Mrs. Fred Belts, the secretary of the asso
citation, who attended the recent conference
In Baltimore, read an interesting report Of
the conference.
Then came An interesting address by the
president, Mrs. j. d. Dana.
She said: cit has been great pleasure tc
the managers of the Young Wemen's Chris
tian association that 10 many friends have
been interested to attend their ninth annua
meeting and hear the story Of the years
work. We thank you all for coming, and
are sure that 20. will congratulate rs on the
L 1t L. k-As
which we hope will make our lady friends
and liberal supporters feel their confidence
was not misplaced. We rsjoiss In all w
have been enabled to do for the working
girls of our city, but We long to do more, anc
We will ask you to bear with US while We tel
you Of our desires and sar difficulties.
Oar frat wish il for large building, will
homo. Here the tired worker would nnd Sc
clusien and quiet, which oan hardly be looked
for whore many from outside are constantly
under instruction.
We rejoice In our classes of bright girls
full of interest In improvement, bat every
year strengthens the conviction that on
homo and slassss-the private and the ppbli,
work will prosper most in separate build
ings. When this new building is complete
We can arrange public hall from the cas-
wing of the present home, and provide
pleasant place for our monthly entertain
ments where all can sec and hear; a. also
proper rosm for our religious gatherings
Now all these evening gatherings are held /,
two small parlors, whore few can see or hsa
satisfactorily.
We have most desirable location, an,
own, free Of inoumbrancs, land enough TO
the building We require. A good beginning
has been made in collecting the nsoessar!
funds. 1t IL too nuch to hope that thil
great want, the new and larger home, mai
be supplied before the close Of the first de
cade.

short address. After sulogizIng the worl
of the association In this, ~ we'll a. In othe
cities, he said: sit seems to me the mos
useful part of it's work would be the obtain
