MONEY is needed to prosecute the work
of the Oakland Day Nursery and Temporary
Home. 1t was established year ago and
| proved at once successful. Hard working
mothers through it have for the first time had
their minds relieved from the ever-present
dread of what may happen to their children
in their absence. To continue the work
more money is required. With this in view,
| the Whatsoever Circle of Kings Daughters
will hold bazaar and supper III the chapel
of the Oakland Methodist Episcopal church,
| corner of Forbes avenue and Boquet street,
on Friday afternoon and evening. They
will be in charge of these ladies:
Fancy Table-ChaIrman. Miss Mary Mckee;
Mrs MCGOWAN, Mrs. Chantler. MIS-. van Alrk'

Supper will be served from to 8 o'clock
by Mrs. March and circle of Kings Daugh-
ters composed of IA young married women.
IN spite of certain efforts the Woman's
Christian Association is still houseless. At
the meeting yesterday afternoon in the Y.
NJ c. A. building reports were heard from
the committee for this purpose, called the
Site Committee. A week of grace has been
given to it. But on next Thursday the board
expects to definitely make up its mind to
and tI,no ic kad oil
present something worth accepting. Mrs.
William r. Thompson's resignation was
formally presented and formally and regret
member of the board, position
less onerous and less responsible than
that of President. She also gave practical
proof of her friendship by gift of $1,000 to
be used either for rent or other necessary
expenditure. Now the association thinks It
is "house builded upon rock"
The one other matter of importance was
the appointment of Mrs. James B. Scott as
temporary President. She will hold this
place until either an election or the annual
in January takes place. 1t is just possible
temporary Presidentship no successor to
Mrs. Thompson will be elected until the
January meeting.
Men as well as women are interested in
the work of formation, and letters saying so
are coming in to the various members of the
board. The State Secretary, Miss Hattie
Dyer, was present at the meeting, but she
left in the evening for Altoona to attend
State convention there in session. Miss
Dyer will be in Pittsburg again on next
Thursday.
The regular weekly meeting of the
Ladies' Aid Society of the Southside Hos-
pital was largely attended on Tuesday
afternoon. There was nearly one hundred
members of the society present. Five new
members were admitted which swells the
total membership to 163. Contributions
amounting to nearly $50 were acknowledged
and several members reported they had
been canvassing for subscriptions and had
received promises of large sums from q
number OF manufacturing firms; The com
mittee appointed to see the Ladies' Branch
of the Hospital Saturday and Sunday Asso-
citation reported that the ladies of the asso-
citation had consented to aid them all they
could to make the bazaar to be given in the
Auditorium a big success
The other committees appointed in few
weeks ago reported that they were progress
ing rapidly with their work and were having
very little difficulty in getting workers.
None of the committee could give detailed
report of what had been done as each
member was kept very busy and could only
present synopsis of what they did.
