THE WORKING GIRL

HER WELFARE IN THE CITY. Just now, the number of young girls needed flu shops, offices, and factories is exceptionally 'nigh: _ Many girls are but in their 'teens, having left their homes and the careful influence and guidance of their parents, to earn a living'in the city. The Young Women's Christian Association is an institution for girls in this position. It conducts evening classes on most interesting qubjects, which any member may attend. For the girl who lias a tendency towards books, there is a literary circle. Rest and club rooms aro at her disposal should she wish to quietly read and write or chat merrily with her fellow members. The Y.W.C.A. has dune and is'doing all in its power to increase the comfort and happiness of girls away from their homes, besides judiciously uplifting its members—intellectually and spiritually. 4:15,000 is urgently required by 1 lie Y.W.C.A. to extend its activities in Wellington. Tho Y.W.C.A. is unsectarian, hence its' doors are open to all respectable girls, regardless of their position in life. Think what this institution means,to the girls—tho homely life and surroundings its provides for them. Realise the urgency of tho appeal by sending your donation to the treasurer Mr. A. D. Bayfeild, Box 1071, Wellington, TO-DAY. —(Published by arrangement.)
