Another Charity Card Party.

Every day or so the charity board of our city is called upon to help some individual who is unable to heiphimself.andsineethe beginning of 'this organization it has been kept up by motion picture benefits and various other entertainments and by subscriptions and donations by persons who are charitably inclined and who realize the many good things to be accomplished thereby. Since we became involved in the war, there has been such a demand upon the people for their spare change that the board has refrained from asking assistance. Now that winter is coming on the board finds itself in need of funds, and in order to assist in this good work and to alleviate the suffering which will result to many poor and unfortunate children on account of the long winter, a committee composed of Mrs. A. Halleck, Mrs. W. H. Parkinson, Mrs. Harvey Wood, Jr., Mrs. Frank G. Kresler, Miss Gertie Leopold and Miss Eva Moore has formed itself aside from the charity board to give a charity card party, Thursday evening, October 18. - People are responding very liberally to assist the committee in every possible way. Through the kindness of the .K. of P .lodge, theirhall will be thrown open to the committee fdr that occasion. The committee has issued some four hundred invitations, and it was its intention to invite the people of our city who enjoy playing cards to spend an enjoyable evening. They have planned an enjoyable evening’s entertainment, as well as some very good refreshments, and have decided to charge the very small sum of thirty-five cents for each person. If you did not receive an invitation it is because in some manner your name was overlooked, as it is not the intention to slight anyone, but you are cordially invited neverthless. Everyone should respond liberally to this movement as the objects 'to be attained are worthy ones.
