NOTES FROM
THE MISSION
PRESENT WORK WILL BE CON
TINUED UNTIL AFTER THE
HOLIDAYS, WHEN SOMETHING
NEW WILL BE UNDERTAKEN.

It is poor day indeed that does
not bring some sympathizer TO the
work which the Mission does It's
strongest friends are those who have
visited the house, mingled with the
people, and taken part in some of the
different kinds of meetings
Offers are being made whereby in
structiOn in all kinds Of work and
art TO the Mission folk is in view, but
on account of the pressure OF work
nothing new will be entered into until
after the Christmas holidays.
Miss Bessie Bassett has very gTa-
ciOusly offered to teach the young
folks how to draw and dress paper
dolls How often the little people are
seen cutting out pictures from maya
zines and papers, but how much more
interesting it will be to be able to de-
sign a dress, etc, and then cut them
out. Miss Bassgtt is proficient in this
particular art, and already thousands
Of little folks are delightiHg them
selves with the pictures she draws.
A next offer is made by a lady,
although We are not privileged to give
her name, but she offers to teach
mothers and others old enough to IN
derstand, the art of dTeSsmaking, OF
rather in cutting out their own clothes,
as well as that Of children, and We
speak for this large class, as it is a
most important part Of household
economy.
The cadets met last Wednesday
evening, as a preliminary meeting
only, pending the recommendation BY
Col. Francis P NewcOmb of some Of

made and a large turnout required.

serve lunch a. the PalafOX street

deavOr to serve his customers. Thanks
are rendered to Mr. Hughey for first
having suggested the idea and then
for the loan of tables and other things
to make it possible for the Mission
