home, on North Center street, has
grown to such proportions that two as
sissants, Miss Gard and Miss K immell,
have been pressed into service by the
management, in order to fill the de-
manusof the situation there. The
classes in religious, Sunday school,
Kindergarten and practical household
work have grown to such proportions
that it has become problem with the
management how best to handle them
The work has proved a splendid sue
cess and its benefits SO genuine that
the home has developed into both a
blessing and necessity. The widest
possible scope has been given the work
of the ladies in charge, and many
mothers and children and others men,

manner as to call forth their deepest
gratitude. Thus far the work has been
a splendid success, and plans for en-
Iarged usefulness are being discussed
