ENCOURAGING REPORTS OF
 MOTHERS AID SOCIETY.

Mrs. J. B. Sargent EptsrtaIns Members
 at Her Home on Elm Strest-A Very
 Successful Year Reported for Leila and
 Hope Day NuFserfss-OaIcers Elected. The annual meeting of the Mothers Aid society and Leila and Hope Day Nurseries was held yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. J. B. Sargent, 51 Elm street. and was largely attended by the ladies of the city, who have given much of their time to charitable work. Most of the old officers were re- elected for another time, showing the appreciation with which the report of their work was received by the mem bers of the society.
 The reports of the different officers of the society were read and each and every one of them showed the two nurseries, which are supported by the society, to be in fine condition. The 1O7 Hill street respectively.
 The report of the corresponding sec- retary, Adele Townsend Kingsbury, made by her in the absence of the sec- retary, Miss Theodora Van Name, who is in Europe, is in part as follows: We have come once more to the close of successful year in the work of our nurseries and we are able to an- nounce that the much needed addition n fhn at1a t.ae
 made. It was commenced in the sum- fer and completed in December, mak- ing the building comfortable for the large attendance which, owing to Miss Bush's very efficient work, steadily in- creased. Owing to the efficient and conscientious work of Miss Palmer, Hopes n1atron, the attendance has largely increased, so that the subject of enlarging the accommodations has been under very serious consideration. The, number of children taken care of throughout the year was 10,651. Number of women who have been given work through the intelligence de- partment was 7.774.
 Early in the autumn number of lit tie girls who were interested in the nur- series began to work for fair, which ! they held in November. Mrs. Freder- ick Hotchkiss very kindly offered her l house for the purpose. As everything sold was made by the children, they cleared about s10O, for which they de- serve large amount of credit. | It was feared that early in the win ter the scarcity and high price of coal might prive a very serious problem. but it was most happily met by the tact full planning and purchasing by the treasurer and the careful management of the matrons, so that both nurseries were kept amply supplied until spring. 1 In order to meet our expenses, which must naturally increase with the growth of the nurseries, we shall be obliged in the early autumn to give an entertainment of some kind to raies necessary funds. It has not as yet been definitely decided what it shall be. 1 The following officers were elected to serve the society for the ensuing year: 1 President-Mrs. J. B. Sargent.
