be established just as soon as suitable
rooms can be secured. Several weeks
ago one of the best workers the state
organization has was brought to this
county and the raising of funds was
begun for this project, and now the
women have the funds for an humble
beginning of a new work. This has
been the hope of the w. G. T. u. for
some time and now it is about to be
realized.
Place for Girls.
When the rooms are secured they
will be placed in charge of some COM
petent woman, and particular attention
will be given to making it a home for
girls, in the same manner as the Y.
NJ. c. A. is open to the young men.
Working girls who are away from
home will be made welcome in these
parlors, being given the privilege of
entertaining company there. Girls who
are out of work will be given the at
tention of the committee or person in
charge. On account of the limited
funds available at present the organ
iZation will make a small beginning,
and hopes are entertained that when
it is seen what a work can be done in
this direction money will be forthcom-
ing in greater sums for the support of
such an institution. Two rooms will
have to suffice for the present.
Report is Made.
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
