The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-09-13

Every year seems to see some sweet
charity arise in our midst. Last week the
opening of the Baby Ward" at the Tel
fair Hospital, carried out the idea which
was indicated some time ago in THE
Home for Little Sufferers" All of the be
Iongings Of the home" have been given
TO the Telfair to help in the new ward.
It's lovely airy room, opening out on the
broad veranda at the back. and giving a
cheerful outlook to the little sick ones of
the flowers and the fountain on the lawn.
The walls Of the room are of birds egg
blue. and are varied here and there with
attractive nursery pictures. Eight little
beds lie side by side, and already four of
them are occupied. Rather a strange COIN
eidence 1t is that Margaret Telfair DouI,
the first little baby born in the hospital
ten years ago, should be the first little
patient in the ward Two nurses from the
baby hospital in London will arrive shortly
who will take charge Of the ward. This
marks the carrying out Of a long needed
charity.
Savannah has always been able TO boast
of her women, but lately the field Of wo-
mans work has widened so. that the latent
talents Of many have only recently come
10 the surface. I was reminded very forci-
bly, Of this the other day, when discov-
cred that a very clever little story, enti-
tied Sara Crewes Little Game which I
had read in Munseys had come from the
pen Of a Savannah girl. Some points in the
story give promise Of a very successful
writer.
