HOME OF THE FRIENDLESS DONA-

Notes of Interest.
At the monthly meeting of the man
ayers of the Home of the Friendless,
held this week, it was decided to hold a
donation day visit on May "a. The an
nual donation has been held in Novem-
Der for years, but hereafter 1t will be
held in May. 1t has been thought that
the November donation occurred too
near those of the orphan asylums and
that it would be better all around to
change the date. The home is just now
very much in need of aid and it is to be
hoped that the response to this call will
be liberal. Since the home has been en-
1arged, the expense of maintenance is
greater and this deserving charity is
just now in need of the consideration of
all it's friends. There is hardly a day
that there are not applications of people
desiring to enter the home, but to ac-
commodate any more some additional
contributions will be required.
