employees on Third avenue and the
restaurant for workers at the Brook

with baths and gymnasiums- Miss

Two young New York women, Miss
Dorothy Whitney, who inherited a
large portion of the William C. Whit

man, daughter of the late railroad
king. are interested in the Junior

Two New York matrons promise to
spend goodly segments of their for

Mrs. Mackay, before entering upon
her career as a leader in the franchise
fight, gave large sums to support
Long Island charaties, to the building
of a new church for Trinity Episcopal
parish at Roslyn, l.. l., and to its new
parish house. Large sums she gave
also for the betterment of the public
schools of which she was a director
and to arouse patriotism in the minds
of public school children in New
