Branch Of the Y. w. c. "A. will appeal
for s6,zs0, its share Of the $4,000
city-wide budget the Association.
The canvass will Be carried on
throughout Chicago, Evanston and
Oak Park and will enlist the aid Of
club, society and business women in
an effort to assure the continuance Of
X. w. c. A. activities in the city. Mrs.
William Sidley Of Winnetka IS general
chairman Of the canvass. Mrs, Eliz-
aheth Euper u chairman Of the In
diana Avenue Branch division and
with her Mrs. Carrie johnson, Mrs.
Samuel Lawson, Mrs E. H. Garry and
Mrs. Nettie Speedy are serving on the
campaign committee.
Nearly half the amount necessary
has been already raised through the
efforts of the women who staged the
great Fashion Promenade, according
to the announcement Of Mrs Albert
George, chairman Of the committee Of
management.
With this splendid start, we are re-
solved as never before to push ahead
to a complete victory" said Mrs.
George. Last year only about $1,000
Of the amount necessary to maintain
the branch was contributed by our
own people. The rest came from
friends from the outside who had the
welfare Of our girls at heart. This
year, however, we believe that for the
first time we are going to be able to
say that the, Indiana Avenue Branch is
supported by our own efforts and gen
crosby. We want to prove that we be-
heve in our girls, and are able and
willing to give them the opportunities
for health, recreation, education and
culture that the Y. w. G. A. can and
does provide
Church leaders, business men and
women, mothers and fathers, club and
society women as we'll as the Y. w.
G. A. girls themselves are working to-
gether TO so carry on that when the
time is ripe we shall have a modern,
beautiful building, well equipped and
capable Of meeting the many needs of
the girls"
According to the report issued by
Mrs. George 264 girls made their
homes in the residence of the Y. w.
c. A. and 800 more were placed in
homes throughout the city By the
Room Registry Bureau. During the
busiest season when the house was
crowded and inexpensive rooms were
scarce, pallets were made on the floor
or temporary beds arranged on the
sewing table to accommodate the girls
who begged to Be allowed to stay
under the Y. w. c. A. roof.
The Employment Bureau has done
excellent work during the year in find
ing work for the many girls who come
to the city to study and who must
work to pay their tuition at the music
art or commercial schools Of the city.
During the year the Bureau recorded
225 applicants and placed zO4.
