Among those whom we have to remember, with thanks, for ser vices volunteered as instructors are Miss Lindsley and Miss Bartlett who have regularly taken charge of large class in embroidery. Also Mrs, Rowe, | who conducted class in literature in ! a most interesting manner. During the 1 winter several talks were given on Tropics of the Day" which were great | ly enjoyed by the members of the home. | The young women who received valued instruction in practical nursing, given l by Mrs. Dr. Peckham, have been very 1 successful, many of them having ob- 1 tained regular employment since grad l uation. Calls are constantly received from physicians requiring such servi e | as these young women are capable of rendering, viz, attendance upon the sick and aged They do not claim the | title nor the wages of trained nurses" l A day class in practical nursing was

Already it has been l found necessary to start a second class I in plain sewing. The number seeking I admission to all of the classes greatly 1 exceeds that of former years. l One hundred and thirty-five associate members have enjoyed the privileges of 1 the reading room, classes and library,
 to which forty-three volumes have been 1 added l The devotional committee having in l charge the weekly prayer meetings re- l port an increased attendance. Among I those who have led or addressed the l meetings were Mrs. Hume, Mrs. Charles Ives, Mrs. s. B. Ives, Miss Landfear, Mrs. Adam, Mrs. Macphie, Mrs. Dicker- men, Mrs Champion and Messrs. Scar borough and Lynch. Invitation is ex- I tended to friends to attend as added l interest and profit would be assured by l their presence

 The committee has felt greatly the | absence of Mrs. Hume, who for many ! years has been the inspiration of their work, but they are strengthened in the ! knowledge that although at present un- l able to give active service, the work 1 so long loved by her is kept in prayer 1 ful remembrance.
 | It has been found impossible to fur nish as many entertainments as for | merly, the disarranging of the dining ! hall resulting therefrom proving too | great an inconvenience. Notwith- standing this, however, several very de- 1 lightful ones were given. Among those who kindly contributed to this part of the homes social life were MT. and Mrs. Joseph Porter, Mrs C. E. Sargent Miss Denison, Mrs. Wish no and Miss Wells. An interesting Ice ture was given also by the Rev. Dr. l Lambert of New York, whose subject was the Holy Land.
 The season closed with a class recep- ton; at the same time an exhibition of the work of the industrial classes was held.
 We were called upon during the sum- mer months to part with two of our number-Mrs. F. W. Watterson, who died in Glasgow, and Mrs. D. S. Thom- as, both of whom were actively interest ed in the work of the home. Thus another year closes. With hearts fun of gratitude to those whose ready help has enabled us to meet the de- mands of our work, which yearly broad-
 ems, we go on trustfully and with con- fidence, aiming to provide a safe and
 happy home for young women who are
 striving to become self-supporting. IT

 of the home and the loving care of the hOme-keepers.
