is connected with the east wing of the
hospital by bridge and is used as a

lightful, homelike place. 1t has been
cleaned and renovated throughout and
1t makes cozy home for the women

are furnished.

the bedrooms, Rev. Mr.. Bergstrom was
asked if the floor was newly laid
No, indeed" said he, that polish
has been put there by Swedish ladies
on their knees"
/ The east wing of the hospital as it
now stands cost very nearly $50, 900
and Is little less than half the size
OF the entire building when completed
Inc west wing and that part forming
the connecting link will be completed
when advisable. Then the nurses home
Will be moved to the rear of the lot
