A Lucid Explanation

There bas been some confusión in r e gard to the Y. W. C. A. and the Wotnen's Auxilian-. Thr latter is a part o] the Y. M. C. A. and its object is to help in the social work of that association and to do for it the many things w.iich need a woman's hand to perfect. The Y. V. C. A. is an entirely separate organization which does among the young vromen the same work which the Y. M. C. A. does for the young men. Each along ts o wn lines, and in the most friendly spirit towards the other, is working for the good of the young people. We do not want Ann Arbor to forget that there is a Young Women's Christian Association in the city, which, though neither so old nor so large as her brother across the street, is yet becoming an important factor in the lines of many of our Ann Arbor girls. Due to the great kindness of the directors of the first National Bank the Association has a very pleasant home, and nearly all of the merchants of the city, as well as several other friends have helped to fit the rooms up with carpeta, pictures, curtains, electric lights and other conveniences and comforts. During the past ten weeks there have been classes in Elocution, Germán Conversation and Physical Culture, besides a large Bible class whicli is held in connection with the Sunday afteriioon meeting at 3 :30. These classes have been under the charge of competent teachers, who have given their work to the Association free of charge. A small fee has been paid by the classes which has ensured regularity in attendance, and a continued interest. After this week ;hese classes will be continued and in addition there will be a dass in ainging under the charge of Mrs. Prof. Kempf. The fact that the fee for such classes i )ut 25 cents for ten lessons to menibers of the Y. W. 0. A. and 50 cents to outsiders, ought to result in large classes. The rooms are open every Saturday evening, and this week, Jan. 12th, a special social is planned. We shall be glad to receive a cali from the ladies of ,he city who are interested in the Association. We have not, nor do we rnean to ask for money ; we do ask interest uid co-orperation from the women of ■Vnn Arbor. We are working slowly, 3ut we think surely, for the girls of our ity, and already see good results appearing. There are several things lacking yet or our rooms, and the f olio w ing list has )een placed before the girls, though other articles or a money gift will be ound use for at once.
