The home is invariably full, and hundreds of children have been cared for, and mothers who could not otherwise have afforded the luxury have been enabled to take a. much-needed rest and an opportunity to get well. During the seven years the home has been open the energetic and capable manager (Mr S. Dtmkley) has received large numbers of letters expressing gratitude. The home, by the way, is healthily situated, at 253 Kewnuro road, Mornington.
