 RESULT OF WOMANs HUME DAx' A number of earnest and unseihsh women spent yesterday working m the interest of the Woman's Home and their efforts met with gratifying suc- cess. The object was to increase the membership of the Association and thereby the dues upon which the keep ing up of the institution depands. and also to solicit donations from the mer- cantile establishments as well as from individuals. The citizens of Montgom- cry responded generously, nobly and liberally to the appeals made yesterday and the women who worked for the woman's Home exprsss themselves as finding through the courtesy they re- ceived, that the task of begging was not so irksome. There are many in- mates the Home who. though still able to keep up the battle of life by work ing to support themselves, are fast ap- preaching the day when they will have to lay down the yoke and be utterly dependent through helplessness, and these must be remembered. The fortunate must bear in mind the needs of the unfortunate even if though be- ing constantly reminded of their duty | in this line.s Many a noble soul only requires 8 reminder and the women who compose the working contingency of the Working Woman's Home Associa- | tion are willing to undertake the task when the result is as satisfactory as 1t was yesterday. There are many who | were not called on yesterday and they I may yet have the privilege of doing their part. This institution-The Wo-
 mans Home is always with us and is Ealways in need Of assistance.
 Woman's Home Day was one special ly set-aside for renewed effort on the part of the workers of the Association
 but every day is Woman's Home Day with the inmates who find a refuge | there and for those who find a joy in | a duty pointed out and will help. l YESTERDAY HELEN KELLER DAY. Yesterday was the day which out of compliment to one in whom all the State has an interested pride was called
