FRIENDSHIPS. J. A. Crenshaw
Mrs. William Simpkin, corresponding
secretary Of the Association, read her
annual report setting forth In detail the
work Of the Association for the past year.
The report was a comprehensive and well
read paper. and was listened to with great
interest. The following interesting facts
are CLEANED therefrom:
The Society, which has been in operation
six years. has done a splendid work. and
now occupies one OF the most elegant
and complete homes in the country. COM
prsng a large double brick house at I'll
east Franklin street, purchased two years
ago.
This property they have paid for with
the exception of $500 on the purchase
money, and $500 recently expended in re-
pairs.

now furnishing a home 10 forty-hve girl
bread winners, and help in lifting the
burden from their hearts by caring for
them physically and spiritually Nine
tcnths of these come from the counties
Of Virginia and while the Society has
principally provided for these, they have
lot Teen forgetfu 10 entertain ST, rangers.
and the kindly matron has sought and
obtained employment for forty young
women during the year. The moral
atmosphere Of the hone is inviting. and
the girls within its walls arc contented
and apprcciative ~ the protection and
privileges they enjoy.
When this commOdiOus and attractive
home was first occupied last September
mach expense was involved and the
furnishing Of additional rooms was
grave question. The president suggested
that each denomination should furnish a
room. and this plan was readily adopted,
and there are now seven extra rooms
ready for occupancy, and two others
nearing completion.
one Of these rooms furnished by the
Friends Is designated the quiet Room,
and is intended for the use Of the sick.
Tho Kings Daughters Of Park-Place
Methodist church furnished another and
the Misses Stewart and other friends
newly furnished the parlors and more
fully equipped the library

improved, and the kitchen thoroughly
equipped without expense 10 the Asso-

served affording a return Of S36i32 An
