Way out on Smelling avenue within
the limits of Hamline is an unpainted
board building, q small affair only one
story high, and whose small windows
are not plate glass. A cheerful line of
smoke issues from the brick chimney,
however, and If the windows are not
plate glass they at least are graced
with dainty curtains, and one feels
some way that if the outside Is un-
painted there is comfort within. And
there Isl comfort of the very best sort.
The rooms are those recently opened
by the ladies of Hamline and are de-
voted to reading purposes, and so far
have proved a blessing to the younger
element of the town who spend many
an instructive hour within these rough
walls which might otherwise be spent
in idleness.
Thursday afternoon of this week the
ladies will give a book reception in the
reading rooms, each guest being re-
quested to donate book as a card of
admission 1t is hoped there will be a
large attendance and that the library
will profit by the evenings festivities
