the hands oil W. r. Castle. and the
ladies who have the work Of provid-
ing the institution for the young
working women Of this city have de-
cided upon a scheme to raise the

is believed that the shares will hnd
q ready market among the women Of

The Rev. ]. osborne and Mrs. Us
borne have furnished the ladies OF the
Association with a sketch Of q build
ing for the Home and. II II is follow
ed. the plans proposed will furnish
a unique and business-like structure
for the young women.
The scope of the Rev. Usborne's
drawing includes a substantial two
story building, surrounded on three
sides by wide lanai. There will be
thirty rooms in the building and each
OF them will open directly upon the
lanai. In this manner the rooms viii
be made about as cool and comfort
able as any in the city. There will be
a large drawing room on the first floor

room and laundry will be situated In
the rear of the establishment.
The building will cost about ZIG 600,
and the furnishings $500. The Home
Is to be in nowise a charitable, insti-
tuition. as the women who wish to
avail themselves OF the opportunity to
live In II will be charged . reason
able amount for the right. The ladies
or the Association expect the Home to
be self-sustaining from the start ~
cause there Is no place In Honolulu
where young women who work for Q
living can obtain equal accommoda-
lions for the price which will be asked
by the Y. w. C. A. The ladies are
Justly enthusiastic over the apparent.

undertaking and they are looking for

ing of the Home.
