Here are some of the things I saw there yesterday:
Single bedrooms. Each has armchair, a gas radiator with for boiling a kettle. A good dressing table (most of them liberally equipped with powder and face creem), book-shelves.
Cold feet would seem to be one of their trials, fon most of the constables had provided themselves with hot-water bottles in knitted covers.
One was even so human as to have a large toy dog on her bed, but per-e haps she was only a probationer, Large common room, iwi of sofas, tables, books, and Writing-room (a bowl of primrose: en the table), very quiet, decorated in studious blue Dining-room, with small sepal tables, as in a restaurant, Blazing fire and cheerful mirrors.
Eight bathrooms between 40 women.
Recreation-room with all sorts of games, Silence-room for study. Rather sombre this one, to keep probationers" minds from wandering Large kitchens where tea (buttered scones and sponge-sandwich) was being prepared.
Food is served through a hatchway into the dining-room. Constables wait on themselves. The kitchen It is only a little more than two months now since the Homeside run Club for men and women was opened under the management of Miss Ethel Leighton in 190 Kiukiang Road and already it has become so much of an institution in the down town world that it has been asked to extend its activities beyond those indicated in its name and it is now open to the public every day except Sunday.
Breakfast' and dinner as well as tiffin, with club privileges included, may now be yours for the small sum of fifty dollars monthly, and this means more than the bare words convey. For example, the Homeside Tiffin Club is very, very particular to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness. Miss Leighton gives careful supervision to all the details of the kitchen, every servant has clean bill of health from St. Luke' hospital and all the raw salad vegetables come from the Homeside Farms so they are one hundred per cent, safe.
