NAUGHTY 'LIZA.

Painful Christchurch Story.

Sixteen-year-old Girl m Trouble.

Another young girl has gone to the devil m Christchurch through lack of proper parental control. Her name is Eliza Henshaw, and she was able to get out of her parents' house at night, the usual thing following: She developed a penchant for the streets, and ran away from home a few; times. God knows Where she slept* or who she slept with, but at all events she is only a kiddy of sixteen, and her mother got on her tracks, the result being that the police were made* cognisant of her carryings on. They bad her oharged m the usual wav and it was pitiable that a youngster— well dressed and well set up— of her age should be before the court on such a disreputable change as being, an idle and disorderly person.

However, she had her mother at hen side, and she intimated to the court her willingness to enter a Home.; She told Mr Bishop that she did desire to reform and that, she didn't want to drift on the downward path any longer. She was ordered to come up for sentence wlien called! upon; Lay Evangelist Smail , undertaking <that the .youthful immoral person, for whom , the streets had such a great fascination, should be looked after for a period during which time it is hoped that she wil* regain her normal senses. \
