dining room where the best and most
nourishing foods are served at nom-
nal cost. Though the primary idea
is a rest room for girls, more per-
manent value than the welfare work
in the ordinary acceptance of the
Foresters to train and advance the
girls; to enable them to continue their
education by giving them an opportu-
nifty to study while earning their liv-
ing.
During the short period since the
opening of the club four hundred girls
have taken membership and are en-
joying the comforts that the club pro.
vides. Having the support of thirty
thousand FOresters with staff Of
competent instructors, a social secre-
tary and several committees, includ-
ing a suggestion or advisory commit
tee composed of the girls Of the club,
this club will undoubtedly become the
greatest center of it's kind in the
country. From it will radiate every
phase of personal service and welfare
work known to the social worker
The club is maintained by monthly
contribution of five cents from each
Chicago member.
This work has been carried out
under the leadership and able direc
tion of Mrs. Rittman, and though II
operation but few months its prog
ress has far surpassed the expects
! tions of all interested in its success

nations at any moment.
The merits Of the controversy have
been threshed out in the daily press
for nearly a week. The Presidents
