money to take care of her comforts
ably at respectable lodging place
until she can get work or return
home and she should know where
she is going to stay when she does
J arrive at her destination, Miss Duffy

she should, know what time. her
Z; train is .duesin the city, how she can
get to where. she, is going and just
: exactly: where she. is going. especial
ly it she arrives at night" Miss Duff
fy- said.
"If~you know ahead of, time that
you are going to travel to a given
point, you should write to q hotel
which you. are sure is able to take
! care~of you ,properly, or to the Y: w.
!C. A. and tell them that you are
