conference which will convene in thu Y. W. G. A..
building this afternoon and continue In afternoon
and evening sessions until tomorrow night. A
national Y. w. CA. worker will be present and tho
chief object OF the conference will be a discussion
OF organization, so that Fairmont chairmen of

get an insight into their various lines OF work, and
that the women of the city as a whole may become
alive to the purpose and the plans OF the Y. w. @. A.
The success OF tho organization in Tairmont has
been phenomtnai. The local need oEthe building
and the work have been demonstrated in the almost
over %whelming response to st s.nyitations, and in the
manner In which the women and girls Of the city
are making use OF 1t
GIRLS are making It headquarters for all kinds
OF meetings and little gatherings Thereswas some
disappointment on the part Of the public because OF
the inability to bRlld or to buy a large enough
building TO house a gymnasium and swimming pool,
and to provide space for a full development Of the
entire Y. w! G. A. program, but interest has not
waned'i the organization because conditions made
it impossible for tho public subscription to buy
everything at once.
The auditorium was in use every night last week
apd on some evenings two and three groups were
meeting for various discussions. The evening
group dinners have become very popular many
small committees meeting at dinner for business
discussion, the cafeteria giving special service for
this purpose upon request.

used 70 swarm with hundreds Of young people, when
me Ice was good The scene was a merry one, ray
With Tari-colored sweaters. and vocal with the ring
OF skates and shouts and laughter. There wasn't
any Jazz music aud no one hung around until two
O'clock in. the morning, but there was an enormous
amount OF good fresh air that built anew the entire
system, there were exceedingly robust %appetites, and
q Tremendous amount Of sound sleep that followed

Buffalo looks deserted now excepting for tho
hafdysonslaughts OF the small boy who has not been
spoiied{I as yet by too much automobile, too much
Ioungtng at bridge, too much amusement that
requires little from its followers. Even the older
peeple ofsthe city used to linger with the young ones
Turing those fine winter days when Buffalo Creek
vas the mecca for tho city's enjoyment. Some Of
HE most skillful skaters were found among the
middle aged;peopn, and the young man or girl who
could8not skate at least moderately we'll was an
tsnotainious exception. When the Saturday holiday
rived PENNSYLVANIA avenue used to be thronged
With scores OF children on their way to Buffalo.
After the streht cars were installed they were
packed with eager skaters impatient to get out upon
thesbroad5 shining surface Of smooth ice.
Mothers did not seem to be afraid for their Off
spring to gambol on the ice at Buffalo and many
kiddtes brought a sandwich In their pocket and
feaaaanedi al day long. Something, tho, has robbed
Buttalosot its devotees. Is it the anxious mother
hoods &c the city? Is it the lack of energy upon the
past OF the young generation OF tho city? Has
skating ceased to be smart? The lonesome little
creek spreads out It's shining, inviting surface and
wonders why It is SO deserted.
