| Mrs. j. o. Coleman gave a very en-
| Joyable reception at her residence on
street last Wednesday afternoon.
About sventy-five of her young lady
friends We're invited to meet the Misses
Matzinger, secretaries of the Young
| Women's Christian Association. The
house was beautifully decorated in
palms and other potted plants. Several
guests rendered very delightful piano
and vocal solos. Miss Matzinger gave
a short talk concerning the work of
the association. She told not only of
the work that is being done, but also
| of much more that should be accom-
| plished to make the movement a sue
cess. They offer to young women rooms
where they may find a pleasant rest
ing place, a reading table, an epportu-
nifty of physical recreation, and many
other helpful things. Too often those
of us who are fortunate in our pleas
ant home surroundings lose sight of
| the joy such place would bring into
the lives of those who are away from
home, with no available way or place
| in which they are able to meet other
young women whose acquaintance
! would be such a help toward happy and
right lives.
J. H. Lawrence has removed to 230l
H street, where he and Mrs. Lawrence
would be pleased to receive their
