Of tha causes which bring tha little
ones nere, it is hardly necessary to
speak In detail. : The usual reason ta the
desertion of tha little family by tha
father. Tha - mother must turn bread
winner and ao, reluctantly, aha puta her
Uttla ones Into other bands and bravely
faces tha future. A little brother and
alater I aaw whose mother, cruelly de
serted by tha man who bad promised to
"love and ta cherish' la working bard to

three of tham to tha Baby home. I Two
