Smyrna, August 29.-Mrs. George II.
Raymond and Mrs. Mary X. ID. Ell
bridge were in Wilmington recently
looking after the work being done in
ST. Michaels Nursery and Hospital for
Babies. Too much praise cannot be
given these women for their untiring
efforts to have the institution clean
and in good order when the children
return from Atlantic City. The Kent
county managers have done their full
share. 1t seems desirable that a more
widespread interest should be taken in
this institution that opens its shelter
ing arms to those who have no protec-
tors If parties are able to pay the
managers accept. If there is no one TO
pay, they are cared for all the same. 1t
is a state affair, ir,nonsectarian, taking un-
der its care infants from any part of
the state, children from a month old
It is the only institution in the state
that makes any provision for helpless
infancy.
