St. Louis for work; she had money to pay a reasonable price for a room; and there wasn’t a room
in St. Louis for her, so she rode all night on a trolley car. 134,000 Employed girls in St. Louis;
27,000 of these girls do not live at home; 496 is the total number of beds in St. Louis for
employed girls; 26,504 girls need accommodations. The Y.W.C.A.–Letmar Club are conducting
a housing campaign for this acute need. . . . She might have been your little girl; won’t you help
us take care of her?”
