The ladies' Of tho Aid Society OF tho Found
lings Homo begin to-day their downtown
iunches for the benefit Of the Charity in belnf
Of which thoy labor. They gavo them last year.
and wero fortunate enough to win some favor
and little money. Thoy repeat their efforts
this year. holpou by the experience Of tho past,
aud stimulated by pressing demand for funds.
Tho now building for tho Homo IL not yot COM
plotted. Tlose who have charge Of 1t will not
run iii debt will not borrow aud sutfcr tho mis-
cry OF owing. Dnt whonovor they got little
money the building rises little higher, and
they trust that when it is done there will not be
