The rest room was opened to the
public March l, 1911, and has just
completed it's second year. That it
is filing long-felt want in Man
! kato is satisfactorily proven by the
fact that during the year 1912 the
total number who registered there
was Gill and fully third as many
more did not register. They came
from all directions. The matron,
Mrs. f. N. Day, spared no pains to
J make the place attractive. No mat
ter how much noise and confusion
there may be outside, here it is al
ways quiet, with good supply of
easy chairs and couches. There are
also some little beds where mothers
can lay their sleeping babies.
The table is supplied with The
Daily Free Press and Review, which
are donated, and also the latest up.
to-date magazines for women. These
are furnished by the five women's
clubs. The committee in charge of
the rest room is composed of one
member from each club.
That the business men appreciate
what the women are doing is shown
by the very cordial support which
has been given them from the start
