secret silence over
what might have BEEN Where both
are stubborn and unyielding, 1T may
not be said that much love has been
lost between them. Where a mans
treaure is, there his heart is also. He
cannot be happy, if he would, away
from her Absence makes the heart
that yearns grow fonder. A man is
not stubborn where he truly loves and
fears to lose. It is generally over tri-
fes that lovers disagree. A smile or
a kind word would bridge it over at
the time. If they part in anger, the
two may regret it ever after. If the
lover is stern and his sweetheart will
full, love should not blind either one
to the trait in the other. They should
forestall the possibility OF falling out
by agreeing that whatever might hap

Even if they had difference and did

with his hat in his hand to go he
shouldn't let pride interfere with his
happiness. He should say, MAY

It requires tact on both sides to be

girl should expect man to neglect
