4 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, JUNE 7. 1002. HOME FOR i. W. C. A. NEEDED Open Letter to the Public from the Officer of the Association. WANTS AND EXPECTATIONS EXPLAINED Rerrnaltr tnr Xorf F.ateaalve Qortr and nmrr Arcmroolllin for Ihe Work Sow Ilrlutf tarried Um. OMAHA. June To the Public: Tho Young Women'! Christian association ap peals to the citizens of Omaha to provide the meant to procure suitable property for Its work. The association was organ ized nine years ago for the social, physical, mental and spiritual welfare, of young women of our city. From a good beginning, located In comfortable central rooms, it has grown to a membership of 600 to 1,000, occupying one floor In the Paxtoo block. This Is divided by temporary par titions, giving an office, two rest rooms, lunch room, kitchen and gymnasium. Be tween 400 and 600 women and girls visit the rooms dally. More than 400 every noon vail themselves of the opportunity of se curing a ell-cookcd meul at a moderate price and rtatlng In the pallors, supplied with couches, easy chairs, papers, maga lines and books. Th number would be larger If they could be accommodated. The gymnasium, becauso of the low celling and broken floor space, but poorly accommo dates the 200 members. During the evening, when classes arc held in the gymnasium, It is impossible to have more than two other classes, so that tbo educational work Is very much limited. The present place is outgrown. For lunch purposes twice the floor space Is needed, and as much for gymnasium, with twice the height of ceiling. There should be three to five private clasa rooms for educatloaal purpoees, with larger parlors and two office rooms. Because of the varied needs, requiring Irregular architecture. It Is difficult to adapt an ordinary building to the needs of the work. For the aame reason It has been Impossible to rent a building suitably constructed. What Is Mow eded. Because of .these two conditions, It be comes necessary to come to the public and ask tor a home for this Important work. It Is necessary to have offices, parlors, class rooms, lunch rooms, kitchen, gymna sium, bath rooms, and It la desirable to have a email auditorium, a natatorium and bowling alley. The location must be cen tral to accommodate the patron of the lunch, as that Is a source of Income. It ought to be within the boundary of Sev enteenth and Fourteenth, Dodge and Har ney streets. A corner lot would be Ideal, affording the best light and ventilation. An Inside lot not less than forty-four feet wide could be used. To supply these needs In a modest way It has been estimated that the minimum um of 150,000 will be required. This esti mate Is mode for an Inside lot and pro vision for present necessities. The asso ciation hat no debts, la opposed to contract ing any, and will not undertake this enter prise until two-thirds of the amount re quired la pledged. The question as to how the money eball be raised baa been variously answered. One large-hearted friend proposed "that twelve to twenty business men of the clt7 meet and while at lunch settle the matter by contributing the amount needed." That would be a great relief; It would leave the women free to give tbelr strength to the construction of the building at once and would enable the association to celebrate ita tenth anniversary at home. Another suggested "that tome liberal man or woman give halt the required amount as a memorial to the departed or the living." That would give an Inspiration to quickly secure the balance. Another, "that five persons be found, each giving 15,000." The suggestions prefaced with the words, , "I will give," In the amount above men . tloned, or In good round sums above $1,00, will be most gratefully received. What the Women Mar Do. Are there not a number of good women of the city who will give In a $500 class, a class numbering ten to twenty T A class of $100 gifts numbering fifty per on would add well. Fifty more giving $50, and 100 giving $25 each would equal It. All classes are open. ; , . ' ; A tew years past the women were asked to defer their building enterprise and help with the exposition, which they cheerfully did. . They responded to the requests to help with the Auditorium; they have been loyel to every publto interest. This loyalty will be recognised in a prac tical way by a hearty, generous response to this appear for a building worthy the city of Omaha, creditable In comparison with similar building In other cities, and worthy the association, which stand for constructive, formatory work, for the crowning glory of our advanced civilization, a well-rounded, perfect young womanhood. .
