Work outgrows Quarters
Because of the crapmed quarters in
the Conservative Life building it has
been necessary to hold classes in four
different places.
The dining room of Hotel Vendome
has been utilized for the sewing classes,
and several Of the rooms In the Central
Presbyterian church have been used for
other classes Two offices in the Con-
servative Life building, one belonging
TO doctor and the other to lawyer
have provided accommodation every
night for two other classes, and yet
there is not room enough.
When the association moved from its
old nome on Second street to its pres
ent beautiful rooms it was thought
there would be room enough for a long
time but the work of every branch has
grown so rapidly that the secretaries
find themselves hampered on every side
by lack of room.
The campaign for new building will
be opened soon. Every effort will be
made to secure enough money to erect
the six-story building planned by the
association.
The work of the association has met
with the approval of business men as
well as women, and there is nothing
but commendation on every hand for
all those in charge.
