Popularity Increasing.
After a study Of this problem, the

have been progressing for some time
and increasing in popularity steadily
since their Inauguration, was started
under direction of Miss Aleada Mel

Music Is Provided.
Musical programs, informal dinners
and educational programs are inter-
spersed in the afternoon meetings in
order to aid them by broadening their
knowledge in a general field, as well
as the actual work in the making Of
the quilts.
The community service group,
composed of younger women inter-
ested in helping less fortunate men,
bers of their sex, also have aided ma
terially in forming the classes and
their operation.
The women work in groups on the
quilts, and as they are completed and
sold, those working on the quilt all
share equally In the financial return.
There has been an increasing demand
for the quilts in old-fashioned designs,
leaders said.
Members of the classes and leaders
said yesterday that persons desiring
to have such quilts made for them
could call at the Y. W. C. A. transient
residence, and orders would be ac-
cepted there. The quilts may be made
either in a specified design for the
purchaser or in one of numerous con-
ventional patterns.
