straint and according to the child's
statement, she was turned out to
earn her own living, there is some
chance for her reform.
A poor little girl of fourteen was
found that had gone astray already,
She was taken to the T. A. Home, her
father came for her and with our
aid she was placed under safe care
and good influences. She is so young
that there is a chance for her future.
A few cases that will illustrate
how we protect girls:
A young girl arrived from Texas,
en- route to Tennessee; man she
met on the train tried to persuade
her to remain in New Orleans a day
sightseeing with him; she was an in
nocent girl and was easily persuaded
to 60 straight through; the agent
| placing her on the train in care Of
the conductor.
On request of the Travellers Aid in
New York, our agent met young
French girl who came here to be mar
ried. The young man was at the
depot when she arrived, with the mar
riage license and had made arrange
ments for an immediate marriage.
The agent accompanied them to St.
Patrick's Church where they were
married, acted as witness and re-
ported to New York that all was
we'll.
The conductor brought young and
pretty girl, who had struck up an
acquaintance with a young man on
the train, he wanted to escort her to
her home. The agent took her in
charge, and accompanied her to her
home.
A little girl came through the gate
accompanying a soldier, his wife was
there to meet him and the little girl
started to 60 off with another man.
The agent took her to her home and
reported her conduct to her mother
A young girl arrived from New
York, man accompanied her, the
agent suspected that something was
wrong, so she approached the girl
asked if she desired information o.
assistance. 1t DEVELOPED that she
expected to be met by relatives an(
had made the acquaintance of youns
man on the train. He left her bu
asked her to telephone him at one O.
the large hotels, this she greatly de-
!, sired to do when she found that sh,
had to remain all day in the city, bu
the agent phoned the friends an,
took her to their residence. The cir
has since written to thank the Travel
ers Aid for their care. She probabl,
realizes that she escaped the danger
A young married women with .
little child was taken from chauf
feur who was going to take her t
the wrong place, and having informed
her that her train left that night in
stead of the morning, the agent tool
her to a hotel.

and colleges, and those who are alone
are escorted to their destination. Rel.

through are assisted to get lunch and

The Travellers Aid has become a
Civic as we'll as charitable organiza.
ton and has endeavored to organize
on a business basis.
The City has recognized this by an
increased appropriation, which we
endeavor to earn by faithful service
Caring for those Mr.. Patterson of the
Charity Organization calls, "The
City's transient guests" returning un-
desirables to their homes, preventing
others from becoming a public charge
and endeavoring at all times to well
come and aid in making comfortable
trangers arriving and departing.
Since the War many organizations
have dissolved or have limited the
sphere of their work, making addi-
tional demands upon US.
Our Home and our Association has
become clearing house for many
charities which in turn aid US, so
there is complete cooperation and no
duplication. To accomplish this we
have increased the number of Agents
and their salaries. The added eX-
pense has been met and we close the
year without debt, though the last
few months have been somewhat Of
an anxious struggle and we hope by
another year to increase our income
so as to meet all demands and leave
a small margin.
This income is supplied as follows:
From the active members, who to
their $1.00 dues add a great interest
and readiness to work and help, which
makes it very desirable to add to
their numbers, and from what may
be called an intelligent sustaining
membership, by which we mean firms,
and organizations who subscribe be-
cause they understood the work and
appreciate it's value to the city; they
are, therefore, liekly to give US a
steady support from year to year, as
long as we deserve it.
We have been obliged to use the do
nations to cover our ordinary expenses
but we hope to add enough members,
to use these donations for emergencies
and to form a sinking fund, to pur,
chase our own home. This will not cost
more than from $4,000 to $4,000, and
Il is our hope to realize this dream,
when the present heavy demands upon
the Community are fewer and the
passing need Of other organizations,
not 50 great. We hope that when
this day comes, our generous bene.
factors may be inspired to contribute
to the purchase of the Home.
Three years ago our income was not
fourteen hundred dollars and we were
obliged to call heavily upon a small
savings account to pay expenses. Our
efficient predecessor and her Board
were badly Handicapped in their work.
As our needs and services were more
generally recognized, our income
steadily increased, until it has met
our expenses up to the present time,
but we have difficulty in paying our
bills of the last three months of the
fiscal year, and hope by new members
and the prompt payment Of old sub
scribers to close March 1st without
debt.
The officers receive no salary. D.
H. Holmes gives it's hall for the meet
ing, and the whole income is expended
for actual work. There must be some

expansion, however, next year, littl
larger income.
| We hope to develop our work TO-
steamships and have made good be
ginning with the people coming AM
ing from the Tropics, who need hell
and information.
We have added two agents for thi
year, at an expense Of 500 month
Our working force consists of foul
Agents, one Special Agent, two Re
lief Agents and a Matron for thu
Travellers Aid Home, and as our worl
expands the incidental expenses o.
telephones, kilograms, relief at tht
depots, etc., are greater and our eX
penses this year will amount to abou
$8,400.00, and we must collect thi!
amount or close the year in debt.
Each agent has regular schedule
by which they meet all trains, night
and day ;give information, meet al
travellers and aid in keeping the de.
pots safe for girls and women.
The Travellers Aid Home is ir
charge of a tactful and efficient Ma.
tron, and to it are taken all who neeo
temporary refuge. During the
year we have assisted twenty thous.
and, four hundred and fifty-nine peo-
pie. Nine hundred and eighty-one
babies rested in the Kings Daughters
beds. Between two thousand and
three thousand people were directed
to hotels.
Our chief work this year, as always
has been the rescue of girls. The
Travellers Aid Home has sheltered
one hundred and five girls; many ar
rive without friends or money and
are persuaded by the agents to 60

operation are dissuaded. These girls
while not imbeciles, have a mentality
below the average.
It's a common thing for women anc
girls to travel with just enough money
to make trip, if they must transfer

when they stay overnight, they are
helpless and the young and inexperi.

cases they are taken to the Y. M

to get high wages and are in peril
