held yesterday afternoon at the resi-

the subject of memorials.
Opportunity for Memorials.
"One of the most interesting fea-
lures of this movement is the oppor-
tunity offered for, the establishment
of memorials in the new hospital
buildings" said Mrs. Wainwright
Garfield Hospital itself is a memo
rial to the martyr President, several
of it's most important buildings have
been erected as memorials, and 1t is
gratifying that the hospital authori-
ties have decided that each gift suffi-
cient to create any room or definite
unit of the new buildings may be
designated as a memorial to the
donor or any one he or she desires to
honor.
The nurses home, which has been
needed for so many years, which we
have all hoped for so long and hope
portunities, as does also the new
central building, which will contain
seventy-eight rooms for patients"
The women present decided to
make special effort to secure me-
mortal gifts. They were especially
interested in the building of the
nurses home. The seventy-e eight
additional rooms which the central
building will provide are greatly
needed, it was pointed out. as one
of the greatest needs of the city is
private hospital rooms at mod
crate price to provide for people of
modest means.
