branch of the Young Woman's Chris

public lunch room for men and wom-
en-. The present lunch room in the

creased family. The new lunch room
will be separated from the family

be a small diningroom and kitchen;
on the second floor is a large sunny
sittingroom, two bedrooms, a bath
room. storeroom and a porch. which
