Rest Room for Working Women.


Mrs. c. G. Higbee, to whom the
Bethel Mothers club owes its present
development and its far-reaching
helpfulness, will take charge of these
again this winter. Another room on
this same floor was probably inspired
by Mrs. Higbee. 1t is rest room for
use of working women during the noon
hour. 1t is not yet finished, but will
probably be ready for use in a week.
Every convenience wifi be. provided
and the furniture will include COM
Portable couch and rocking chairs. The
room is near the private entrance for
women, so that it will mot be neces-
sary for the latter to go through the
mems entrance to reach IT.
But though it boasts a kitchen gar
den, an industrial school and wom-
ans rest room. the Bethel. is by no
means woman's institution exclusive
ly. In the big lecture hall ON the sec
ond floor the Mems club of the Bethel
will hold its meetings this winter and
will listen to addresses delivered by
some of the best speakers in the coun-
try. On this same floor is1a smoking
room and reading room well lighted and
well ventilated. Adjoining this is a
billiard room, and in the basement
bowling alleys and gymnasium will
offer variety in the way of sport.
