Meanwhile Mrs. Rev. G. W. Critchlow will assist as also will Miss Critchlow. On Monday from 10.30 to 12 a. m. mothers may enroll, also from 1.30 te 3. p. m.

A cordial invitation is extended the friends of the Home to visit at the time of this opening. The Homes will try to becomea Nursery and a Kindergarten besides being a home to the children ad- mitted. Becau-e of the diversified ac- tivities within the Homes there will ne- cessarily be limitatio to the number ad- mitted. But in aceepting the trust from the Queen Louise Society the United Lutheran Church consents that there will be no limitation as to creed.— Com.
