“KNOW YOUR CITY” WOMEN'S CONFERENCE. (Saturday’a meeting at Y.W.C.A. continued.) ALEXANDRA HOME. This institution, which was represented by Miss Greenwood, is affiliated to the Wellington Ladies' Christian Association, and was started many years • ago, when none of the charitable associations with which we are now so familiar were in existence. As a reformatory for women and girls tho work of- the Alexandra . Homo had been attended with excellent results. There was a matron in charge, and two‘nurses; tho inmates were taught laundry work, cookery, tho oaro and health of their infants, and much useful housewifery- -Some of the girls were afterwards established in domestic service, some married, and their life after leaving tho homo was,proof .of the good influences brought to bear on them. Many a country girl returned to her home having learnt lessons which would influence for good her whole life. THE LEVIN MEMORIAL HOME. Mrs Rutherford dealt with the Levin Memorial Home, which was also described as an offshoot from the Wellington ■Ladies’ Christian Association. It was opened in 1813 as a small home for girls, at Newtown. In 1890, u sum of money baing available for tho foundation, of a memorial to the late Mr W. Levin, tho present home was opened. There is accommodation for twenty-tour girls, who are under the care of a "mother," the aim being to maintain as much as possible the feeling of a home rather than an institution. Tire children aro all orphans, having lost one or both parents. Where possible, payments are made by tho parent, up to, aud under, 7s Gd per week. Where means aro not available, children can be received at tho homo on a written promise being given not to remove them under three years. Tho children attend tho Borhamporo State school, and also go through a course of training in needlework and housewifery'. The income of the homo is derived from subscriptions and donations, supplemented by- a Government subsidy. MORAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH. The Moral and Physical Health Society, represented by Dr Platts-Mills, is planned ns a crusade against immorality. It also contemplates a great service 1 to mothers by explaining to them what they should teach their children of tho laws of life and nature; expresses ifs willingness to give addresses to selected audiences, and has already the nucleus of a library on tho topics pertaining to moral and physical health. Fortnightly meetings are held for lectures and discustnoiis. W.O.T.TT. Mra Box all spoke of the local work of this world-wide union, started by a little group of thoughtful women, to work for "God, Home, and Humanity." As everyone knows, tho main work of the union, is in tho cause of temperance, but much activity is maintained in the work of tho social purity division. Regular meetings for the junior branches are hold, and Hundreds of girls who are employed in various industries in the city are morally influenced and practically taught useful and womanly pursuits, by tho agency of tho AV.C.T.U. It was pleasant oleo to learn that parcels of books and papers have long boon sent out to the dwellers in the backblocks. and the railway men living along the lines. TWO-GARMENT SOCIETY. This society, whoso quaint title jnay be looked upon’ us partly oxplanatd!<y, was

EDITED BY "ZEALANDIA."

rep re wntod by Airs Izard, who spoke of tho wide eitx-lo of charitable organisations •ho society was enabled to help by its scheme of* homo work. The society was founded eighteen years ago by Lady (lla-sgoiv. Kach vice-president has twelve “associates,” all pledged to give two garments a year for distribution to the pom-. In Alay the result of the year’s sewing and collecting is distributed, and a great deal of work is necessitated in order that the things may bo utilised to the best advantage. SOCIAL SERVICE LEAGUE.

Tho University Christian Social Service League was explained by Miss .Tonkins, who said that a girls’ club had already been formed in Tory street, where sewing, games, and competitions for the children were followed by supper and prayer. Tho society was only a few mouths old, and had been formed for tho study of social questions and the application of Christian, principle*! in the effort to solve them. At present they worn hampered by the need of a Settlement House.

Sister Mildred represented tho Wellington C.A1.8. (whoso methods had suggested tho motto of “Wo Certainly Mean Business’'), founded two years ago. Fourteen months ago tho speaker, ns “a sister cf tho people," had been installed, and found plenty of work awaiting her. Her work among tho young girls had been generously ami constantly helped by both tho Aiexandra and Levin Homes, who had never refused a case of distress. There was much to bo done in temperance work, and sho would also like to emphasise the remarks of a previous speaker as to the pressing need of a creche. She knew ono case of a mother with six little children—all under nine years of age—who had not ten outside her own gate for months.

At Hiis stage Airs Glasson, on tho conclusion of Sister Atildred’s address, rose to Bay that a lady of the Terraco Congregational Church had deputed her to offer ,t*s a.s the starting point of a fund for a creche. Before the end of the afternoon another pound was promised by a member of tho same church. Sister Elizabeth, as deaconess of Kent terrace Church, spoke of her work among the poor and suffering of tho congregation. the sick in the hospitals, and struck a pleasant and unusual note when sho said that part of her work waa also among 'the sailors. This speaker hlso spoko strongly in favour of the establishment of a creche. DISTRICT NURSING GUILD. Tho District Nursing Guild of St. John was represented by Airs Fisher, who said that the aim of the guild was to cope with immorality, dirt, and disease, and eradicate sickness arid suffering. Founded in 1903, tho guild had a roll call of 3989 patients, who had been helped, and nursed, and supplied with sick-rxiom comforts, medicines, antiseptic dressings, etc. EUGENICS SOCIETY. Tliis body was represented by Aliss England, who read a paper stressing tho need for an intelligent consideration by all women of a science that had for its object tho improvement of tho whole human race. In the course of some excellent remarks on the up-bringing of children. Aliss England urged the need of developing self-restraint and selfcontrol in children. “Wo ask too little sacrifice from our children; we do not giro them the chance of developing character on the lines of strength and Belf-Bacrifiee.” The speaker also spoke with point and judgment on tho question of mental defectives, and the absolute need there was for their special education ami control. As showing the grave importance of the science of eugenics, and its bearing on our social life through the channels of heredity. Miss England mentioned that two of our highest Dominion scientists—Professor Bonham, of Otago University, and Professor Kirk, of Wellington—were both leaders in the movement hero. HELPING 'THE PRISONER. - The Prisoners’ Aid Society was represented by Airs H. Richmond. In outlining the work of the-society—which is in brief the rescue of discharged prisoners from the danger of former habits and companions—Airs Richmond said that a cheering measure of success had resulted from their efforts, between two and three hundred persons having been helped to self-respect and honest life. Gifts of money, “thank offerings” of as much us £5 liad sometimes been received from former prisoners, and were prized beyond their mere money value, as proofs of grateful remembrance and reformation. THE KINDERGARTENS. Miss M. Richmond spoke for those institutions, but their work is too well known to need recapitulating. _Aliss Kirk, as head of the Alethodist Kindergartens, gavo an interesting resume of their work, and heartily endorsed tho plea of previous speakers for a Protestant creche. Despite all these excellent - reports on tho work of women’s societies in our city, the picture remains wofully incomplete, since it docs not include the constant, earnest, and solfsacrifieing work of tho Roman Catholic institutions in our midst. In Bumming up tho work of the afternoon Aliss Helen flames, in a brief and* appreciative little speech, expressed her pleasure at meeting so many, earnest workere in tho cause of women and children. Tho singing of a verso of the National Anthem closed the proceedings. —ZEALANDIA.
