Y. W, C. A, OPENS WORK IN ITALY Tea: and Club Rooms Opened for American Women. Miss Charlotte Niven, Director of Ital. lan Work, Prepares for Influx of American Woman Students. Italy 18 now fncluded in the war work of the American Y. W. C. A. Miss Mabel Warner of Salina, Kan, and Chicago left Paris a few daye ago for Rome, where.she will be In charge of a Hostess House for American girls employed there by the American Red Cross, the Embassy and ‘the new Tu- berculosis Commission. Miss Warner has been director of the Y. W. C. A. - ‘Hostess -House at Brest, France. - Miss® Warner. will open a tea room and club rooms where the American women can gather for soclal times. Rome is harboring a refuge population of about 40,000 and accommodations are difficult to- find. The work in Rome:was started as a direct result of the appeal of Miss Charlotte Niven, one of the National Y. W. C. A. secretaries in Italy, who Is spending & few months in France as advisor in the French work. Miss Niven’s dreams of Y. W, O. A, work in Italy include the maintenance of a residence for non-Itallan women, who, she feels, will.come to Italy—in great numbers after the war to study music and art. kK “I belleve at this time such a project is particularly important because wo- men from other countries should be encouraged to come to Italy to replace the great numbers of German women who flooded Italy in the past, many of them pald agents of thelr govern- ment,” Miss Niven said in discussing her plans. Miss Niven has asked the American Y. W. C. A. to ald the Itallan Associa- tion in establishing a center, perhaps at Genoa, with two American secre- taries, with physical and recreational training, to act as a training school for Italian women. In connection with it her plan would include a Hostess House for girls passing through the city or employed there. Such a center would become eventually the center for all and foreign. In her formal appeal for help for (he Unione Christiana Delle Glovani' (the Italian’ name for Young Women's Christian Assoclation) Miss Niven lms emphasized two facts, the poverty of the Italian Assoclation on the one hand and the need and opportunity on the other for an American program in Italy at the present time, Miss Niven's favorite way of {llus- trating the friendliness of the Italian woman to Amerlca Is by telling the story of the Italian mother who said she had taken down the plcture of the Madonna which had hung for many years over her bed and was puiting in its place one of President Wilson. “In our work in the Unione we have lacked trained leadership as well as the material resources to give -such tralning. We have had no means-to buy modern equipment. Consequently we have not the visible results of American. and British work. “Feeble as our work may be, it s not useless. Many girls in all parts of Italy have told us how' much the Unione meant In their lives. Italian girls are touchingly grateful for the smallest efforts. They re;pohd eager- 1y to friendliness. “There Is no other agnm.y doing in Ttaly what the Association ls trying to do.” Miss Niven hes spent me past seven years in work with the Itallan wo- men, starting as director o{ 2 hostel, or boarding home, for Itallgn women stu: dents at Florence, . She is an Ameri- can from “New .York, where she was one ‘time head of the Christadora Set- tlemeént House. WOMEN LEARNING MASSAGE. ) Germantown.Y. W, C.-A, Trains.

Educational courses to prepare wom- en as aides in the rehabllitation of wounded soldiers have been opened at the Germantown, Pa.,, Young Women’s Christian Assoclation, A reconstruction massage course, leétures in anatomy, physiology, mus- cle work and remedial movement mas- sage, theory and practice, electrother- apy and hydrotherapy are given by doctors and nurses, who also super- vise practical work at the Y.

A, where a specialty is made of brush-making with a view to training women as teachers for re- construction hospitals. The Cadanian Y. W. C. A. has re- ceived permission to place a Y. W, C. 4. secretary on every ship leaving England with 200 or more women and children on the passenger list, ‘The secretary fulfills the same func- tion for the women as the Y. M. C.
