Every afternoon they invite several hundred poor women to spend an hour in the conservatory among the flowers.

Every evening with stereopticon they take a thousand boys or men upon a journey to Italy or Egypt or Japan.
The kindergartens, public schools and art exhibits cause these women and children to forget for a time their misery.

One hour daily is redeemed from sorrow to joy by beautiful things and kindly surroundings.

Love and sympathy have sheltered them from life's fierce heat.

Bitter lives are slowly being sweetened.
