Interest in the Architecture.
Much interest is being taken by the
public in the kind of building which tn
Y. w. c. A. proposes to erect. No plans
have yet been made for the building, nor
has an architect been selected. But the
officers of the association have deter
mined that the building is to contain. in
addition to the reception rooms and gen.
tidi dSSSfnDiy Hdiis, 0lHlIB u ~
nasium, and rooms for women and kirls
who come here from other cities. The
fine site which has been secured at the
corner of 18th and i streets northwest
will permit of the erection OF q building
which should be a model OF its kind.
Contributions. big and small. are being
made by men and women OF every class
of society. The small contributions are
sought as eagerly as the large, for IL Is
the plan of the campaigners TO give every
person in Washington who has an inter-
est in the work of the Y. w. c. "A. an
opportunity to contribute TO the cause.
C. A. building is city wide and Affects
every man, woman and child in the capi-
tai. or their friends and acquaintance.

A suggestion which has been made that

with the building fund for the Y. w.
