If family wants to take her into their
home to live with them and assist with the
work, we send the girl and she works for her
board. We supply her with clothing This
enables families which need such a girl
but cannot afford the financial outlay to
adopt her.
I'VE require large and constant supply
Of clothing here, for when the children come
in their clothing is usually burned at once.
They are then outtitted by us, and then
when they leave here they take the clothes
We have given them along. Of course, we
do not object to families with which our girls
work giving them clothes, understand. but
we assume the responsibility Of clothing
them ourselves except in exceptional cases.
1--WE are very careful also, not to send
a girl that We know Is not good to children
to family having children.
1--WE allow parents of children sent here
to pay little for them if they can. This
is for two reasons: to aid in the support
Of the child and to keep up tho interest OF
the children The parents also may, if they
wish to, visit their children here.

larger than n backsmith's or made n pur-
chase in store more pretentious than the

interested to see the city we were 100 per

on the journey down by train and Hudson

he visited everything from the Zoo to the
