Nursery board had arranged to
give a series of afternoon teas at
their homes during the remainder
of the season. The present MUIR
sury, established in a cottage on
South l street, cares for about 80
children each day, while their
mothers are employed about the
city. The place is clean and well
handled, but Is said to be entire
ly inadequate for the growing de-
mand upon it. Already neat
sum has been raised by the So
ciety play last week and other az
fairs arranged by the board and,

taken at the coming teas, it. is ex-
pected that sufficient funds can
be derived for the erection of a
Nursery building adapted entire
ly to the needs of the institution.
