HAPPINESS COMES TO
UNFORTUNATE FAMILY
Delicate Little Ones Restored to
Health Through Efforts Of
ChiIdren's Bureau.

This happy little family have been
under the care OF the Children's Bu-
reau for more than year. They lived
in the country with their parents.
but mother was very sick and for q
long time the oldest child kept house
and took care OF her mother as best
she could. But II was very hard TO
look after the smaller ones and try to
see that mother had what she needed.
Then came the day when the mother
died. trusting that in some way her
children would be cared for.
The father, a hard working man
tried for a few months TO keep HE
little family together. helping with the
house work at night. He did not realize
that his children would not receive
proper care or the food that they re-
quired and that they needed some kind
womans care. Their irregular life
soon affected their health, so finally
he made up his mind to ask for help
He called upon the Children's Bureau
who took the little ones TO a doctor
He recommended that they go &c
Sunnybrook Cottage.
For six months they were cared for
in this place and they ran and romped
and grew stronger day by day. Wher
they were well again, IT was found thai
the father had no place for them, sc
they went TO the Children's Home al
| Riverview.
1t is hoped that before a long while
| their own home Will be re established
and all the youngsters go back TO then
father. He is very grateful for wha
the bureau has done for his children
and is proud TO have their picture:
| in the paper today.

MISSOURI WOMEN MAKE
NEW RECORD IN SEWING
BY Endless Chain Scheme They
Turn Out Enormous Amount
of Work.

While much interest has been mani
tested in sewing in Wilmington dur
ing the past months. II has not ap-
parently reached the height Of that
taken IN the art by the women OF
Jackson county. Missouri, who would
undoubtedly win prize for the novel
Idea that has governed their work. IL
such were offered.
Reports OF the work Of these wo-
men for brief period showed that $40
persons had been instructed, directly
or indirectly, in sewing. 1775 gar
ments had been made. 1893 had been
remodeled. and 1oS patterns had been
cut out or altered. To stimulate in
terest in the work demonstrations were
held from time TO time.
The endless chain" idea was used in
instructing the women. The sewing
class started with eight women, who
attended a training school. Each OF
these women promised that she would
instruct eight other women when she
returned to her community. This they
did, and some Of the women whom
they instructed taught groups OF their
friends. so that in reality an endless
chain was formed in the instruction
work.
