SISTER REDUCES BORROWING TO
 EXACT SCIENCE

Borrowing from the rich to aid the poor used to be a favorite amuse- ment of the merry men of England, but Sister Etienne a Sister of Char ity in the 14th Ward of Paris, has reduced the process to a science.
 Sister Etienne works in one of the sorriest uarters of Paris, where you find families of six or seven or nine people living in dark sheds. There are charitable institutions, there, but they cannot cope with the misery.
 So she begins her day by greeting a procession of women and children who come to her tiny shop from the wretched novels about her to tell her their troubles. She has been giving them medicine, and food when she could get 1t. After sending them away with what help she can give, she spends the rest of the day visit ing them to carry out prescriptions and take them the help which she begs from richer doors.
 It was the lack of food that hurt the most, and now the Red Cross has made Sister Etienne happy and her neighbors grateful by helping her to open a little diet kitchen in small, confectioners shop in the rue Pier-o Larousse.
