FAMILY JARS SUNDAYS BRING BIG DIVORCE RUSH MONDA YS Hvcry phase of human emotion, an patently every vnrletj of trouble in the universe, spills itself into the ears of sympathetic, helpful lLstener.s at the city s recently organized legal nid bu rcuu six dnjs of the week. Hut Monday Is (lie da of days, ac cording te Mr.. Marv O'Hellly Hen. one of the women Investigators. "Sunday gives people n chance for famllv council and Monday finds them (Kli'nK our office in City Hall," said Mrs. Ilea "The week-end brings te most of these people release from stren uous work. Prem thinking of earning their dnilv bread they turn te family troubles Thex held councils of war and solemnly decide what is te be done. That iswhv Monday morning is se in tensely Interesting here. ' Krem ever section of the city, of mnn nationalities, with everj sort of complaint they come te us te ask nd nd tec. There is humor and pathos, romance and tragedy, pettiness nnd de ceit, as well as strength nnd goodness of character exposed te our view. It Is a wonderful privilege te be able te help ns we can here." Mrs Ilea is the sort of person any one in trouble would like te tnlk with. Interested, sympathetic, generous and with a sense of humor, she just nntur nllv flrnws out their Innermost secrets. j then helps folks patch up their quarrels i!Cr- utl! II KI'.ILIA Kli.V auvnv was made later in the evening. He was born In Baltimore lu 1840. and was In his seventy -fifth year. Grad uating from Haverford in lGS with the degree of bachelor of arts, he joined the facultv of that Institution In 1878. and in 1SS2 was given the degree of master of arts. He held the chair of history at Haverford until 101'J, and at the time of his death wns librarian. Widely known as a historian, he had written extenslve'y en both Araerlcnn and European history, nnd was the author of a history of the American So ciety of Friends. He retained marked pliynirnl vitality until early In November, when he had his first seizure, and from which he had eemingly entirely recovered. Surviving members of his family nrc a son, Edward, of New Yerk, and a daughter. Marian. Funeral arrange ments will be made today. Kcxwh All Wltli Helping Hand Whether it Is a pretty girl displeased with her dressmaker or a youthful hus band threatening te kill n rival, she reaches them all with her helping hand. "A lovely lad came te me the ether dav," she' suld: "he was spluttering with rage, muttering that he would kill the fellow.' 'Oh, pshaw j Don't be slllv," I told him He bad expected me te' get excited with him, nnd be came quieter when I refused te be dis turbed. Then he poured out the story. Seme fellow was flirting with his sixteen-year-old wife and he was 'gun ning' for the gui'tv man. He had a letter the rival had written n-sklng the girl te meet him that night. I talked with the husband, then sent for the rival. I persuaded them all te confer together nnd decide calmly what they would de As u result the young folks are happy nnd the 'rival' has ceased te treub'e the little wife. "There nrc dozens of cases like that, ns well as many silly quarrels that we patch up. There ure deep problems' concerning mothers' relation te their daughters. 1 get the story from one side, then from the ether, tnlk like a mother te them nil and before they realize It they are baring their inner most soul. We have aided In hundreds of landlord nnd tenant enses, helping the peer te combat Inercnscd rents, nnd helping them obtain decent places In which te live. Brought Support for Deserted Wives "I have had two cases where soldiers married Philadelphia girls, deserted them, went West and again mnrrled. The girls appealed te us. We have traced the men, found both of them earning geed livings nnd have made them send money for the support of their wives and babies here. Se you see the legal nid bureau is already far reaching. "There arc neighborhood qnurrels and eh ! Hew I want te tnke people away from the city nnd rut them in the country when I hear such troubles. In virtually every case it is congested living conditions that cause all the trouble. These peer people need room for their children te grew in the fresh air nnd sunshine. "There nrc broken old mothers who come te us with tales of sinning chil dren. Often we nrc nble te bring the son or daughter back te the right way of living with a new scn-e of duty nnd ambition. "Of course, there is another side. tee," smiled Mrs. Rea. "There arc many funny things that verge en the pathetic. Once n woman came te me saying she wns under the Influence of Themas Kdisen. Thnt wrii startling te say the least, but 1 determined net te show It. 'Indeed,' I answered, Ms Mr. IMIsen n Philadelphia man?' The woman grew Indignant nnd explained the life nnd history of the famous In ventor. Nhe snld this mnn made elec tric lights pluy round her bed every night In weird manner. 'Isn't thnt in teresting,' I ejtclalmed. 'Hew de you suppose he manages it?' 'Why, I'm nut sure,' she confided, 'but you see I am gene during the day, nnd I think the plumbers ceme In and fix things for him.' "I had a new vision here of the versatility of plumbers, but I wns un nble te help the wemnn 'come out from under Mr. Kdlsen's Influence.' I "There was nnethcr unusual case 'when a man wearing dark glasses nnd led by n tiny deg en a chain, came In te I ask me te pecsunde his wife net te Heave him. He snid he wns n southern , gcntlemnn who had become blind and was forced te enuiin uis living uy sell ing pin cushions en the street. lie couldn't, he said, keep his wife In lux ury, but he loved her nnd wanted her te stay with him. When I talked te the wife later, she proclaimed him nn imieBter, n drunkard and various ether things which wc found wcrc true." Toe Much Mether. ln-Iiw "There Is n case I am notching new, where I think I have reconciled n hus band und wife who had been hnvlng tee much mother-In -Inw inlluencc en both sides. They are just children them selves nnd have a beautiful baby. They had decided te separate when they came te me. the girl und her mother first. I told them the time had come when the young folks must decide things for themselves nnd net "depend en their parents, I talked te the husband about the baby. When he left there were tears In his eyes, lie shook my hand and said: 'Ne ene has ever talked te me like that before. Thank you. I shall go back nnd talk te Elsie.' " These nre only n smatterlng of the cases that Mrs, Hen nlenc hns cared for recently. Since the legal nid bureau was organized last August mere than WXK) cases hnve been cared for there.
