Seeks Support For One Of Our
Homes For Working Girls.

To. the Editor OF THE TIMES:
One Of the foremost Of girls boarding
houses is Washington Lodge. a large,
home-like, properly equipped residence
at Twenty-ffth and X streets north
west. established by women having an
interest In the general welfare of girls,
usually of the working class, with

This most valuable establishment en-
braces the maximum of efficiency in
the general conditions which go to make
up a comfortable home for girls at a
minimum figure, and is of great help to

Undoubtedly, one of the best ways for

lishment of similar places.
