Plea for Wo1nan's Exchange.

Plea for Wolnan's Exchange.
a member OF the Board of tlN Rich
,nond Exchange for Woman work
makes tho following plea through the
columns of Tho Times-Dispatch for the
Exchange, which says:
give ,,s this day our daily bread" =,
WITH all due carncstness these words
II n,.c spoken morning and night until they
K seem n part of every days life and duty.
The words are the same for all, but now
different the Invocation when uttered by
the woman who tolls day by day, that
Z her labor may bear substantial fruit, IN
81 enabling her to care for loved ones de-
pendent upon her effort.
Many such women work for the EN-
& change women who wonder II tomorrow
will bring them more and better employ
mont than to-day, who are hoping against
hope that each day as 1t passes will offer
4 something better for them to look for
4 ward to in realization. AS It Is now, In
many instances, orders placed with the
sWoinan's Exchange, at the corner OF Third
& and Franklin such as the marking of
household linen and napery in enbroid-
Z cred letters or with indeliblc ink; sllch
as darning of all sorts from the most
delicate laces to the mending and press
ing Of clothing and hose--all these things
B have no capital TO use in outlay, but who
& are more dependent by fur upon the work
entrusted 10 them than are the consig-
= nors Of the beautiful and costly articles
with which the showcases of the EN-
q change are filled.
Tho Exchange has done vast amount
3 Of good In the past few yl,nrs by being
the dispenser Of help TO women whoSare
4 unable. on account OF their environment
or age, to undertake the duties of an
office or business position, but who arc
; thankful to mend socks for bachelors, to
q cover quilts, overhaul and darn fine linen
for the busy house wife and do any
branch of plain sewing for those who
require such TO be done. s
