PRE-WAR RATES III 1 POSTAGE ON WAY

The bargain counter on mail opens July 1.; After that time families can interchange social letters for the good old price of two cents, tourists can tend back "wish you were here's" for the popular copper"s wortlf of postage end business firms will no longer pay three cents to send a thrice mentioned bill. Although Uncle Sam is letting his nephews and nieces return to former postage rates only eight months after the war's end, he is "not doing it soon enough for some Of his relatives, according to inquiries made daily at the Richmond postoffice. On the whole, the difference has not been noticed by most people. It counted up some at Christmas time, tut very few persons confess any de crease in' the number f letters they have written since the postage rate went up. In fact, most people say

they have written more letters since the war for they have had so many

service men to keep in touch with all the time. As to parcel post, on which there was no change in rates, there has never been so much .pass through the local office in the history of its service, employes say. It has been pointed out that more advertising matter will be sent now than formerly when rates were higher.

When a man is going to send out 30,000 or 40,000 circulars, It makes a dif

ference whether they are going lor one or two cents. All the postoffice people agree that love letters did not decrease when the rates were increased, but that because of a convenient loophole they may go and come oftener after July 1. "I wouldn't be surprised a bit if all the turtle doves would take this as a real bargain and go in a third harder on the letter writing proposition," remarked somebody at the postoffice this morning.

HEIRESS MARRIES FLYER SECRETLY: SHOCKS NEW YORK

A home of refuge for women, girls and children, from the doors of which J no destitute person has ever been turned away exists in Richmond in the Home for the Friendless, COG South Tenth street. When a woman, without friends and without money comes to Richmond there is no other legitimate place for her to go for s-helter. There is no Y. W. C. A. in

i Richmond and in a sense the Home for j the Friendless acts as such to the woman traveler who is stranded here i without means. As many as fifty peri sons have been sheltered at a time at I the home. j A mistaken idea is prevalent, It Is : said, regarding the connection of the . Home for the Friendless and the j women's county jail which is built on j the same lot and over which the same (matron usually has supervision. The j two serve entirely different social purposes, and a person taken into the Home for the Friendless is in no way

considered a county prisoner, explained Mrs. U. B. G. Ewing, president of the board of women managers. In a private home of this city women interested in social work gathered in 1S67 with the result that a committee composed of several Richmond women was appointed to take the first steps in organizing a home which would be a place of refuge for women who found themselves without friends in this city. The ladies composing this

committee were: Mrs. C. F. Coffin, Mrs. Sarah Iliff, Mrs. Mary Jackson, j Mrs. A. L. Samson. Mrs. Rachael Mendenhall, Mrs. Martha Valentine and I Mrs. J. P. Agenbrod. j Work With Y. M. C. A. i Working in temporary connection j with the Young Men's Christian assoi ciation with hopes of an ultimate

union, the first efforts of the tentative organization were made. Rooms were rented in different homes of the city where destitute persons were cared for at brief periods through illness or cold months. The proposed union with the Y. M. C. A. did not

materialize, however, and in 1868, on

January 13, a separate institution was J nroinlTiul and a institution and bv-!

Praise Matron's Work. Mrs. Van D. Brown, the present matron is described as exceedingly competent, and a real "home maker," by members of the board. -Mrs. Brown has a happy faculty of acquiring the love and confidence of the people with whom she works, and is proving one of the most successful "women deputy sheriffs" ever in the position, it is said. Not only are the persons living in the Home cared for with food and living rooms, but an attempt is made to give them something of the life of a real home. Spiritual as well as material help is extended to all, and every effort is made to instill better and higher instincts in these people who are brought into the women's jail as county prisoners. "Our people are not wholly bad and if they can only be won over to a regard and desire for the higher and better things which are to be had in life, we feel we have accomplished something worth while." said Mrs. Ewing. Mrs. Ewing explained that the home is supported partly by charity an annual donation day is held the last Tuesday- in each October partly by small sums paid by the inmates themselves and partly by friends and relatives. The city and county, of course.

A house physician, a cook and an assistant housekeeper must be employed and many persons are cared for entirely free of charge when they have no income of any sort.

Service Men's Secretary

To Work Outside City

W. S. Rayle service men's secretary

of the local Y. M. C. A., has announc

ed that he will spend a considerable

amount of time in the county next

week organizing the work for unem

ployed men there. He will be at the Richmond "Y" in the evening, however, and may be seen there by returned service men any time after 6 o'clock. Owing to the stress of work in the city, Rayle has not been able to devote much of his time in the county so far, but he anticipates securing both some calls for workmen and

some requests for jobs, he said today.

said Mrs. Ewing. No two cases are alike, however, and we provide for all within our power. We have had as many as fifty people, 39 in the Home and jail, and at present there are several of whom are left there because the day nursery is out of reach for their parents. In the home, of course, we keep the children day and night, but the parents are welcome to take them out for over Saturday and Sunday or at any other time. These people endeavor to pay a little board. A few small endowments help with the work." The present board of directors of the home includes: B. B.

The session will last Friday and Saturday.

Two are on nursing and the care of children, and four are from the treasury' department on methods of saving. Copies of the pamphlets may be had by anyone who is interested.

Mr. Price. Nathan and Esther Frame with Mrs. Ransom worked diligently in securing the furnishing of the building. The first board of trustees was appointed on March 30. 1S6. and was composed of C. F. Coffin. S. C. Mendenhall. C. Jackson and Abraham Gaar. At a later meeting in Centerville, then the county seat, a new constitution was adopted showing the distinct independence of the organization. "The new building was completed

in 1870. and soon afterward, says an

old annual report of the home, "a request was received from the city council asking for the privilege of placing girls and women in the Home upon their arrest, instead of placing them in the female city prison. The request was granted, and the first city prisoner was soon afterward sent in. She was a poor destitute girl with scarcely no clothing on. Owing to a theft that had been committed in the city by a young woman of hitherto respectable character which excited the cympathy and interest of the public and at the earnest request of Judge George Holland and several leading citizens, we were induced to accept the provisions of the new law passed by our state legislature authorizing the county committee with the consent of the managers thereof, to legdt-

every one, because it is apparent that it i3 not due to cosmetics, paint and powder. But the true womanly beauty comes from good health, and this good health is a woman's secret.
