L
Widow Weeps As
Her 3 Children
Are Given Shoes
Mother, In 111 Health, But
Struggling Bravely for Lit
tle Ones, Is Deeply Grate
t ful for Gifts.
Three little children, a boy of 3
and two girls of 5 and 6 years.who
were provided with shoes by The
Bee's Free Shoe fund yesterday,
live in a miserable, Wo-rooni hovel
their mother, a widow, who
toils all day over the wash tub and
e(ces oijt her living by going out to
work.
Her health is poor but she works
bravely and unsparingly for the lit
tle ones.
Tears came to her eyes when she
saw her children provided with the
new shoes. They had had none at
all before.
Money is needed badly by the
fund. The call is very great. More
such children of misfortune and
poverty are waiting for the shoes
that mean so much to them.
Send a contribution to The Bee
office for this necessary work.
Every cent will be used to buy
shoes for just such desperate cases.
