HEBREW GIRLS Home
OPENS NEXT SUNDAY
Nominal Charges Will Be Made for
Quarters So that Any Young Wom-
an Can Be Accommodated.

On next Sunday will take place the
formal opening Of the Young Women s
Hebrew Association Home, located at
1880 Tenth street northwest The home
as planned will fill a long-felt want in
the District of Columbia, as it will be
conducted on generously humanitarian
lines-in fact, it will be nearly as
possible real home for those girls who
take advantage of its facilities. Dormi-
tories will be provided for the accom-
modations of transients and permanent
residents.
1t will be in immediate charge of a
matron, who will treat the residents
with all kindness and motheTliness.
Only nominal charge will be made for
the use of the dOTmitories, as this is not
a financial enterprise on the part of the
association, but one of genuine charity
that of providing a home for working
girls who are homeless or strangers in
the city and cannot afford to pay the
usual clearinghouse rates.
Donations have already been received
from several sources several rooms be-
ing completely furnished by that means.
All communications in regard to the
home should be addressed to Mrs. Bloom,
6m Q street northwest, who is the ex-
ecutive officer of the board of directors,
who are to supervise the home.
The association has outlined a plan of
work for its members that will greatly
broaden the scope and field of its oper-
atiOns Glasses are TO be organized in
several lines of educational work. in
cluding English, German, domestic sci
ence, dressmaking, social endeavor, elo-
cution, and dancing. The association
also plans to provide a gymnasium for
the use of its members. An employment
bureau also will be conducted by the
association.
All visitors are welcome at the home
on the occasion of its formal opening and
thereafter.

The receiver clicked deCisively-and
Billy Manton giggled. Commonly she
could guess by Rosa's indirections the
thing IN hand. Billy had been duly
christened Willamette, by way of pre-
venting jealousy among adoring grand.
parents. She did not mind if the name
was such a mouthful-Billy was handy
and comradely. She matched the name
being so human nobody stopped to think
whether or no she were pretty. Such in
quiry in cold blood would have brought
the answer that she came nearer beauty
than ugliness.
This indeterminate estate perhaps was
what so endeared her to Rosa Lewis, a
beauty outright, a belle, and, of course.
a great coquette. Coquetry had for her
the charm of forbidden fruit, since she
had known, since she was in short frocks,
that she was to marry Dan Hopkins,
Aunt COra's stepson. Aunt Cora had
brought up Rosa, in the handsome Hop
kins home. training and fitting her to
De mistress OIL II, ana oil tne FlCneS dp-
purtenant. Dan, sole heir to them, was
seven years older than Rosa. He had
grown from a thin fair tall boy patheti-
cally shy, more patheticalIy timid, into
the shadowed manhood of the born
weakling. Unfeeling folk said bluntly
he was lacking" Kindly ones put It
that he was too timid to show what was
really in him. They thought, but did not
say, he was repressed by his forceful
stepmother-and no doubt would be domi-
mated all his life by the wife of her pro-
Yiding.
Rosa would rule him-gracefully and
not too unkindly. AS we'll Rosa as any
other woman. He would infallibly be
henpecked. Moreover, whoever married
him would do it more for what he had
than what he was. Indeed their joint
world inclined rather to look upon Rosa
as a sacrifice, a martyr to duty-first of
course, to herself. How otherwise could
she make herself so excellent a pro-
vision? Further, by her sacrifice, she
would insure peace in the family.
Billy loyalist of friends. truly pitied
Rosa, though she had a warm liking for
luckless Dan, and knew his seeming stu
pidity was in large part due TO over
dominance in those about him. He was
openly fond of her-but Rosa showed no
jealousy. Once, indeed, she said reck-
lessly, "Billy-gal-if 1 can find a better
match, you shall have DAN
'Billy's lOok-her sole answer-had made
Rosa flush with shame. 1t was the high
look that had more than once
awed mobs, or brought brawlers to their
senses in time to prevent bloodshed. But
