A T the time Of the opening of the

tutal fruition was put to work in the
kitchen. Before the day was over a
widowed mother and two babies applied
for shelter. They had been turned into

straits. She was at once put in charge
of the nursery now containing five chill

as matron, serving constantly for two

Washington Has Unique
Home for Young Children

Central Union Mission and his wife, to
translate their cherished memory Of
their own lost little one into prac-
tical benefit for the children who are
the innocent and helpless victims Of
the adversities Of life and the worst
sufferers In all of the countless do
mestic crises that befall families.
THIS came about after an ex-
perience which proved beyond
doubt that emergency relief for chill
dren was not to be secured from the
various child care homes Of the city
on immediate demand. An urgent ap-
peal came to the superintendent Of
the mission to take in two. young
children. whose father, a drunkard
and drug addict. forced the mother to
take her children and find safety for
their lives in flight. The woman had
been sheltered by friends, none of
whom could afford the expense Of
caring for her and her little family
more than a few days. The mother
had to seek work. so she brought the
little girls of four and three years to
Mrs. Bennett at the mission for few
days.
As there was neither room nor
equipment to care for children, Mrs.
Bennett had to make a place for these
two in her own more or less restrict
ed living quarters. When they ar
rived, Mr.. Bennett called up in turn all
of the orphanages and institutions of
child cara in WashinGtan gSh,.t al.

that the league was to get its wish
and the gal could keep her own name

of a gal named Priscilla Margrave
that was proposed to by man named

she could keep on being Priscilla
Margrave and when her husband
name was mentioned she could laugh
