Prompt Aid: Required -
For homeless Orphans
Public Making Generous Response to the
Appeal to Assist "in^Providing;
For Sisters- Wards:
of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, were
loud in thftir praises of The Call's gen
erosity and initiative in the matter. :
' "It is a great work The Call is un
dertaking," said Sister Helena.* supe
rioress ot the orphanage,' "and certainly,
it is deeply appreciated by us and by
those of the church men and women
who have the welfare of the orphans
deeply* at heart. We feel sure that' a
large sum will be realized, and. of
course, money is our first and crying
need. We can not keep the children at
the other orphanages without paying
something toward their support. We
have sent 100 of our- children to. Los
Angeles, and it is too much to expect
the sisters there to bear the great ad
ditional expense. The money sent to
The Call has come as a godsend to us
and relieved us of care that we hardly
knew how to meet. -We can not express
our gratitude to The Call and to those
who have so nobly responded. God -will
bless -them."
Children Scattered
Of the children, nearly 600, who y ere
brought from the burning building in
such a marvelous manner through the
calm courage of the sisters, but few
are now in town. , Besides those who
have gone to the orphanage at Boyle
heights, Los Angeles,, many/ have gone
to Santa Barbara, others to Hollister
and a large number to Santa .Cruz, the
sisters having homes in jeach of those
places. Nearly 50 of the older girls are
at the St. Francis technical school at
Geary and Gough streets, conducted by
the sisters, and in 'reality, a postgrad
uate school for those*" girls, who pass
the age for the orphanage and have
no one to care for them in the world.
,The sisters were sadly worn and
wearied yesterday after the excitement
and danger of the day before and the
great demands made upon their execu
tive ability in disposing of and caring
tor the children, but they were contin
uing their arrangements for the future
with unabated energy.
It is probable that the children will
be together within- a fortnight again.
Arrangements ware made yesterday to
establish the orphanage for the present
in the big building at Ellis and Frank
lin streets, where the sisters conducted
their school before the flre, but leased
since then until recently to a business
firm. It is now vacant and will be put
in order at once. It is felt, by the sis
ters that it is particularly necessary to
get the children in the city again.
"It is hardly fair," said one of them
yesterday, "to keep the children away
from those who belong to them. Think
of a father with several children under
our care whom we have had to send
to Los Angeles; or a poor hard working
mother — is it kind to keep her child
where she is denied the. pleasure-, of
seeing it occasionally^ We must have
all the children back in the city."
Supplies Needed '\u25a0-
' For those who are not able to meet
the primary demand for. money, another
opportunity will be vouchsafed to help
the sisters and their orphan charges.
Furniture will- be needed for the new
home. Little single iron beds with the
proper complement of linen, bedding
and pillows, china, glass, chairs and
-tables. Then, too, provisions will be
needed. It takes a great deal to feed
500 little hungry children. Clothes of
all kinds will be acceptable, too. It
likewise takes a, great many garments
to clothe orphans who have had every
thing burned. People who lost their
all four years- ago will doubtless ap
preciate the predicament of these little
women and - respond with much.
Promise of J.hcnecessary school fur
niture has already_come from a furni
ture company. ';_\u25a0;>
Then there is another thing which is
altogether > a matter; of ; sentiment, vbut
to those, who know something of the
heart of a'child it will appeal as
strongly ! as- the' need- for tables and
chairs. As the little orphans wept-be
side the burning; wreckage of their
former home, ; many tears went up for
the dolls -that" died 'therein, for' the
favorite ! picture jbooks, , the games, the
woolly- lambs '• and the" other animals,
grotesque; ".perhaps, j but beloved, - that
were now. a part of- the general scheme
of things. .: ,;. " / ;
So -let us hope that there will be a
ransacking ,within: the, next fortnight
