"The Phoenix Hosiery Store of Omaha"
Business Man
Answered by
MadamefcX'
The Y. W. C. A. launches this
week its annual budget campaign.
The amount asked is $70,000. A
prominent Omaha woman, we will
call her Madame "X," who is deeply
interested in the work accomplished
by the Y. W. C. A., heard a chance
remark by a business man, which
she says, caused her to "stop and
ponder!" She has subtuitted her re
ply to him through The Bee, think
ing it may explain to others who do
not know, what some of the purposes
and activities of the Y. W. C. A.
are here in Omaha.
To a prominent business man;
A chance remark made by you a
few days ago has caused me to stop
and ponder. "I have no particular
use for the Y. W. C. A. It is not run
to help the 'down and out.' A. girl,
who is 'down and out,' is not wel
comed there." It is quite a common
thing to make, thoughtlessly, a gen
eral, sweeping statement when one
has not gone into the particulars of
the case and has taken the off
hand remark of someone else, who,
for a reason peculiar to himself, is
prejudiced against a certain cause.
Prevent the "Down and Outer."
Why is not it n wise move in this
progressive age to take a step in ad
vance, when possible, and use ong's
energies and what financial aid 'a
sympathetic public is willing to give
to prevent the young woman' from
reaching that stage when she is
termed a "Down and Outer?" We
have all heard of the "ounce of pre
vention." Cafeteria Popular.
It is primarily to this end that the
Y. W. C. A. is working in the com
ing, campaign to provide funds to
enable , those girls, who are often
strangers in our midst, hundreds of
whom room in boarding houses, and
whose only glimpse of home life or
home cooking is when they daily
visit our cafeteria. They go back to
the offjees, shops or factories of
some of these same "objecting
gentlemen" better equipped for their
day's work both mentally and phy
sically. Of course, very many, who
have their own good homes, patron
ize the daily luncn, meeting their con
genial associates, often listening to
speakers and good music. Who can
begrudge them this hour? The
popularity of ,our cafeteria under
Mrs. Fullaway, who has refused
several high-salaried positions as she
says, "to do her bit towards mak
ing life easier for the working girls
of Omaha," has somewhat over
shadowed the work of the numerous
other branches which, while not
financially self -supporting, all do
work along constructive lines.
' Camp Brewster.
Much has been written already of
the marvelous success of Camp-
Brewster under the able guidance
of Mrs. Frank Judson. where over
3.000 girls and women from all
classes of industrial life spent their
vacations, and whore over 24.000
m'eals were served, during the past
summer.
Employment Department.
In the month of September. 489
applications from employers and
366 from employes were received in
our employment department. Ap
plications to the number of 252 were
investigated and placed in offices,
factories and homes.
Travelers' Aid.
At the railway stations during the
same month 451 people, stranded
and some in dire need of advice and
physical assistance, were directed by
our travelers' aid to safe and whole
some places to remain until they

given the Y by the men of the Scot
tish Rite, whose only stipulation was
that the. house should alwavs be
kept as attractive as possible and
not bear the appearance of an in
stitutional home.
Colored Center.
The .Colored Center under the sup
ervision of Mrs. Charles Offutt, who
is untiring in her work, is as yet
not self-supporting, although the en
thusiasm is very great among the
colored people, who are energetical
ly assisting her. As a very intelli
gent colored girl remarked, when
asked to speak at a recent board
meeting of the Y. W. C. A., "noth
ing has been done in this city that
has helped so to eradicate the class
feeling that exists here as starting
this club and a similar one for men
under the direction of the Chamber
of Commerce."
South Side Center.
A South Side center ha gathered
together hundreds of workers from
the packing houses, stores and of
fices, who there find a healthy moral
and educational atmosphere, where
entertainments are provided for them
nightly. In the rooms registry de
partment for Septembe.r 93 rooms
were investigated for regular ap
plicants and 29 for transients.
Variety of Departments.
Of the various other departments,
the physical culture, where in one
month 800 girls were enrolled and
where the gymnasium is crowded to
the limit from 8 in the morning till
10 at night, the Girls' Reserve
work, similar to the Boy Scouts, th;
educational, religious, recreation, in
dustrial extension, and other
branches, under special secretaries,
earl: well qualified for bet work
spacej- forbids more than a passing
mention.
Impressed With Omaha "Y. W."
A national worker, who has been
conducting campaigns in New York.
Philadelphia and other cities
throughout the country, is pro
foundly impressed with the fact that
in no building, even in the larger
cities, has she found the ceaseless ac
tivity, the incoming and outgoing of
so many girls as she finds daily in
the Omaha Y. W. C. A. Surely a
good advertsement for our local
branch, and, incidentally, for Oma
ha No membership fee is required
to enjoy the various privileges of th
Y. W. C. A., where girls of all
creeds are found and all are equally
welcomed.
Spiritual and Physical Aid.
Of course, these girlf are not the
"Down and Outs." Replying to the
statement that the "Down and Outs"
do not reach us, we can only refer
you to the reco-ds of our efficient
secretary, Mrs. Carrie Campbell,
where you will learn of the hun
dreds who have wandered .to the
"Y" for succor and advice and who
always receive that help, both spirtual
and physical, for which they -came.
Many are thankfr.l and hundreds of
letters attest their gratitude. Many
are not heard -of again, but we do
not think it 'advisable or necessary
to advertise such cases.
On the board and on various com
mittees of the V. W. C. A. are many
women, who were deemed fully com
petent to work and assume places of
high responsibility on Red Cross
boards, in liberty loan campaigns,
etc. Would they be willing to
sponsor this campaign for funds for
the coining years, unless they had
made a thorou'i investigation of
this organization and had a com
plete knowledge ot its great work and
had assured themselves of its real
worthiness as an asset in the life
of Omaha, from both a moral and
commercial standpoint?
Why not trust their judgment in
this instance as fully as you have
in the past in campaigns of much
