Miss Clara C. Giddings. matron of the
Y. w. C. A.. assisted by members of
the household, is preparing a Christ
mas box to be sent to the home mis-
sionary in South Dakota, who has been
remembered by the home for the past
two years. This missionary, Mrs.
Griftiths, has, in addition to her own
large family, taken into her home 10
little Indian children to teach and care
for 1t is planned to send In this box
mot only toys and games, but picture
cards, articles of clothing, pieces of
ribbon, pencils, etc, as Mrs. Griffiths
writes that everything is made of use
in her family.
One of the long-felt wants of the
Y. w. c. A. Home, and one the fulfil
ment of which would add greatly to
the comfort of the larger proportion
Iof it's members, is sewing machine.
The only one in the building is in
the class room, and this machine is
lowned by the educational branch. Dur
ing the winter there are classes every
might in the week with the exception
of Saturday This leaves a very small
proportion of time in which a large
number of members have to work. A
careful canvass Of the home has dis
closed the fact that more than two
thirds of the members do the greater
part of their own sewing.
The want is very plainly manifest
land It's fulfilment would be greatly ap-
preciated by all. To this end some Of
the members are preparing an enter
Itainment to be given some evening
early in January. The entertainment
will consist of a short play with must
call selections and reading.
