Night.

subscriptions aggregating 500 have
come to the Young Women's Christian
Association since the grand total of
100000 was reached Friday night. That
sum Is regarded as only a faint sug-
gestion of the amount that might have
been realized had not the glad It'd
ings Of the brilliant success of the cam
paign been heralded broadcast.
Members of the various committees
who are to nave charge of the work
of building and equipp.ng the new
home of the Y. w. C. A. and the new
boarding home, possibly two, in this
city, will do nothing until after the
report of the auditing committee has
been made and the board of directors
V in their regular meeting a
week from tomorrow.
To Have Week of Rest.
This is to be a week of rest for the
workers so far as the campaign and
everything it means is concerned, and
no n would think of even limiting
that the rest is not we'll earned and
deserved.
Congratulations for the magnificent
showing made by the Newark organi-
cation are being received at ~headquar-
tiers from all parts of the country. The
campaign was watched with the great
est interest by members and friends of
the organization everywhere. Figuring
on a basis Of comparative population
the achievement here was more note
worthy than was that Of Philadelphia's
organization, where $ 1000, 900 was
raised.
While no definite plans have beer

two boarding homes rather than the one
which was first planned, will be erected
with the surplus $50. 900, which came In
when the campaign was on the home
stretch. Two such homes are needed,
say those closest in touch with the. sit-
uation, n 1t seems likely that ar
rangements for them can be made.
Considering Sites.
Members of the building committee
have W or three available sites for
such buildings In mind, but will not
discuss that feature of their plans until
after the meeting of the board of direc-
tors, a week from Tuesday. While IL is
known positively that the full $500, 900
has beer raised, the report of the audit
ing committee is being awaited with
the greatest interest. 1t will probably
be made at the end of the week., and
then AND not until then will the real
figures be Known. ~
