Y. w. c. A. Report.

on my heart the work which shall held
70 upiIt and Lbenefit all young women.
! = year ago Mrs. Bailey most ably and
beautifully introduced you to the work
OF the Young Women's Christian associa-
tlon of Salt Lake City. Today have the
happy privilege of extending that intro
ducuon into more intimate acquain-
in the year the work has grown con-
slderabiy. The boarding home has be-
come more widely known, and is full to
IT'S utmost capacity all the time and many
young women are turned away contin-
ually. The accommodations are entirely
! inadequate. but we have been able to
provide a safe pleasant, happy home to
more than 100 girls. who would otherwise
have been adrift and homeless. And there
are many, many more. alas. who are
sorely in need of just such shelterng
I homelike protection. but because of lack
of room they must so out in the world
alone
In addition to the boarding home we
opened last July. an office, MONDAY
! lunch and rest rooms in the Brooks Ar
cade. The. rooms have been attractively
furnished and have already become a
center from which radiate greet AID in
cTeasing powers for good. The lunch
room is daily growing in popularity ana
l. the young women are beginning 10 dis
cover that there is a very pleasant place
where they can find a palatable luncheon
for a small amount of money. where they
can quietly visit together, or read, and
then rest and refresh themselves IN a
quiet room, on comfortable cOucheS before
returning TO work. We have had many
words of grateful appreciation which have
/ cheered us on the uphill way But here
again, our quarters are inadequate. and
we have many difficulties TO contend
a~9nst.
Early next month our travellers. aid
secretary will arrive, aud we will begin
the long delayed work of meeting the
trains and seeing that strangers, especial
j L. Girls aud directed 10
a safe and respectable boarding places
There is also much other work in this
: line which will then be taken up.
.'AlI this work is carried on by sub
scrintions. sustaining memberships S
each. and active memberships 81 each
The boarding home supports itself Inc
lunch room is very nearly self-support-
4 ing and will soon be entirely so: but the
salaries rents, furnishings and equip
ments are paid for through yearly OF
monthly subscriptions and memberships
! I've feel that we have grown, but we
| certainly do not wish to stop mere W'
hope to grow big and strong and pow
/ erful influence for good throughout the
city and state and even beyond the limits
/ of Utah.
Want a Real Home.
I'VE want to increase the work all the
| time. We want to undertake educationa
work, night classes, where young. ambi-
tious women can gain the knowledge

women to become practical, eftlcient

mind We want a spacious auditorium
where lectures during the week and re
