The Kings Daughters Day Nursery,
located at No, 1910 Market street, is one
of the youngest charities in the city. II
was organized last April, by the City
Union OF the society. whose name 1t
bears. and has been conducted ever
since by board of managers compos-
ed OF ladies elected from the different
circles OF the Kings Daughters in the
city. That there was n need for such
a charity her has been fully demonstra-
ted by the wonderful success of this
undertaking,
During the first fifteen days after II
was opened there were forty-fve en-
tries, OF course this was In house clean
Ing time. when there was plenty OF
work for women by the day Numbers
of women were thus enabled to earn
money and at the same time know that
their children were receiving good care
and proper, wholesome food. The price
for each child is five cents per day, A
competent matron is In charge and the
children soon become so attached to
her and to the nursery that they often
refuse to leave when the mother comes
for them, and are carried home weeping
and wailing
The nursery consists OF three rooms,
kitchen, bedroom AMI pday-room, each
kept in an excellent state OF cleanliness.
The play room Ia bright, cheerful
room, fronting on Market street; the
walls are papered with French paper

Illustrating Mother Goose and fairy tales.
Toys and books of all kinds are provld-
ed for the children's amusement Clean
aprons are also in readiness and several
iron beds with their white covers, In
vite the tired little ones TO sleep, which
they frequently do.
At present the nursery has, besides
the translents, quite number of chill
dren who are regular boarders, the
youngest OF these being two months old,
the eldest n little girl of six years.
These children belong to women who
could not keep them at night, as they
are employed TOO far away to be able to
go after the children at night and to
return them TO the nursery In the
morning.
The board Of managers feel very
grateful to the public for the kindness
and generosity shown to the nursery in
the past, They have decided to have
Wednesday, October 10, as Harvest
Home day,when donations of every kind
will be gratefully received at the nur-
sery. Potatoes, groceries, canned vege-
tables and fruits, dry goods, bed clothes
and money can all be made use of. The
nursery Is open for inspection at any
time and every one interested is cor
daily invited 20 call.
