There is no more desolate feeling than to be alone—in a crowd. And every woman who has found herself alone in a crowded city, without a permanent home, without friends, and alas! oftentimes without permanent employment, has experienced, no doubt, the real desolation of heart which sometimes comes to most of us. To such, and to all women seeking aid in any direction, whether companionship, employment, home, or culture, we would say that the "Women's Educational and Industrial Union," 74 Boylston Street, Boston, is open, and ready to lend a helping hand.
Its "Reading-Room" is open daily, where may be found much of the best literature of the times, daily papers, magazines, etc., to which all women are welcome, whether members or not.
There is an Office for Employment, where free application can be made at certain hours of every day. There is also a Committee on "Social Affairs," "Moral and Spiritual Development," "Education," "Art, Literature, Protection," etc. To its aid and interests, all are cordially invited.
