The annual pound party of the Young
Women's Christian association took place at
the associations building on Chapel street
last night. The spacious rooms were thrown
open for inspection, and many people inter
ested in the association took occasion to be-
come better acquainted with the good work
there being carried on. An efficient corps of
managers, the superintendent and the ma
tron answered all questions put by the numer-
GUS visitors. A very attractive programme
had been prepared for the occasion. Misc
HARDWOOD and Master Stanley Wright togeth-
er rendered very pleasing piano duet. Miss
Annie Dutton sang finely, and the Misses
Deming rendered duet charmingly.
There was a song by male trio,
and then came the address of the even
ing by the Rev. w. w. McLane, D. D..
During his address, which was very meri-
torious and explanatory of the work of the
Home, he told how it had been started and
contrasted the beginning days five or six
years ago with the present range of instruc-
tion given, and the well ordered capacious
and attractive Home of the present time. DR..
McLane referred also to the noble work done
by Jennie Collins, of Boston, poor working
girl who founded similar institution. He
spoke of what great amount of good the
Home was doing in this city and what a
great aid the Home is to girls in needy cir
cumstances, and how they were taught and
bettered by the instructions given there and
thus made better able to battle with the
world. He closed the address by an earnest
e., \ haxyo ynrlv rTaE1

piano duet by Miss HARDWOOD and Master
