CIRCULAR 
 
 OF THE 
 
 Women's E:ducational and Industrial 
 Union. 
 
 The object of this Association is mutual co-operation and sympathy among 
 women. ‘The rooms at 157 Tremont Street are open through the-day and evening 
 to all women, where may e found a Reading Room, with daily papers, magazines 
 and books of interest. A member of the Committee is always present to receive 
 strangers, It has a committee for visiting the sick, an Agency of Direction which 
 gives information in regard to localities, lectures, schools, places of entertainment, 
 boarding places for women, etc. 
 
 The Educational Department provides Lectures and Classes. A Lecture 
 Bureauis prepared to supply, Lectures and engage Lecturers at prices varying from 
 five to fifty dollars. 
 
 The Industrial Department keeps for sale articles made by women, and takes 
 
 rs for plain, fancy, and decorative work. Orders are also received for home- 
 made bread, cakes, jellies, pickles, canned fruits, etc. Thus is opened an avenue 
 for some important kinds of women’s work which have as yet had no market value. 
 
 Its Employment Committee receive applications for work and workers, house 
 service excepted, from 11 A.M. to 12 o’clock daily. 
 
 The Hygiene Committee provides Lectures on Hygiene and Physieal Culture 
 Practical talks on health are given every day at 11 A.M. Fridays excepted. 
 
 The Protective Committee investigates complaints of dues unjustly withheld 
 from working-women: if the complaints are found to be just, and the money is 
 still refused, it provides lawyers’ services free of charge, though law is looked upon 
 as our last resort. The complainants are usually very ee a in actual need 
 of the wages earned. Complaints are received on Wednesday afternoon, between 
 the hours of 3 and 5,.at the Union Rooms. 
 
 The social advantages of the Union are perhaps as important as any. Our 
 rooms offer a place to which all women may come and get acquainted with each 
 other, and thereby, perhaps, help each other, and enjoy a social intercourse 
 which ignores class boundaries, whether of wealth, culture, or position. Our 
 especial social gatherings areon Wednesday evenings. To these, all women are 
 free to come and bring their gentlemen friends. 
 
 The Moral and Spiritual Development Committee has charge of the Sunday 
 afternoon meetings. These are unsectarian meetings, at which are read Essays 
 and Sermons on subjects connected with the higher human interests, the meet- 
 ings being followed by remarks from the audience. The meetings are opened 
 and closed by prayer and singing.
