"Our house in this neighborhood is at
&C Greenwich street. and is known as
Pleasant Place. What such refuge
means to the little mothers and the
babies of the district can readily be
imagined. We have down here, too, a
mothers club, and through it we have
established very friendly relations be-

which is a great help in the work we
are trying to do for their children. In
this club there are twenty-five scrub
women. They meet once a week and
sew and chat.
Before our last annual bazaar. Upon
which we depend for large part OF
our revenue, Mrs. Seth Low sent this
club a large quantity of material, and
these women took pleasure and pride
in sewing not alone for themselves
but in making articles to be sold for
the benefit Of our work.
IF these women are in trouble they

teachers or nurses or visitors is sure

friendliness between us is the only

mark of one woman, who, when she
took her place at the table. said that

down to eat a leisurely meal. Through
this work we get the people to clean
their homes and to take an interest in
