GIRLS UNION.
House. Warming at the New Quar-
ters on Taylor Street.

The house-warming of the San Francisco
Girls Union at 900 Taylor street took place
Yesterday, the reception continuing from
O'Clock in the afternoon until 10 o'clock at
night. The union, that has been steadily
marching onward for the past seven years,
has now become one of great prominence
and of much advantage to those that it aims
TO assist. Since the election of the present
Board of Directors an increased amount of
work has been performed. One of the OBJ
jects of the Girls Union is TO furnish
home in every sense of the word to young
and unprotected girls and women. Shelter
has been given to more than 600 girls since
the opening of the institution. In the future
the society will be able to accommodate
many more, as the house recently taken is
one of twenty rooms and was for
merly known as the old Knowlton
residence. Up TO the present time
the inmates here number from twenty-five
to thirty-the charges being for board and
lodging all the way from So to So week.
These women are at liberty to do their own
laundry work or hire 1t out, as they choose.
A residence here OF one year IS anticipated
when it is hoped by that time building
owned by the union will be arranged for.
The present home has. been made as COM
Portable as possible, considering the state of
the treasury. The furniture is old, but ex-
ceedingly clean, and the majority OF floors
are quite innocent of any carpets. For the
pleasant occasion of yesterday, there was
neat decoration of pink and orange drapery.
the most prominent flower being the
favorite chrysanthemum. Four rooms on
the first floor were devoted to the festivities.
