especially Of the middle classes, have
always been ready TO receive and have
become very selfish in their lives, in not
giving OF themselves and their influence
in the betterment of their communities.
That they have never been called upon,
to any great extent to sacrifice for their
lesser fortunate sister, but that the
time is at hand for the greatest Of work
for the women Of this country. Touch
ing was her plea for the children. and
especially for the young girls, in the
crowded homes OF the poorer classes
and especially for the little girls who
are forced 10 earn their existence. That
we should not condemn them too greatly
for their wanting of things that their
more favored sisters possess. and that
their sordid lives. many living in tne
tiny room. going early to their days
tasks. reaching home late in the after
noon and working late at night in order
that they may at least be presentable
for their coming days work and thAt
this and the lack Of privacy N many
crowded homes go far in causing them
