The latter offer was accepted and the building is now in course of erection on the land donated. But, while this building was being slowly constructed, Mrs, Clark felt as though she must do something for a number of girls who she knew were anxious to re- form and conceived the idea of estab- lishing immediately a local home. Her efforts resulted in the formal dedication of the ““Open Door” on the ninetcenth day of August of the present vear. ‘When the home opened, six girls sought refuge there and since then the number has been increased to eighteen.

The girls ave without exception pretty and intelligent. One of the objects of the “Open Door” is to find homes for the innocent little cooers and to bring them up without knowing the shame of their parents. The girl mothers surrender their infants to the home and they are given to persons who promise to adopt them and swear never to disolose the parentage of the child. The young mothersare not even allowed to know to whom the child is iven, as this might cause trouble in the uture.
