There was cornerstone laying at the
corner of Arch and Eighteenth streets,
Philadelphia, few days ago that was a
novelty. The building had been con-
structed to the third story, and the stone
was placed at that level directly over
the main entrance; but as women were
managing the affair they called 1t a
CORNERSTONE" The structure is that
of the Women's Christian association,
and not only does it show the work of a
noble organization, but the building is
In every way worthy of its purpose.
When completed it will be eight stories
high, with a roof garden, will be built
Of stone up to the water line and above
that of buff brick with granite trim
mings. 1t has frontage of l32 feet on
Arch street and III on Eighteenth street,
and will accommodate $50 working girls,
who will have the benefits of training
school and various educational facilities.
The basement will be occupied by the
laundry, supply room, boilers, rooms for
the training schools and rooms reserved
for educational purposes.
The object of the work was very beau
tifully set forth by Rev. DIR. John Hemp
hill, pastor of the West Arch Street
Presbyterian church, in which the re-
hgious ceremonies were held, as it is on
the corner opposite the new building.
He emphasized the fact that the Wom-
ems Christian association is not engaged
in reforming the fallen, but in preserv-
ing that which is pure. 1t is to encour-
age good work, to make life more So
ciable and agreeable for girls who would
otherwise be lonely and sorrowful. He
told of the good work done by this
branch in its present home, where 500
meals per day are served at mod
crate cost and many other worthy chart
ties conducted. In its new home the
association will rank among the first
organizations in Philadelphia.
