Arthur Studio.

Throughout the day at the lovely Prospect Street headquarters you will find energetic teen-agers deep in discussion groups or planning recreational activities. Older girls, from all channels of industry, labor, business, and professions are finding the companionship and direction which previously was so lacking in their lives.
 Mot long ago many of our fine young women spent many a leisure hour in a tavern simply because they had no place to 90. It wasn't the alcoholic beverages which attracted them. It was the only place they could find music, and dancing, and hear laughter. But for that privilege they had to order @ drink.
 Today thousands of young women are finding the "" offers them everything they previously sought. As one pretty girl said to us re- cently: No one will ever realize how much the wv. has done for US. Before joined up I wasn't only lonesome, but I didn't know how to make friends. And I was always bored. Though I tried many things I just couldn't find anything to in- terest me. In other words, I needed direction, I guess. Here I've met SC many wonderful girls who are in- terested in so many things, I've practically been reborn. not only have the companionship I desired but outside interests, and I've alse noticed that it has also helped me in my work, because suddenly it has importance"
 It would seem this girls dollar was surely well-invested-as is, we presume, whatever else is given to the worthwhile Y.WCA.
 The Years At The Spring
 The desire to take flight during these long-awaited days when the world is suddenly bursting into many hues of green and pastels is definitely a symptom of spring fe- ver-and stirring of the soul from its winter ennui. To follow the i'm pulse to flee seems to be not only the cure but a duty to ourselves Milton said, "In those vernal sea- sons of the year, when the air is calm and pleasant, 1t were an in- jury and sullenness against Mature not to go out and see her riches and partake in her rejoicing with heaven and earth" So if your pre- war gas buggy Is now 8 decrepit pile of scrap, we suggest a bus ride to Woodbury. It's smooth anc satisfying journey, which really should climaxed by walk along the winding roads of the lovely town. To Woodbury spring hal vertically come with gusts of laugh ter and the splendor of the vernal season. The mist of pink of peach and apple blossoms stands out ir soul-inspiring contrast to the new green of budding trees. Daffodil. and Iris and May pinks raise theii heads above the velvety lawns sur. rounding fine Colonial homes. Tal pines sing sweetly in the spring winds. The dilatory robin work feverishly to build a nest high ir the budding ellns. And high above this panorama of the world at 1t loveliest the spires of white church es look down. A gold cross, burn. ished by the sinking sun. seems tC emphasize the thought-"God's ir his heaven-All's right with thu world. Peace and beauty invade! and saturates the lovely old towr of Woodbury at this time of thu year. It's a trtp well worth you time. It fills the heart with tru, beauty and the soul with that vel come calm.
