This Home for Indigent Widows and Single Women'is one of those quiet, unostentatious, but Most admirably-managed charities for which Philadelphia is peculiar. It furnishes a comfortable and respectable retreat for a most deserving and most helpless class of women, and we are ladg to learn that its Managers appreciate the fact that the time has come for an 'enlargement of its field of usefulness, to meet the, growing demands of our great population. This " Widows' House," as .iris popularly called, the Penn Widows' Asylum and Christ • Church Hospital, _are all very useful and deserving institutions for thiS relief of the class of worthy aged women, who need the shelter-and com fort of a home in their declining years. They are all restricted, both by want. of means and of room, from extending relief to the extent of the just demands upon them, and our liberal-minded citizens cannot do better than to devote a generous share of their benefac • • tons to these noble charities.'
