THE wOMEN's HOME.
SEAuLE March 81 1870


To THE EDITOR: read with interest the
communication signed "K. D." published Sun
day morning. entitled working Girls Club"
and am gratiEed that this subject is being dis
cussed. as such discussion can but result in
much good to the cause of the working women
OF our city.
"K. D." however, was in error when she
wrote "that in city with some fifty churches
and thousands Of good men and women, that
not one hand should be outstretched to avert
such tragedies" The inference drawn from
that statement is thst no effort was being put
forth in Seattle for the uplifting and encourage
ment Of the honest working women, and TO re-
flute that inference is my excuse for rushing
into print.
1t may not be generally known, but it Is
nevertheless fact, that just such home as tx
D" speaks of for working women is now being
built in Seattle. 1t is designed TO be "a work
ing girls clubhouse, where girls away from
home and friends can board IL they wish and
have the comforts and protecting influence of 8
home, or where girls and women temporarily
out OF work can find safe shelter" The women
who have this home in charge sre among our
most philanthropic workers. They are duly
organized into corporation under the
laws of this state for benevolent purposes The
corporate name OF the society is "The women's
Home of Seattle" The object set forth in its ar
ieles OF incorporation is to provide and furnish
to reputable women at Seattle, who earn their
living by labor. and who have no home in the
city, comfortable home at a reasonable cost
and to carry out all benevolent objects incl
dental TO such purposes
But what has the society done in the way of
carrying out these objects?
1 will tell you. 1t has acquired by gift and
purchase two large. fine lots in block 81. Deuny's
Home addition, aud expen1ed more
than eight thousand dollars in building
home thereon They worked carefully and
