 to our many donors to emphasize in detai
 our experience of generosity, taking thu
 form of sentiment.
 Nearly all of the private rooms at tn,
 Grace hospital have been furnished il
 loving memory of dear relatives. It would
 take too much time to tell you the tende histories connected with each room, snt
 of all the loving hearts and willing hand
 that have reached out to help us. Indeed we had more kind friends wht were willing and anxious to furnish room than we had rooms to furniah. The fol lowing ladies furnished private rooms Mrs. E. Hayes Trowbridge, jr., Mrs. E. H
 Warner, Mrs. F. G. Phipps, Mrs. 0. s ! Lockwood, Timothy Dwight, College stree l, Sunday school. The Kings Daughter furnished the children's ward.

 The Christian Endeavor society gave tn money for 8 bed and the furnishings They wish to renew the furnishings, an' to care for patients by visits of cheer flowers, fruit and many comforts. Our first year has therefore been mos ? suspicious with promise for the future I and we do not doubt this will be realize I in the establishment of this hospital upo firm and permanent basis, prepare
