The impetuous heroine of Bernie Babcock s "Billy of Arkansas" has discovered to her sincere dismay that the women s workhouse in New York is as dangerous as the night court judge warned her it would be. She regrets not trusting him.

"Bishop," Aunt Nan said one day. "Billy has always been pretty, but it seems to me she is growing more beautiful every day. I look at her and wonder. And she does not act the same either. She was always unselfish and thoughtful, but there is now some strange sweetness, some tenderness, something I don t know what, but Billy is changing."
