HOME FOR FRIENDLESS WOMEN 

"The West Virginia Home for Friendless Women" has at last become an established fact.
A temporary home for girls waiting to get situations has been for years a much needed
agency for good in this growing city. The opening day is set for April 27, when visitors
can see what has been already done. There will be a public meeting on Thursday evening,
April 26, when the friends of this good cause in the city and speakers from abroad will
set before the public the true purport of "The Home for Friendless Women." Thane Miller,
the well known philanthropist, whose efforts in behalf of Women's Christian Association
and Homes for Friendless Women have been so successful in Cincinannati, Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia and other cities, is to be here, accompanied by Mrs. Miller.
