Templeton, who has aerved the guild aa president for the last two years and, with the assistance ot the only two other offi cers, greatly extended the interest. The practicability of the work of the Toung Women's Christian association and the necessity of Its having adequate quar ters is shown in the fact that while the aa soclatlon only In a few weeks nearly doubled its room that It might accomodate the scores of girls and women who daily avail themselves of Ita privileges, the pres ent quarters are nearly as crowded aa be fore the acquisition of the a111tlnnsl moms, the announcement of the extenaion having attracted many more who were deterred from coming before on account of the crowd. During the laat month there has been an average dally attendance of til girls and women at the noon reat and lunch and an average attendance of forty-two at the noon goapel meeting.
