'There could not possibly be a n city in the world in which thero are so many private charities as in New York, Most of them, too, are conduct- ed on the broadest and most sensible lines, and thero are many of them which do good in such a manner that the beneficiary is not made to feel' the comparative hnmiliation of his position, The institutions which are kmown as day nurseries are very fair- examples of this form of real and sensible charity; - There are many women in this-city> whose busbands earn barely enough to.. support two persons in the plainost pos- Bible manner, Consequently when the babies come the terrific struggle with real, grinding poverty begins.
