THE CHTLDREN'S HOME.
It Is Now an Assured Fact That
the Chiidren's Home Will BE
Built.


the Chiidren's Home Will BE
Built.
Although the world has known many
large eXpositions in its history, in none
of theseh avethe interests of the chill
dren received the full representation
they have deserved. Such charge
cannot be brought against the manage
ment of the Columbian exposition. In
1t, thanks to the forethought and labor
of the WOmen'S auxiliary, the chlldren's
| home is now an assured success.
| The matter has been put in the hands
of an especial committee, whose chair
| man, Mrs. George l.. Dunlap, has al
ready received enough money to begin
| the building. In many cases it would
| be impossible for mothers to
attend the worlds fair without
| taking their children with them. The
| chlidren's home has been designed for
the care of the children whose mothers
may bring them and leave them in a
! beautiful home where they can have all
the care in every way that the children
III our most luxurious and modern
| homes receive. The home will be built
adjoining the woman's building. A
| lovely court will be provided for the
| children to play in, and trusty at
| PENDANTS will watch over and care for
! them. The Chinese and Japanese rep
| reSentativeS have promised to supply
! the toys, and we all know that they are
| masters of the art OF toy making. The
| German and Italian commissioners
have already sent supply of
! books. full of such lovely stories
! and pictures for children as only
! those imaginative people can write and
| paint. 1t would be impossible to tell in
! a short article oil all the beauties and
! wonders of this model children's home.
| 1t is meant to be an educational as we'll
| as an accommodations institution.
| Lectures will be given on the most ap-
| proved modern methods of sanitation
| and dress. Kindergarten teachers will
supervise the children's amusement; in
fact, everything will be done to make
| the children intrusted to the care of the
home happy and comfortable, while
! their mothers will be free to visit the
various departments of the fair, care
free.
Contributions will be accepted from
. any source, but it is hoped that the
women and children of the land will be
especially interested in sending money.
Checks should be made payable to Mrs.
George L.. Dunlap, chairman and treas
urer of the children's building commit
tee, 1913 DEARBORN avenue, Chicago.
Another matter that has been under
consideration by the WOman'S manage
ment is the building of family dormi-
tory. This also is now an assured fact.
The work has been placed III the hands
| of another committee of women, who
| are backed by some of the most substan-
tiai business men of Chicago. 1t will
be built within few moments walk of
the exposition grounds, and a cheap
mode of conveyance will be provided
, for those who wish to avail themselves
of It. The expense to the occupants
will be at the rate of so cents per Gay
for each member of a family. Shares
in the building fund can be had at $40
per share. The holder Of share is en-
titled to the use of room to the amount
OF the price of his share.
Mrs. Potter Palmer will open bazaar
at her home Dee. Z and s, where beauti-
| full booths will be filled with all sorts of
! lovely things from foreign lands will
be offered for sale, as well as simpler
and less costly things to suit the small
est purse. The price of tickets will be
