from embarrassing tangles and assist
ignorant young girls by tui*ning them
over to the Siuvouinn Home until em-
ployment and friends could be found for
them.
"tit-andpa, isn`t it marvellous that Mr.
Chotek can spenk so many languages?

A bit of comedy mme as n relief when'
n stupid but honest faced Polish woman
gave her age as twenty-eight and claimed
an eighteen-your-old daughter who str/od
beside her father beyond the line of
desks. Much questioning ensued, caus-
ing obvious distress tn their simple minds.
Finally the transparent honesty of their_
lzuilelcss faces and manner won the day.
and the members of the little family were'
reunited. J
Prudence had noticed a. tall, handsome
girl among the caged women, who bore
traces of distress and excitement on her
olive face. The interpreter now np-
pronched her and began asking questions
first of her and then oi’ a. matt and woman'
who had come to claim her. Evidently
there were discrepancies and the girl he-
gan to weep. The woman "witness"
had rt child in her arms, and she put it
down on the floor in order to indulgo
more freely in gestlculatory expllnn-,
tions. ‘

conversl-ii with the girl, and when its
r<~t.urned Prudence asked him what tho
trouble was. ~»

liven detained for sevcrnl days," he re-
plied. '"1‘he man came alone the first
time and claiinell to 'be her broth:-r_ hut:
