! In many happy homes of Wichita yes
/ terday there were prayerful thanks given
TO Omnipotence for the blessings OF the
| past year and many sumptuous dinners
| eaten, but in none of them were there SO
| many happy hearts, nor SO much OF gen
uine good cheer as was exhibited in the
| dining hall where the newsboys and boot
| blacks of Wichita were served by the
| young ladies Of the Frances Willard 'Y."
These little fellows fairly reyeled in the
good things Of earth yesterday and were
veritable kings for day
Thanksgiving day and this dinner. had
been their theme OF conversation for
weeks and they were living in joyful an
ticiDation Of the event.
The young ladies OF the Frances Willard
''Y' concluded to furnish the newsboys
and bootblacks of the city with this din
ner, and right royalty did they redeem
their promise to the boys and gave them a
spread that will make the average news
boys mouth water when he sees il again
II his dreams.
All day Wednesday the ladies were
busily engaged in receiving donations for
the dinner and arranging the dining room
in the Sedgwick building. Besides the
many baskets and bundles Of edibles
donated by the good people OF Wichita,
many gentlemen dropped in ard gener-
ously drew their purses on these charitable
and benefcent young ladies and were
rewarded by smiling thanks.
The Francis Willard ''Y' is a national
organization and is also divided into state
organizations. Miss Laura Woodcock is
80 he md
has inaugurated the Wichita branch,
which is as yet in its infancy. 1t was or
gauized last March and is composed of
ffty-seven members; forty-five ladies and
twelve gentlemen The gentlemen are
only honorary members and are admitted
upon taking a pledge OF total abstinence
and al agreement to become christian
helpmeets The work is known as the
flower mission. but during the winter
months they have substituted the work of
distributing literature among the poor Of
the city.
The officers Of the Y are as follows:
President, Miss Gail Caldwell; recording
secretary, Miss Mollie Jones; correspond
ing secretary, Miss Minnie Stever; treas
urer, Miss Eta Slower, with one vice
president from each church in the city,
some of whom are as follows: Miss Josie
Miller. senior vice. of First Presbyterian
church; Miss Rilla Taylor, Of the Friends
church: Miss AIDA McV lear, OF the First
Baptist church.
The dinner which these ladies prepared
yesterday for the boys is but the begI ming
of a broader field of benefcelce toward
the little fellows of this city who have not
been blessed with the opportunities Of
those more favored. In the near future it
is the intention of the Y to secure rooms
and establish a night school for the boys
who are obliged TO work all day on the
streets for a livelihood for themselves,
and often for those older who are dear
to them and who are incapacitated by
illness or other misfortunes These rooms
will also be used as club room for ladies,
particularly for ladies who have no home
in the city.
