Need a Boarding Home.
For a long time IL had been apparent
20 the y. w. e. A. that the greatest
need OF the supporting young sirl
in Brooklyn Is n boarding home. not a
hotel, for We don't believe IN hotels for
young working girls, who need more pro-
lection and sympathy than such an I'M
personal establishment affords Our
present boarding department-we call 1t
that. for, Ike the man In 'Timothys

present there ~ no place in Brook
Ign where a poor young woman alone
can secure a lodging for a single night.
Having in view the needs OF TIE
younger working girls. a meeting was
held here in my home last November a,
which we decided on a great campaign
OF education and preparation.
We determined To- write to members
OF the association in different sections u
Brooklyn. and urge them to organize
local committees with the purpose OF
arous!ns interest in our project.
Organizing for Work.
W organized In this way: The msm-
bers OF the first committee OF fvs, each
chose ten new members. and each now
memb.- chose ten more. Of whom he
or she was to he The captain.
1T was really a sort Of military or
ganization, and the duties OF a captain
were to keep tho ten persons chosen ur

Tho duty Of zach local COMMITTEES
was to interest tho ministers and
churches in their districts. the girls
schools and the women's Tubs. Tit
central committee sent speakers into
every district 10 talk IN the churches
and elsewhere upon Brooklyn's need OF
q boarding home for young women
, oh, yes, I made speeches! And another
lady here In Brooklyn addressed six
teen meetings.
During the campaign OF preparation
not a cent was asked for. All We
wanted to do then was 10 familiariz'
the citizens OF Brooklyn with the req
son why Brooklyn should have a
boarding home for young working girls
Then when we called for 100000 II
twelve days every one was familiar
with the situation. and the money cam'

face OF an ONCE building near tho CIT,
Hall, and every night the face OF tho
clock, which was lighted by electricity
told how near we were to the goal-th'

..Thirty-fye IL our age limit" Mrs
Judson answered. I'VE feel that afte
a woman a reached that age sh'
should know how to take care OF her
self and how TO spend her money 10 tn
