THE Central Young Women's Christian
Association opened it's new building, Al
Penn avenue, yesterday with a reception.
The house was fragrant with the scent or
flowers and merry with the voices OF the
ladies who were making their guests feel ut
home. The whole house was thrown open
to the public, and many were the expires
sions of admiration on all sldes.
A full description OF the building was
given in The DISPATCH several days ago
The members of the Board OF Maha9eHS,
comprising some Of the bestknOwn society
ladies in the two cities, acted as reception
committee. The organization has 400 mem
bers, although it is not yer quite year oId.
Monday morning the serving OF IuncheonS
at the association rooms will be commenced.
The managers want it particularly uhucf-
stood that all girls are invited whether they
wish to buy luncheon there or not. The OBJ
ject of the association is not to make money,
but to afford comfortable resting place Tor
the young women of the city.
THE annual meeting of the Children's
Aid Society of Allegheny county was held
yesterday afternoon at the dispensary build
ing, Sixth avenue. The reports from the va
rious departments of work done for the
year were read showing that III children
had been cared for. The society has taken
in 80 children during the year. The number
of deaths for that period was only four.
Homes have been found for a number of
children in good Christian families, while
sick children have been taken TO different
hospitals to receive the best care that can
be afforded in such institutions. The soci-
ETY. is not very well known, because it has
never asked the public for money. 1t has
been supported entirely by private subscrip-
tion, but now it has been determined to ask
for outside help. This should be forth
coming easily in view of the character of
the work done by the society. For seven
years it has been taking care children and
has undoubtedly saved the lives of hundreds
of innocents. The thanks of the society
were rendered to the following ladies Tor
clothing donated for the children: Miss
Morrison, Mrs. II. Hines, Mrs. Darrah, Mrs.
Schafer, Mrs. Ritter Mrs. Gregg, Mrs. Nc
Canoe, Mrs. AletOn, Mrs. Kiefer, Mrs. Ram
sey, Mrs; Kriebel and Mrs. J. ,. Harris.
Society also sent clothing. Contributions
were received from Mrs. II. J. Heinz, Miss
Morrison, Mrs. NJ. W. Shafer, Mrs Gregg,
Mrs. Moore, Mrs. B. F. Woodhouse, Mrs. A.
X. Wallace, Mrs. Simpson, Miss NJ. Boyd,
