Mlta Charlotte NIven, Direetor of Ital* IM Worig PreiMirea Influx of American Woman Studentik Italy to now included In the work of the American Y. W. C. A. Miss Mabel Warner of Salina, Katt.. and Chicago left Paris a few days ago for Rome, where she will be in charge of a Hostess House for American girls employed there by the American Cross, the Embassy and the new Tu berculosis Commission.

Rome Is harboring! a refuge population of abput 40,000 and accommodations •re dlfflcult to find. The work in Rome w*s started as a direct revalt of the appeal of Miss Charlotte Niven, one of the National T. W. C. A. secretaries of Italy, who is •pending a few months in France as advisor in the French work. Miss Niven’s dreams of Y. W. C. A. work in Italy include the maintenance of a residence for non-Italian women, . Who, she feels, will come to Italy In great numbers after the war to study music and art. •‘I believe at this time such a project to particularly important because wo men from other countries should be encouraged to come to Italy to replace the great numbers of German women who flooded Italy in the past, many of them paid agents of their govern ment," Miss Niven said In discussing her plans. Miss Niven has asked the American T. W. C. A. to aid the Italian Associa tion in establisliing a center, perlmps at Genoa, with two American secreta ries, with physical and recreational training, to act as a training school for Italian women. In connection with It her plan would Include a Hostess House for girls passing through the city or employed there. Such a center would become eventualy the center for all y. W. C. A. work In Italy, both Italian and foreign. In her formal appeal for help for the Unione Cristiana Delle Giovani (the Italian name for Young Women’s Christian Association) Miss Niven has emphasized tw’o facts, the poverty of the Italian As.soc?ation on the one hand and the need and opportunity on the other for an American program in Italy at the present time. Miss Niven’s favorite way of illus trating the friendliness of the Italian woman to America is by telling the story of the Italian motlier wlio said she had taken dowTi the picture of the Madorina which had hung for many years over her bed ' nd was putting in its place one of President Wilson. “In our work in the Unione we have lacked trained leadershij) as well as tlie material rc'j^ources to give such training. We have had no means to buy modem equipment. Consequently We have not the visible results of American and British work. “Feeble as our v.ork nway be. It Is not usele.ss. Many girls in all i)arts of Italy have told lis how’ niwcli the Tnione meant in tlu'ir live.s. Italian girls are touchingly grateful for tlie smallesf efforts. They respond eagerly to friendlines.'^. “Tiiere is no other agency doing in Italy wiiat the .^association is trying to do.” Miss Niven has spent the past seven years in work witli vhe Italian women, starting as director of a hostel, or boarding homo for Italian women stu dents. at Florence.
