TRAVELLERS AID WORK
TAKES MANY FORMS
Specific Instances of Assistance to
Children on Long Trips Cited
in Announcement.

How children are safeguarded on
long railroad trips where many
changes are made is illustrated by
the announcement of the Travellers
Aid Society here of the following ex-
ample:
Four-year-old Elsie Williams ar
rived in Washington and Immediately
was taken in charge by the workers
al the Union station. who made her
comfortable until time came for the
Richmond train to depart. At Rich
mond the society put her on the train
for Newport News, and from there she
was cared for by the Travellers Aid
until she reached Norfolk. her desti-
nation, where she was met by her
family.
Other Instances Given.
Other instances of the work being
done here by the society follow:
Very late one night this week
Travellers Aid worker interviewed a
ten-year-old boy lettering in the
Union station, and the child explained
that he proposed a trip north to see
his grandparents. In preparation for
the experience and to learn how to
be man" he had made up his mind
to investigate night life and find out
for himself how things were being
conducted at the Union station. The
Travellers Aid workers thought the
boy should be at home, and they got
in touch with the parents. who shared
in that belief and came to the station
to recapture their too-ambitious child
In another instance a mother with
two babies, bound from West Virginia
to Baltimore hospital. missed train
connections and was stranded in the
Washington station. The Travellers
Aid interested one of the hotels in the
case and obtained lodgings, but dur
ing the night one of the children be-
came quite i'll, and, upon an appeal
from the philanthrophic hotel keeper,
the society again took up the case
and transferred the travelling mother
and children to a hospital. Now
everybody is well and happy, and the
mother and her children have been
sent on to Baltimore. where the wom-
an is, no doubt, telling how the lady
with badge" stood by her in all her
troubles in Washington.
