are being decorated and remodeled to
suit the work of the guild. There
will be a large cafeteria which will
seat two hundred people at one time,
also private dining room; several
class rooms, rest room and a large
assembly hall which will be used for
private theatricals, lectures, etc. A
stage is being built in one end of the
room so that rehearsals in plays,
opera work, etc., can be carried on ev-
cry evening.

years ago with a membership of 81
business girls. It's membership has
grown into the four thousand and it's
