It may not be generally known that for some time past the Girls' Friendly Society, a small organization which is accomplishing excellent work in a modest way, has been working on the lines suggested, the Lodge in Boone Road being rented by them for the acleommodation of working girls of ts moderate income. A conitortable home is provided at. reasonable rates, and the establishment might very well be developed into one of larger scope. Advertising is obviously not an art in which the
which attention is now drawn is hhence the work to ttle Known and but moderately supported. The moment is not opfortune for suggesting another jeampaign for a working women's stitution on Y.M.C.A. lines, and in any case, nothing so elaborate fin needed.
