building of the Edgewood School Of
Domestic Arts erected, and with its
completion will come as an addition to

blossom into reality. Years ago, she
set her heart on providing for the de-

find accomplishments that will fit them
to go forth into the world and win their
own way, and at the same time provide
for them suitable home, temporarily.

progressed and last year the founda-
ton of the main building was put in.
This year the superstructure will be
erected and as much completed to con-
tract only such debts as the funds al
ready pledged will liquidate.
