ANOTHER HOSTELRY IN VIEW Called the Maria Paredes, and to Be Run for the Benefit of Deserving Young Women Unable to Pay Much for Board, Applications are coming In thick and fant for rooms in the new hotel for Catholic women at No. 2 West Sev- enteenth street.

The plan is to make the house as much like a private home as possible, surrounding the young women with the protection and influence of a Catholic family, yet not forgetting the claims of society. ‘All the women of the household will be asked to wear evening dress for din- ner, and their visitors are expected to come in evening if 5 Although the hotel is designed strictly for women, yet the inmates are not ex- pected to,’ forego masculine | society. arge and pleasant drawing-rooms are provided, the only restriction placed upon callers being that they must de- part at 10 o'clock.
