Margaret, “Our Mutual Girl,” was not destined long to enjoy the company of her old sweetheart, Bob King, for he was called back to the city. He kissed Margaret good-bye as he left the farm, “I won’t forget you” was his cheery farewell. The next day “Our Mutual Girl” felt a longing for the city, so kissing her mother good-bye, she took the train back to the metropolis. On arriving at her aunt’s home, Margaret found that Mrs. Knickerbocker had received a letter from Ada Taylor, the little girl whom “Our Mutual Girl” rescued from an East Side dive and placed at work in a big department store. Old friends of Ada’s from the days when she frequented the dance halls had hounded her, with the result that she had lost her position, been arrested and sent to Blackwell’s Island. Margaret immediately railed up Dr. Katharine B. Davis, New York’s woman commissioner of corrections, and made an appointment for the next day. That evening “Our Mutual Girl” saw Mizzi Hajos and Charles Meakins in “Sari,” the musical comedy success reigning in New York. The next day Margaret called on Inez Mulholland Boissevain. She interested the famous woman lawyer and suffragist in Ada Taylor’s cause, Mrs. Boissevain went to the judge in the Jefferson Market Court, had Ada’s ease re-opened and secured an order for the girl’s release. Armed with this order “Our Mutual Girl” accompanied by Commissioner Davis went to Blackwell’s Island. There she had Ada released and fur the second time Margaret took the little waif home with her. |
