YOUNG woMEN's CHRISTIAN AS

These are registration days at the
Young Women's Christian Association,
Tor the fall classes are soon to open,
and every one is anxious to secure a.
place in class Of her choice. The
Association is growing in popularity
each season, and a standard of excel
lence is maintained in all departments.
gymnastics are always attractive to
the energetic girls, and Miss SIocum' S
fine floor with her excellent eQuiprn emit
affords the Association an admirable
place for its classes Miss Elsie
Smith will have charge again this win
ter, and there will be courses for jun
iors- and seniors on Tuesday afternoon
and evening. Dressmaking is ever an
attractive as well as a practical course
and since the classes are arranged to
accommodate both beginners and ad-
vanced pupils, each student can pro-
gress as rapidly as she is able. Glasses
both afternoon and evening, will be
conducted at the Central Association,
1887 Broad St, and morning and ev-
ening at Sc Beach st. Since the East
Side Branch is well equipped with a
essary facilities for cooking, it has
been decided to have the class in
cooking at that place under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Thomas Cutting, and
there will be classes for the afternoon
and evening. In previous years, many
young women have found that a
course In millinery proved a great
economy, for the knowledge of hat
making, trimming, and fastening of
feathers enables one to secure two
hats at the price of one. Evening
courses in this subject are to be
taught at the Central Association as
well as at the East Side Branch. The
Trained Attendants course is probab-
ly one of the most popular, since it
gives excellent preparation for the
vocation of practical nursing. War
rants are granted, if the pupil is sue
cessful in her class work and examin-
alton, and after a year of experience,
full certificates are awarded. The
Association is ready to help those who
