1 Haven for Children Whose Mothers Go Out to Work ina Great Danger, Away from Noise — First of a Series by The Even- ing World. Some of the charities of the city of New York are like that quality of mercy de- scribed by Portia in “The Merenant of Venice." The work is done quietly. It is done in places removed from the throng. It is beyond the bustle, And those who minister go about their work unostenta- tiously. The benefleiaries are those who, in after years, if not now, will rise up and ealt blessed those who give their life to the work. THE EVENING WORLD has hunted up in whieh the work is deserthed just as she Sound it. The articles will appear from time to time until each charity bas been fully noted, The article following is the Stable Creche. NO. 1. THE LITTLE CHARITIES OF NEW YORK, By Zona Gale.
