AT HOTEL FOR WOMEN
Mrs. Irwin Says 418 Rooms
Will Be Provided on West
3Oth street site.

Not a philanthropy. but a business
proposition. is the Hotel Irwin for
Women. in the interest Of which a meet
ing was held last night at the home OF
Mrs. Richard Irwin. president Of the

her of men and women who wished to

The hotel isn't merely a project. Sew
euty-two thousand dollars worth Of stock
has been sold and "A site acuuired-the
plot at 3os-3l2 West Thirtieth street.
The situation is the strong point. Mrs.
Irwin pointed out last night. because II
is right in the heart OF the dry goods
centre. anon retail houses employing
more than 10000 women. many OF whom
are living now in cherries boarding
houses and oni houses. because
their salaries Won't enable them to have
anything more homelike.
There are other hotels for working
women she said. but they are no,
centrally located. and so much of their
usefulness Is lost"
Thu Hotel Irwin would have no rules,
II was explained. 1t will be run on the
plan Of the Hotel Virginia. on Twelfth
