A Home For Friendless Girls.As the result of an effort which has been put forth for some time by a number of charitably disposed persons in this city, a house at the corner of [One Hundred] Fifteenth Street and Fourth Avenue, Upper Troy, has been rented and will be opened about April 15 as a home for homeless and friendless girls. The project has been in consideration for some time, and although the start made now is necessarily upon a small scale it is hoped by the promoters that the work will grow into an institution for which there is much need in this city. A meeting was held yesterday afternoon at the home of Miss Amelia E. Haswell at 1549 Fifth Avenue for the purpose of completing the plans for opening the home. It will be called the Bethesda Home and will be in charge of Miss Keese of Lynchburg, Va., as matron. Miss Keese has had wide experience in the conduct of the character in several of the large cities throughout the country. The home will be provided with facilities for the care of homeless girls who are ill, and will aid friendless girls until they are able to help themselves.The following Board of Managers has been chosen: President, Mrs. John Leggett; Vice President, Mrs. James H. Bissell; Secretary, Miss Alice Sims; Treasurer, Miss Pratt, City Missionary of the First Presbyterian Church, Miss Whittemore, founder of the Door of Hope Missions, has been engaged to speak in the interest of the Bethesda Home some time next month. The managers are receiving contributions, equipments and clothing, as well as money.
