By Evelyn Nesbit. I
. Chapter I.
I'm married. My husband is j
ln New York now, and that's
where I came from originally.
It seems a long time since we
were married, but it'can't lie so
very long, because I'm just 18.
I am now locked up a prisoner
of the Juvenile court.
I always got along pretty well
in New York ihefore we were
married. Then I started ' west
with a show. It wasn't hard
work. The girls were paid from
$12 to $18 a week.
Chorus girls have no harder a
time keeping good than any girls
do. It's no harder for a chorus
girl at $15 a week to repel men's
advances than for a shop girl at
$6. In fact, it's very much eas
ier. A chorus girl has to keep
straight. The work is exacting
and if she doesn't keep right
chorus she doesn't keep her job.
• In Seattle I met Christine Neal.
She's been sentenced to Whlttler
until she's 21. But then she was
as good and sweet a girl as any
body could find. And I was all
right, too.
We came to Los Angeles on the
boat after the season ended. On j
the way down I was convinced
that Christine was all right. Men
tried to talk to us,' of course, but
they didn't get very far. We had
a good time in San Francisco
and were careful and got along
fine.
When we reached Los An
geles I thought all. our troubles
and our dodging, all our need for
caution, was ended. But we were
both sadly fooled.
After a few days—l h»d a lit
tle money— went down to the
beach. We went to Long Beach.
When we went out in our bathing
suits everybody spoke to us. It
was the first time I had ever hit
anything like that.
I thought maybe it was the
custom here; California had al
ways seemed to me to be an out
landish sort of place. Nothing
surprised me. • So we answered
when they spoke.
Before I'd been in Los Angeles
a week I found out where a lot
of the danger lies. It's in the
mashers on the streets. I never
saw so many mashers in my life
as I have here. If a decent girl
stays out after dark, and even
in the daytime, she's accosted.
I You can't go down to the corner
drug store to telephone without
having some man speak to you.
But we passed up the street
mashers. Then I found that the
masher in his worst form existed
In the best hotels. At luncheon
in. one of the swellest downtown
hotels I, for the first time, had a
man come up and make' a
straightottt invitation to me while
I was sitting eating, with a wait
er not 10 feet away.
I didn't want to make a scene,
so I Just started fat him. He
dropped his cane and almost ran
away. I never saw a fellow of
his type yet that wasn't a coward.
After this fellow in the hotel
had departed, I paid my bill and
got out. That Is, I aimed to get
out. But that lobby was a reg
ular -hotbed of mashers. Two
more bowed and grinned and
tipped their hats and when I got
outside I was mad clear through.
Then I met the man I blame—
I just blame one man.
t makes me laugh to hear men
criticize unfortunate girls. Men
are the responsible people In cv
. cry case. .Yet they have the
; nerve to ' blame us.
;?' I liked this fellow then. But
oh, how I detest him! now. .. Our
cash was j running I low when we
met. ,He had a , big tan automo
bile and he himself was an en
gaging, strong fellow and I went
out with him.
. We went to the Vernon Cottn-

Mrs. Mary E. MeManus was
the first woman in Pierce county
to receive a mother's iiension. The
court has passed on her applica
tion, the examiners who investi
gated her cause reporting favor
ably, and Mrs. MeManus will re
ceive her money.
. After much theorizing, Pierce
county will now put the mother's
pension theory into practice.
Why Is Mrs. McMauus entitled
to 32,5 a month from the county?
How >will she spend it?
And what will the county get
In.return for its money?
In tin* first place, the money
that Mrs. .MeManus will get every
mould will not lie - charity. The
word "pension" is misused in this
regard. _„. V. . . .
„ Mrs. -MeManus will become an
employe of the county. Her sal
ary; will be' 925 a ' mouth. Her
work will lie 'to ' feed, clothe, I
house, educate and train three
children — Charles P., 13;, G.
Clement, 0. and J. Parker, 7.
'. If Mrs. MeManus were unwill
ing *.r unable or unfit to continue
to ■•iulwrtake the care of her chil
dren, they would become charges
on the county.' \ It would cost all
of 925 a month to keep them in
an Institution,.
And the work would not be as
wel} done as Mrs. -MeManus will
do fit. For the- best -Juvenile in
stitution -in the world • is less I
qualified to bring up children than the mother of those children—
if she happens to be the right kind of a mother. ? ". .J
And Mrs. MeManus is that kind. :
? Mrs. MeManus was born in Maine, a daughter of a Baptist
minister. 'She and her husband came to Tacoma three years ago,
and MeManus opened a small tea and coffee stand In the public
market. .;•■■.. ..■■":••'- f ..■ --. ;
':. Nearly two years ago he tiled. When the estate was settled up
the. widow had just $230 in the .world.' By the time she had recov
ered from the daze into which her grief had plunged'her and'adapt
ed herself to the.great .change which the death of her husband en
tailed, -, the $___,*>(>.xvas gone. . •-* - - ■.',-.
£ She has supported herself and her children by taking in wash
ing. '■' ..'-.. ' ._ .;"■■ ' ■ - ■■ ' '■'
-„ Today she had two washings in the tubs and a third waiting.
Tonight her boys will. deliver the clean clothes. She was up at ;4
this morning. She will not leave her tubs until 8 or.later tonight.
y. Her income is variable. She is a tiny woman, and not strong.
Perhaps this week —it has been a good one—she will earn $5. ..Her
rent for the basement at 1711 South a street is $1,0... . j . "ii
•^ Last Tuesday the children went break fast less to school. This
doesn't happen often. It ought never to happen. '-".?."_•* -\ '.'.'
--. . In considering the rase of Mrs. MeManus and her pension, leave
sentiment out. ,He hard-hearted nnd cold-blooded and businesslike.
When Mrs. MeManus is in receipt of her $25 monthly, she xvill
continue to work at her tubs. She is ambitious for her boys. She
likes to tell of their prowess in school. She is proud of them, and
want- them to succeed. ■:"'■:''■ ' '.'.-■-*•
VSo she will.-continue to work at the tubs. And the money so
earned will be added to the $25 to give them a good home, good
food, education. '.',. \ y '.' i-• .- •■..•->,
y r' The county wants good citizens. . Good citizens are an asset,
juSt as bad citizens are a liability. That's business. Mrs. MeManus,
being the right kind of a mother, will bring up her boys to be good
citizens. . - :■.•;■-.''.", :—:;•'. ''X-y . ■ ■' ■"•' A •,--.. '-■"' A yy_:l
■ :{' She will spend her tub money as well as her pension money
to that end. .The, county gets an employe who is willing to do more
than she is paid to do. - '-■.'.-'■ -.- • - •-,'-...?
f.£? Now look -at the reverse side of the picture. -
