| pleasure will be felt after visit to the
roof, with its square red tiles, attract
i've and substantial balustrade and the
wonderful view over all parts of the
city, with the imposing Capitol dome
and the park as foreground, the larger
Capitol extension as vision of the
near future. All agree that the site for
the Y. W C.. A. was well chosen, near
the stores, so that shoppers and clerks
may utilize the rest rooms and eafete-
ria; close to the railroad stations, so
| that travellers may drop in between
| trains, or young women stranded or
alone may easily find a safe welcome.

happier. The opening day will be an
event of interest to Harrisburg.
