Here it i^: T»0 LET—By tb«- hour or day. tor the enter - 1 tatnm- nt of wealthy trat childless ladles, a bright, beautiful golden-haired little Rtrl. neatly dressed. 5 years old. A child to rent is something anu.-Tial, even in this age ot fakes and frauds, and it led a correspondent to inquire into it, and he sought out this child that is let out by the hoar or day. The child came to the door in response to the knock. Ifyonwaita minnte mamma will be down," said the little girl. "She is fixing her hair, yon know, before she goes to the office. Mamma works as a typewriter, and that's just the reason why she reots me oat. She can't stay with me her-elf, and so she lets me spend the day with nice ladies, who give me candy and Co wers. The ladies haven't any little girls of their own, and the pay mamma to let me visit them."' At this point the enterprising mother entered. She was a widow of youthful ap pearance and quiet manners. "I suppose," she began, ' that you think it very heart less of me to rent oat my little daughter in this manner. Bat it isn't really so. Kitty and I are alone in the world, and I have to work for her support. While lam at the office every day the child would have t<> be left alone had not this plan been sug gested to me by friends. At first I began by letting Kitty g<> to one lady for one day a week. Then another lady asked leave to hire the child, and before long we bad quite a number of patrons on oar list. "Seeing the chance to make money and at the same time to keep Kitty constantly amused. I decided to advertise. I only permit Kitty to remain out daring the day light hoars. My charges are usually $2 a day, or a quarter an hour. The ladies tell me that Kitty is the greatest pleasure to them. She is very clever, and hardly ever cries." Here Kitty took the floor again. "My name." she said "is Kitty, bat at nearly all the houses I visit the ladies give me different namef. At one place lam call ed 'Tera.' That is the name of the lady's own little girl, who is dead. At another place I am 'Marguerite.' I like that name, because it sounds so grown-up My other names are Blanche, Marie. Mollie. Dorothy. Mabel, Lillie and Freda. A very old lady calls me' Maude,' because I am like her sister, who died ever so long ago. Sometimes I get mixed in my names, anj don't answer when they call me. • Many ladies send their carriages for me or take me out shopping with them. They always say that I am 'a little cousin from Philadelphia.' That is not true, of course, and I dont like to be told I come from Philadelphia, but the ladies are so nice to me that I let them tell all the stories they want. "How do I like being rented out? Oh, I like it well enough. I was real lonely while mamma was away, but now we are both out working at the same time. The gentlemen that visit houses where I visit give me presents and want to kiss me. I think they do that just to please the ladies who hire me; don't yonf' Further description of a rented out in fant was here interrupted bv the arrival of a smartly appointed brougham, with a crest on the door panel. The conveyance was sent for Kitty, who straightway trot ted off to make herself neat for a day's outing. It saved his boy's life. Mr. D. A. Curry. Conductor C. i A. K. R.,Slater.
