Reception at the Y.W.C.A. Yesterday afternoon the hostel committee of the Y.W.C.A. held a reception in the hostel in Macdowiid Crescent to cele-. brute the opening of a number of rooms which have lately been added to the building to meet the great demand for accommodation which in times past haa somewhat overwhelmed the members and tho lady superintendent. Quite a number of guests were present in spito of tho unprepossessing weather, and were received by Mrs. M'Clay (tile president), Mrs. Hobv, Mrs. Webster, Mrs. Campbell, and Miss Dunlop (who has chargo of the hostel). Tea was served in. one of tho largo rooms on the ground floor, the table being arranged with-very lovely wliito and yellow chrysanthemums, after which Mrs. Webster, in a brief speech, spoke of tho demand for accommodation, and also'of the very fine work which was being done by Miss DunloPj the superintendent of the hostel. Miss Birch, -tho secretary of the Wellington Association, spoke interestingly of tho blank which it was tho aim of the association to fill in the lives of girls who camo to tho city, friendless and homeless, and with no one to turn to for companionship. To supply something of the lost home atmosphere and influence to those was to do something to help them on their way, and there .was no doubt but that tho hostel and the club room supplied something of that need. In Miss Dunlop was to be found an invaluable ally, for the always found her most sympathetic ana finest helpful. Miss Birch also spoke ot the selfishness, often unconscious, of the leisured girl who did not realise that there was work waiting for her close at hand, the work of giving pleasure, and help, land instruction to many of those who came to the Y.W.C.A. for all these things. She also Sfok'o of the counterattraction tho rooms offered to the young girl who wandered about the streets looking simply for distraction, to those over whom the mothers had lost control, and to those who were lonely and were looking for mental, physical, and moral help. Tho guests were t.lven invited to inspect tho new rooms, which are situated on the third story. Nine in number, and all simply, but comfortably, fuhiished, they presented an attractive appearance and will undoubtedly appeal to the girl who is looking for a home atmosphere. Altogether, at the present time, there is accommodation in the building for thirtyfour people, and when the Home beats come in, or the boats from Sydney, every room and mare, is needed.
