This has been demon stfated on many occasions. and yesterday there seemed an increase in the degree of Interest shown by the public. The Home was thrown open for inspection. The main building and smaller cottages have been newly painted white and the contrast to the beautifully kept green lawn was exceedingly picturesque. The interior of the Home was in gala attire. The stair case was entwined with vines, potted plants and palms were tastefully placed. and profusion of roses were arranged in the different rooms.
 The visitors enjoyed a delightful pro- gram rendered by the pupils of MT. Rob ert Eilenberg, Mrs. Bennett Grimm, Miss Dora Sternfeldt and Miss Carolyn Cohn. The numbers were as follows:

 The Working Woman's Home Associa- lion is the oldest charitable organization fin the city. 1t has been marked since its beginning by a membership of conserva- tive women whose business sagacity has been in part the cause of its substantial life and growth. Another cause of the deep public interest in the Home is pos Bibly because of the sympathy that is universally felt for the homeless woman, the woman without a protector, the wo- man who must work for her living.
