! Mrs. Bardell could only reply
by a look. She had long wor.

her widest and most extravagant
hopes had never dared to aspire
Mr.. Pickwick was going to pro-

new entrance on Richards street, &C
cording to a report which is being
circulated. It has been pointed out
that the noise of the street cars and

tania street, which is expected to take
place In the very near future, it is be.
lieved that it will be impossible to
hold services with any degree Of

chasing q new organ for the church,

lieved that general improvements will

PitifuI Tale Is
UnfoIded To us.
Official By Girl
Without Money, Unable to Get
Work, She Seeks to Flee
From Scarlet Path

DRIVEN into a life Of shame by
hunger and inability to secure work.
a 20-year old American girl, a new
conner to Honolulu, has appealed to
federal authorities for protection
from suspicious landlords who, al
though knowing she Is penniless,
have forced her into the streets, not
even being willing to give her &C
commodation until she can leave for
the maiu4And on August p.
The girls case first came to the
attention Of the authorities when
federal officer visited a local room
ing house in search Of her, COM
plants having been entered regard
ing her actions. The official found
her in a room in company with
soldier and ordered them both from
the place, warning the girl and re-
Winding her Of the fate of local wo-
men of the demi- monde who reverted
to commercialized vice after they had
been warned by the court to quit.
A few nights later the girl went
personally to the home of the federal
official and there sobbed out the pitt
full tale Of how she was forced to
enter such a life because of lack Of
money and inability to secure work.
At least three rooming house land
lords had refused her admittance for
fear of being arrested, she said, they
having heard the story Of the officer
finding her in a room with soldier.
She appealed for protection, and
asked the official to help her get a
place where she might live until the
time comes for her to leave Hawaii.
This the official consented to- do.
According to the girls story, she
came here some months ago with a
friend, both firm in the belief that
they could secure good positions in
Honolulu. The days and weeks went
by; both failed to secure work, and
their little store Of money dwindled
away. The friend finally gave up
and chose the "easy way" Where
she has gone the other girl does not
know.
But the girl who is still In Homo.
lulu struggled along as best she could
and finally secured q position which
paid her little, but which enabled
her to- live. About two weeks ago,
her story goes, she was told by her
employer that her services were no
longer needed.
For q week she looked for work.
What little money she had was soon
spent Then. week ago, driven by
necessity, she slipped over the brink
and into the scarlet life. A few days
later the federal official found her.
The only thing Of value the girl
possesses, she says, IL steerage
ticket on q steamer leaving here
August %. She has treasured it
carefully and now that she is IN a
position to leave, win use It. Once
on the mainland where she can get
o position, she win Ego straight"
she told the official.
What was the girl to do?" asks
the official to whom she told her
story She is q white woman and
1t Is not easy for white women to
get employment here unless they
have some special training. Had she
been q japanese woman she could
have gotten work on q plantation or
IN home, This is not the only case
of this kind have heard Of"
