Generous Reformer.

Miss Augusta De Peyster is a charming young lady ,of Knickers bocker descent who does noble missionary work among New York's floating sailor population. Miss de Peyster's work is unique in that she believes in helping the sailor, no matter how prodigal or dissipated or nonconforming he may be. She also believes in a very generous, very liberal type of charity. Ofter her views are expressed in epigram, as: ”” “Don’t scold a reprobate, for men are like eggs—left in hot water they harden.” Or again: “As long as virtue is its own reward, it is apt to be spasmodic.”
