installed in addition to number OF
sitting hens and the chicken farm OF
the home is soon expected to be very
active part of the girls work
The girls at the Rescue Home are
taught to do all kinds of sewing. As
most of those who are in the home
had very few clothes in their posses
sion when going there the Officers OF
the home and private individuals at
Christmas time gave them materials
for dresses. These the girls are being
taught to fashion into garments Tor
themselves. They are also making the
table and bed linen that is needed for

done is a very large, bright room, with
a great many windows, and has num-
