terday Afternoon.

The last mothers meeting. prior to
the summer vacation for the kinder
garten children, took place at the
Young Women's Christian association
rooms yesterday afternoon.
The session was made more than
usually interesting by the presence of
Miss Underwood, of the central city
Young Women's Christian association,
who spoke at length on the value Of
Kindergarten work. She stated that the
institution was almost supported by a
few interested persons and that unless
something is done before the fall OPEN
ones, 1t is feared the good work may
have to be abandoned, as the burden,
so nobly borne for Years, has become
too great.
1t was suggested that If the new No.
s school should materialize. that an
effort should be made to have one room
set apart for the kindergarten. AT the
close of Miss Underwood's address, a
social time was inaugurated, with
games Of various kinds. during which
refreshments of ice cream. cake and
cocoa We're served.
The last session OF the kindergarten
will take place at the Young Women's

propriate exercises, on Friday, June 12
