A HUMANE PROJECT. 1t is not often that
We open our columns to enterprises that to say
the least, are of doubtful morality in the means
used, whatever the end may be. But 10 the
project to establish comfortable home for the
old, iudigept or disabled women of Virginia we
fiud such Endorsement from prominent and re-
liable gentlemen that for once we depart from
our established rule Our readers outside of
Virginia are not aware of the distress in this
class since the war. Virginia was, we all know,
the battle ground, and the armed coohlct
brought death and deSolation to every house
hold. Since then the loss OF material prosperl-
ty has thrown into actual want hundreds, we
may say thousands, who never before koeW
what it was to want for comforts. The men
can care for themselves. but the helpless wo.
men, especially the sick and aged, appeal pitt
ably to the heart. To meet this home some
thing like the Louise Home Of this city, is be-
ing established 10 Alexandria, and to give 1t
aid serioes OF gift concerts have been arrang.
ed We hope the proposed home Will De sue
cessful, and certainly will if the more charlta-
BILE will give it their several miles, WdSha"qto"
Capital.
