Home for Working Glrls.-volun-
teers of America have obtained a
home" for working girls, the insti-
tuition being located at Sixteenth street
and Eighteenth-and-ahalf avenue. Cap
tain Dow, after searching over the
city, found a modern six-room house
which proved the exact dwelling he
desired. Furnishings are now being
installed and seven girls can be &C
commodated. Charge for the lodging
and board is but little and a boon for
those who are paid but a small sti-
pend weekly. The idea is tC uelp the
young woman who comes 10 the city
in search of work and cannot afford
to pay much of her little store Of
cash for a place to eat and sleep. It is
likewise designed as a help to girls
living here who cannot well support
themselves, paying the sums asked
for board and room.
