It's a "lueitlon naked a dozen times a day In the waiting room of the Union rlnflnn. AVnm tt-ltti lintlfK ft tpnvl. I'crpIeM-d and dlstrosrcd, many an Inex-1 per!enced girl .pr helpless woman lma ' found help In Mrs. Clara Mead, th Traveler's Aid of the Young Women's Christian association. Thero are numberless girls who lose their tickets; -who arrive In Omnha -with no money; who miss connections and must be sent to rooms to spend tho night; who, total strangers, como to the city with no Idea of where to bo, and who have often made questionable acquaint nnces on route. They know nothing of the Young WoraciVa Christian association up In the business district where just such glrla are helped and It is only through Mrs. Mead that they learn of the organization at all. Mrs. Mead performed some doflnlte servlco In the last year for over 4.000 girls. Sho directs them to suitable room ing places; or sends them to the Young "Women's Christian association employ ment bureau, where communication with I heir relatives is sought. Ono morning Mrs. Mead found waiting for her four children, all under IB years of ago. They had expected their mother to meet them and she had failed to do so. Through the long day, they sat watching the elevator. Imagine their disappointed faces when at 8 o'clock she had not come.' There was nothing to do but to write to the mother, care of general delivery, and take the children to a room over night The next morning In the thorough investigation, Mrs. Mead located the mother, who had failed to rocelve a letter saying the children were coming. She hastened to the station and the family was then reunited. An Illttstrntlve Case. A cane i which might easily have been (rugla was that of a young girl from Illinois. She came Into the station, av pectin to secure work promised to her by a "gentleman friend." Investigation revealed the place to be a very question Able one and. upon Mrs. Mead's advlio, the girl decided not to go. The man ap peared at the station Just then quite In sistent that the girl accompany him. Its was finally prevailed upon to leave the girl In Mrs. Mead's care. She was taken to the Young Men's Christian association and, through the' employment department there secured wetk. KlAerly warned wha travel alea receive nearly as awefe net? from Mrs. Meat aa do Use youcer warn and glrU. One ild woman traveling siese to Canada. mlsaed her train aw? waa ferced to re main here over nixht. Sfee had a friend living la the outskirts of the city whom she had not seen for twenty rears. It was Impossible te reach her by telephone and there was a little doubt as to the address being correct. The Travelers' Aid. not wishing to send such an old woman so far alone, took her to the friends home. The meeting of the two so long separated, was most pathetlo b. all anxiety and care were soon forgotten in the happy visit that followed, In actual figures, 4,100 women have been served by Mrs. Mead in the last year; Si have been sent or taken to rooms dt y ttt'tly from the station; forty-eight have been directed to tho Young Women's Christian association employment bureau. Mrs. Mead ts the connecting link be tween the small town or country life from which girls have come and their future lives in the city. Through her direction to tho Youns Women's Christian associ ation, the girls there find fellowship and toclal life which result n safe friendships among the association girls throughout their stay In the city.'
