 Do you know of the wonderful work which is being done daily in Montgom- cry by the Travellers Aid at the Union station? Well, if you don't, then when you have few moments some day in
 the city, stop at the depot and talk to
 Mrs. Willie B. Holloway or Mrs. Jennie |C. Snyder, the two sweet. motherly
 women who are the secretaries of the
 Travellers Aid of the Young Women's
 Christian association, and you will hear
 some interesting stories. Or better still.
 talk to some of the old ladies, young
 girls, and old men, whom these Kind
 secretaries have helped, and you will
 wonder how any city does without Travellers Aid. 4
 The work is pathetic. humorous and nerve racking, and one might weave a
 book out of the everyday occurrences a t
 the depot. There are few days that a Itired-out mother, or one who is sick, is not resting on the comfortable couch in the ladies waiting room, and recent |ly had you passed that way you might lhave seen two wornout soldiers sleep ing as peacefully as children on the couch and two others on a table with
 their coats bundled up for a pillow. Then there are the dear old grandmoth- CTS, travelling alone, who often take the
 wrong train, and the ragged little tots of foreign parents whose mothers know so little English and are so helpless
 Recently long distance call came to the secretary requesting her to meet Train No 10 and send three children who were running away back to their home This she did and the little folks were soon on their return trip home Numbers of soldiers and sailors. hurry ing hither and thither for Uncle Sam, are indebted to the Travellers Aid for having their buttons sewed on their coats.
 In a locker there is an ice cap. hot water bottle, eye cup, ear pump, ammo nia camphor paragoric, soda oil and and when occasion demands the station is used as hospital for a sick traveller These are only a few of the many instances which come up from day to day. If the committee in charge had searcher the country over two more efficient women could not have heen secured for this important work, than Mrs Holloway and Mrs Snyder They are not only efficient but sympa thetic. untiring and patient.
