Miss McElroy Addresses the
Central Club on the Prob-
lems of Life for Young
Women.
The Address an Inspiring and Effective
One and Greatly Enjoyed.
A sympathetic audience yesterday
afternoon, greeted Miss McElroy who,
, as secretary of the Harlem Branch. of
the Young VVomen’s Christian Associa-
tion, addressed the Central club. The
lecture was under the auspices of the
philanthropic committee.
Mrs. M. E. Mead, chairman 'of the
committee, presided. She gave, in a
graceful speech of introduction a slight
outline of the remarkable ability and
devoted service of the speaker, Miss
McElroy, and at the close of the talk
in a heartfelt word of thanks spoke es-
pecially of what the young girls and
women of our town may do for others
of their kind. .
Miss McElroy’s subject was “ The
Problems of Life for the Young Women
of To-Day. ” The wonderful work Miss
McElroy may almost be said-gto have
created and carried out in her chosen
field of labor has given her an intimate
knowledge of these problems and of
their best methods of solution, so that
her address was an inspiration to those
who were privileged to hear it. She
introduced her subject with a glance
at the cauSe of some. of these problems,
the trend of modern life towards busi-
ness, the tendency of to-day in contrast
to the past in the direction of self-sup-
port and self-reliance, no less than
the need of such effort.
Among the problems that confront
the girls who leave quiet country homes
and flock to Cities, ‘ Miss McElroy
named the homelessness of life in the
tenement or cheap boarding house, the
monotony of toil, the lack 'of the right
social life, and opportunities for safe
recreation, the low rate of wages and
the unsuspected dangers that beset. the
unwary worker. .
These problems the Association is
trying most successfully to solve. Be-
ginning iu two small rooms with only
reach, this Harlem branch has grown
until now eight hundred young women
share its privileges and opportunities.
Only a short time since the Association
removed into a magnificent building fit-
ted with every convenience,which with
the Associatiou,is on a strong financial
basis. Its aim is to supply young
women with whatever social, intellecs
tual, religious helps they need, in the
way of classes or entertainments,
lunch rooms, boarding houses, and at-
tractive homes. ‘
The speaker gave touching instances
of good accomplished in this way. She
made a most telling comparison of the
' work of helping the girls searching
for the arbutus flowers. The brown
leaves of the fall are pushed aside in
the early spring, the roots and stones

One reason for his success is that he is firm believer in printers’ ink and
