SEEK funds TO
CAREFOR
Managers Appeal for Money
For Hospital and Day
Nursery
MANY PATHETIC
CASES REPORTED

The Board of Managers Of the
Babies Hospital and Day Nursery
is making an appeal for funds to
help support the two institutions
The one at 2O7 Washington street
is for white babies and another at
700 French street is for colored
children. II is pointed out that 81
will keep a baby a day; 81 will keep
a baby a week; $40 will keep baby
month; S365 will keep a baby a
year.
The Babies Hospital ana Day

ago by Bishop and Mrs. Coleman.

lsmall house in the southwestern part
Of the city Money was hard TO
get in those days and the need was
great There was no Child We'll
fare, Children's Bureau, or Chill
drens Ward in the Delaware Hos
pital, therefore, the building was
very often overcrowded and on one
occasion Mrs. Coleman put up her
life insurance policy and jewels as
collateral for a loan to tide them
over a tight place.
In 1894 the building at 2O7 Wash
ington street was purchased. Fif-
teen years later. owing to crowded
conditions. the adjacent house was
bought and in 1917 a third house.
211, was added, 10 be used as a
kindergarten and day nursery. A
house at 7O9 French street was
equipped for hospital and day
nursery for colored babies. This
gave four houses for hospital and
day nursery work.
The public is always welcome al
either hospital, where a graduate
nurse is in charge OF sick babies al

Many interesting and pathetic
cases are cared for in both institu-

There's a tramp just in
With a battered stack,
With her paint all dingy
And her stays all slack;
Like a tough old harpy
That is drunk on gin
She has wallowed homeward-
There's a tramp just I'M
She is filled with guano
And some wet raw hides,
And the seaweed's CROWN
Halfway up her sides,
And she smells to heaven
And she looks like sin.
She's a hard old hooker
There's a tramp just inl
She doesn't look romantic
But she is-to me,
For she's been a ploddin'
Up and down the sea;
When / sorta figure
What she's done and bin.
Well, II kinda thrills me-
There's a tramp Just int

As she hogged and wallowed
Like a poor old bum.
But she brings in visions
That I dream about,
And-I may be on her
