der, then, that the work which is Just
now occupying the attention of the
members Of the Woman's club is awak.
ening unusual interest in the minds of
all warmhearted men and women, who
see in the founding of the Woman's
room at the county hospital at least a
step in the direction of the establish
ment of the home for the aged which
is n of the crying needs of this state.
While the plan of taking charge of the
first room is directly in charge of the
Woman's club, the work is by no
means confined to that organization
and the sympathy, advice and help of
all interested will be more than well
come. During the week past much has
been accomplished in preparing the
apartment, the ARTISTS" of the club
having executed the painting while OF
er members scrubbed the floor and
made everything spotless. The club
has already expended $25 for necessary
carpenter work, the location of the
room being such that a door and a
window had to be added to secure es-
sential ventilation and privacy. The
club finds itself with less money on
hand than usual on account of cancel
ing the debt on it's piano and the unusu-
al expenses incident to the state fed
GRAFTON meeting last fall, so cash con-
the room is to be made available, a
rug, a stove and a comfortable bed
and bedding being among the pressing
necessities. 1t is estimated that $50
will make the room habitable and those
interested are again reminded that con-
tributions will be gladly received by
the committee, which consists Of Mrs.
Arnold, Mrs. Bellamy, Mrs. Corthell,
Mrs. Ernest and Mrs. Fred A. Miller.
The appeal presents itself as a o.
ment which is really worth while on
account of his extended character and
scope, for the apartment, which will
be known as the "Woman's ROOM
will be open always to any needy suf-
ferer, and within its hallowed precincts
tired eyes may close at last at the
end of many well spent years, and still
other tiny souls may first look upon
life there. Primarily, of course, the
room is planned for the homeless and
helpless, those who have borne their
share of the burden and heat Of the
day and who can no longer take part
in the strife. Here such an n
can fold her hands and rest. surrounded
with a fewtreasured belongings and fill
ed with the peace and quiet of perma-
nency, after continual drifting from
one temporary shelter to another. In
other states similar refugees are known
as sunshine rooms" and it is the fond
dream of many Wyoming women that
the time is not far distant when in
some salubrious r Of the sunniest
of states a suitable building may be
devoted to the work. Some four years
ago the Laramie Woman's club took a
share of building and loan stock as a
nucleus for the home and other clubs
in the state have since followed the
same excellent plan, the weak spot in
the scheme being that it makes no pro-
vision for the helpless of the present
time.
