We are sorry to say that the bene-
fit entertainment for the Ladies Relief
Society at Mrs. Bentley's rink Tuesday
evening was very meagerly attended.
The receipts were only about eight dol
lars. 1t is TO be feared that progressive
euchre parties are materially interfering
with the success of the good ladies who
are so earnestly endeavoring 10 afford
relief to suffering humanity. If few
kind-hearted women devote their time,
labor and liberal amount of money and
are willing 10 take the responsibility of
looking after the poor, people generally
should at least show their appreciation
by contribution.
