II was just thinking OF Shoeburyport,
Mass, that's all. You wouldn't under.

lie looked at the cure, and then Il
occurred to him that he was viewing
him from nm entirely different angle.
For the first time In their acquaintance
Il occurred 10 him that Father Lucien
was really man underneath his long
soutare.
When. few minutes late, the priest
opened the door, Marie and Jean came
forward with linked arms. and their
expressions were transformed. Jean
graspcd Lafe by the hand and looked
ut him earnestly. nut did not say u

"Well, I'm darned!" exclaimed I.afe.

Tells of wonsA's Plight.
There came to me this morning a
young woman who could get satisfac-
tory work but for her baby. She can
find no homo for herself and her
child and has been sleeping in rail-
way stations"
The plight of the unfortunate young
mother in England who cannot md a
homo for a baby is pitiful. Foster
mothers today are no longer able to
nurse q child for the payment of a
couple of dollars a week. and nearly
all apartment houses announce mo

applying even to legitimate children.
Where there is q suspicion OF illegiti-
macy the door is closed with an ex-
ira loud bang.
A scheme Is now awaiting the ap-
prevail Of the ministry of health for
Immediate application. 1t will be Of
q municipal nature and includes the
provision of q children's home. a
hotel where mothers can live with
their babies, the subsidy Of foster

Lady Henry Somerset is putting all
her enegry into the furtherance Of
the scheme. OF course" she ex-
planned. IT do not think we should

baby into the world under conditions
OF SO much misery, but 1t is our duty
TO help these unmarried mothers and
their children. Condemnation is fu-

should not bear the full weight OF the
burden alone. though they almost in
sariably have to.
