Fach case has its own grim problem of charity, which can ‘be met only through the generosity of others.- Rather than see these homes broken up and in the hope also of bringing others together under one roof again, the Associated Charities is calling upon the public for cash contributions in any | amount. Contributions, it was an- | nounced, may be sent fo John B. Lar- | ner, treasurer, Associated Charities, 11022 Eleventh street, or to the office of ‘The Evening Star and will be acknow- ledged directly to the donors, Opportunity No. 1. ‘When her husband died of pneumonia five years ago, this widow started: to work to support her two little girls and | frafl mother; herself & widow.

Opportunity No. 2. Six ha) little girls ranging in age from 5 lgp!!,l should have the careful supervision of their loving mother. "Big brother ' has just turned 16, but his earnings will be far too small to provide protection for his sisters. Mother has tried to teach them to be self-respecting, {Dumifln( young women of tomorrow in spite of a father who has cruslly sidestepped his Tesponsibility And whose whereabouts are unknown. The resulting tragedy of removing the | mother from the home and putting her to work is obvious. At least $25 a week or $1,300 will be necessary if the mother is to remain at home. Opportunity No. 3. Father away from his family because of an incurable disease; an 18-year- old son doing, his valiant best, but ‘handicapped by ill health; another son also weakened by an atiack of pneu- monia; mother praying for the future. And not the ‘least important, the spe- cial pet, 3-year-old Hal, who needs the guidance of a strong father’s love and understanding. This father is totally unable to contribute to the :support of | the family and supplement the eldest son’s earnings, which are so pitifully inadequate for “his - mother, and five brothers and sisters. They need $26 a week,-or $1,352 a ear. 2 Opportunity Ne. 4.- Tragedy has reared its head high in at Jeast bh; m?;m!‘:vg\“;xrr a d;u.xx- en husban al in comj - tiye peace, his deeds remained behind him. Now the mother is faced with the problem of supporung her six chil- dren—one is only 4 years old—with only the help of the two oldest sons, one of whom works after school. To lighten her burden and keep her from being forced to leave the younger children to care for themselves as best they may while she is forced’to do menial labor to put even . bread into their mouths, $10 weekly, or $520 for the year, is needed. Opportunity No. 5. A poor; bewildered foreign. mother finds ‘herself in ‘a.land where :dven the eustoms and language are strange, and she is alone with her responsibilities.

Should -she find work, her income would be. far too small to sup- port: her family. Unless some one steps in and fur- nishes the minimum amount of $23 a/ week (or $1.196 for the year), the alternative ‘is separation' from her chil- dren. ¢ . Opportunity No. 6. More heartbreal by far than, the man who is physically unable to sup- port his family is the man'who, with the skill and ability to command a com- fortable living wage, leaves his family to. bear the brunt of the suffering caused by his moral weakness. What will they do. these six fatherless little children. ranging in age from 1 to 12 years, with only a frall mother between them and want while the father is paying the penalty for his neglect? Are they to be another broken family who vl bear through life the scars of un- happiness caused by separation, or will they get the aid that means happiness? ‘Twenty-six dollars a week, or $1,352 for a year, will bring this happiness. Opportunity No. 7. Fate has played a queer frick with 14-year-old .Johnnie's frail body. But he is blessed with a’ mothier who under- | stands how to make & chap happy. | Edward, his twin, is always considerate and is forever planning something for Johnnie’s amusement with the few cents he, picks up in helping his friends on paper routes. Then there are the two little girls, Grace, the 11-year-old, and 8-year-old Mildred. .Johnnie has 2 pleasant home," for mother has a way of making things look bright and cheer- ful. But father has treated them -all shamefully and left mother to puzsle over the problem of keeping her family together. They need $23 a week, or $1,196 a year. x Opportunity No. 8. For many months lively little Clara showed - the grit of a soldier through interminable hours of suffering. One day she asked mothe? why daddy never came to see her. ~Mother answered softly that perhaps he would some day. But he never did. Now Clara is well again and goes off to school each day. Sometimes she wonders what is to be- come of them now that daddy does not help them any more, She knows that some one must make money o that she and her -three sisters will be able to go, on -to school. She -is so afraid that mother will have to go out to work, and then what will they do? ‘With a regular amount.of $25 a week, or $1,300 for the year, this little family may be kept together, Opportunity No. 9. Not many, no matter how unfor- tunate, are, like little Martha, under the double handicap‘of a probably in- curable physical disability and extreme poverty. Her mother, as onl; breadwinner for her family of five chil- dren, works while all but Martha are at school and devotes her spare time to giving to Martha the care which such & child should have. But, after all, in & mother's scheme of things. food and clothing for her children ‘must come first. They need aid. Sixteen dollars weekly -or $832 - will mean carrying out special plans for Martha and make this home happy. Opportunity No. 10.

Opportunity No. 11. At night after the four little boys and gitls are abed. a young colored mother sits before her cheerful fire and while keeping her hands busy with the mend- ing for which the kindly neighbors pay her, thinks back over the time a few months before when she lived her days in terror and went to bed each night praying for protection against a hus- band half crazed by drink. She remem- bers the suffering of the thinly clad. shivering little children through those | days of cold, hunger and privation spent in a lonely little shanty and blesses those. who have aided her so wonder- | fully, who have given her hope and the courage to seek and find part-time work through their sympathy and under- standing. Then she reflects happily on the daily progress of the children at school and is glad because they take so ! much interest in everything connected with their Sunday school. Can we after salvaging another home from disaster, thrust a grateful mother and her four children back into their old, sordid existence, when $11 a week or $572 for the year will continue the good already accomplished? Opportunity No. 12. Left by her bigamist husband face to | face with the problem presented by her eight small children, a colored mother has not allowed 'herself to become em- bittered. ~Although home-making is of necessity her sole profession, she has made a great success of it. Each morn- ing George, John, Billy, Jane and Annie all go off to school eagerly, faces shining and their ‘clothing spotlessly clean: Teddy, Joe and Margaret, the little ones, play contentedly among them- selves all day. The ‘mother trusts that those who have made this possible will | not- deny her help when the children’s | whole future depends upon the continu- ation of their happy home life. ‘The $26 which is needed weekly (or $1,352 for the year) will prove a sound investment. Opportunity No. 13. A broken home. For not only has the father “totally forgotten his responsi- bility to his family and the mother been forced to shoulder the burden, but find- ing her salary by far too small to meet the demands of a family of five, she has been forced to part temporarily with two of her children. When she thinks of her children growing up without the guidance of a mother’s love she feels that at all costs she must have them with her again. With Christmas ap- proaching she can -think of nothing which would cause her more rejoicing. And $24 a week, or $1,248 for the year will reunite the home and allow " the mother to devote her entire time to her children. Opportunity No. 14. . For many years this couple lived hap- pily together. They have no children and no. near. relatives.. The old- man, who is quite vigorous, would gladly con- tinue to support his wife, but jobs for the aged are few, and .besides he.is nearly blind.
