es. Girls On The Streets" Her

&c. c. I won't mention her name.
Too many people want to know lust
who writes it. A little suspense
and uncertainty will create continu-

In your last weeks paper, c. c.
you told of the colored tenants NOV
ing into the Sojourner Truth homes
in Detroit which reminds me that
I visited many of the homes in the
federal project here in Omaha.
They are real nice, and quite mod
ern, aren't they c. c?

/ Here's a short human-interest
story, c. C. While working quite
late one night last week a little girl
! came into the office, almost crying,
and certainly very frightened. 1t
must have been past midnight.
Upon questioning I learned that her
name is Elizabeth Branch. That
she is thirteen a old and that
she goes to the school across the
street. Her mother, Mrs. Myrtle
Branch, 1867 Ida Street, promised to |
meet the little girl after the show
and take her home. The youngster |
waited and waited, in front Of the
school, and finally after midnight.
came over to the office to see if we
knew her mother. Apparently.
something slipped up somewhere.
and, also apparently, Ida Street is
a long way off. The child did not
know what to do but by questioning
her we discovered that she had a
grandmother, Mrs. Lulu Christie
pher, living just a few blocks away.
and following our suggestion she
went to stay with her grandmother
for the night. Just imagine. c. C. |
the little girl obediently waiting. in
front of the school, till after mid
night and too frightened to even
think of going to her grandmother's
home? What do you suppose the
sequel is to the story? Did some
thing happen to the mother?
CON-
Jesse Whitley, 1928 Burdette
Street, who has been confined in 4 !

glitter the talented Miss Mandarin
Jones, musician, informs me.

And another Whitley-Mrs. Char
les Whitley, 2605 Grant Street, who

for a couple of years is much bet.

Met an interesting chap, Edward
Groomes, 1905 Decatur Street. He
was interesting to me because. this
past winter, he ran from New York
to Miami, and of course we chatted
on points of mutual interest at both
ends and all along his run. He is
nov running to Ogden.
