Rosemont avenue,on a beautiful hill
overlooking Rock Creek Park, was
organized in 1884 under the au-
and was Incorporated in 1883 under
the legal title of the Association
for Works of Mercy.
1t is a rescue home for unfortu-
nate girls of from Il to "a (frst
offense cases only and their babies.
The objectives are regeneration of
the mother by kindly restraint and
practical education, and develop
ner and in a happy atmosphere.
For over twenty years the work
has been under the direction of
Deaconess .Yeo. and supported by
charity. The present home, with
it's grounds, was donated by Mrs.
Julian James, of Washington. The
house accommodates about twenty
four young women and as many ba-
bies. Since moving into the new
house the home has been filled prae-
tically all the time. and during the
past nine years there have been no
serious epidemics and only three
deaths-a record. considering nor
NAL infant mortality rates.
FIGURES SHOW
VALUE OF HOME.
The practical results, as shown
by statistics, are as follows: OF
about 300 young women cared for
during the past twenty years, some
225 have kept in touch with the
home through gratitude or affection.
or both. OF these, is have died; 80
are married and have their owp
homes; 40 are either living with
relatives or in domestic service; %
are now at the House of Mercy,
learning cooking, sewing. laundry
work, housework, and the care Of
children.
AS to the children, three are
known to have been married. many
are with their mothers who have
been married, still more have been
adopted into the families of weli-to-
do citizens, and others are in insti-
tutions. In all only twenty have
been lost track of in as many years.
When one compares the foregoing
with what would have been been the
situation for these women and chill
dren had they been left to shift for
themselves the contrast is striking
The young women had received the
heaviest setback, the greatest dis
courasement to right living that
can come to a human being. yet 70
per cent of them are living normal
and useful lives.
And the children are in the grea.
majority growing up with the same
chance to develop into good citizens
that other children have. instead Qf
living a life of humiliation that
could scarcely fail to produce gull
lenness, resentment and. sooner or
later, crime.

charity-it is patriotic service
The country will be the better when
there are more like it.
