The Children's]Pavilion.
The main entrance to our new Children's
Pavilion is very pleasing, and much taste
has been shown in the selection of appropriate
furniture for the front hall and reception
room. The floor of these is covered
with a nice linoleum, and a pretty Madras
lace of old gold and ecru tints veils the
front windows. A choice black walnut hat
stand and black walnut sofa and chairs upholstered
in brown leather, are the nicest
and most substantial and appropriate things
that could have been found for the place.
Four beautiful clocks are noticeable on
the walls of the Pavilion. Two pretty cabinets
of cherry are designed for the Children's
Wards. Quite a number of cots and
cradles that have previously been given to
the Hospital have been removed to the
Pavilion, and some very handsome new ones
have been added. A number of pictures
have also been donated. Samples of iron
bedsteads are found in the Wards, and furniture
has been given for some of them.
Some of the managers and other friends of
the Hospital have signified their intention
of furnishing cots or rooms, and next
month we hope to report that enough is
supplied to enable us to remove the little
folks into their new Hospital.
You will see, dear children, by the report
of the Treasurer that we have now $4,-
331.44 to raise to cancel the debt on the
Pavilion and we must also furnish the building
to some extent before the little folks
can take possession of it.
We know your hearts are with us, and
we are sure you will all love to help us. We
want to see all the empty squares in Mrs.
Mathews' Pavilion chart crossed off, and
the Pavilion comfortably furnished. Perhaps
in some of our Sabbath schools offerings
will be made to raise the needed funds.
The following letters indicate what some
of our young friends are doing for us.
Little Mabel Frances Taylor, only two
years and a half old, has collected $3.50
