There will be a meeting of the Daisy Chain
tomorrow afternoon at Mrs. Morton's at 4
O'Clock. when the erection of a pavilion for
contagious diseases in connection with the
Chlldren's Hospital will be discussed. The
Daisy Chain was started here four years ago by
Mrs. Henry Edwardes of the British legation
and Mrs. HobsOn, and was modelled after the
Mlnistering Childrens League III England.
The chain has now lilo members and has had
career Of great usefulness, under the direction of
Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, who is the chairwoman
of the kindergarten committee of the hospital.
From the proceeds of the four sales of fancy
work, &C.. about 81, 600 has been realized Of
this sum $500 was given toward furnishing the
new wing OF the hospital and about the same
amount in the presentation of 700 garments for
the little patients there. The chain has also
provided regular kindergarten instruction for
all the children in the hospital Nearly $500
still remains. and with this az a nucleus for
building fund the Daisy Chain will erect
a small hospital, or pavilion where contagious
diseases among children may be treated. 1t is
probable that the building will be located on
the grounds of the Childrens Hospital and its
usefulness will undeniably be the greater there.
Messrs. Hornblower and Marshall have made
the plans for the building, the cost of which

The beginning will be modest, only two rooms
to the ward with room for six beds and a nurses
room. All the bed linen has already been prom
ised and it is expected that the beds will be
given and supported as memorials by those who
have lost children by contagious diseases.
The ladies who are interested say that when

quarantine imposed upon persons who have
such diseases in their homes and the expense
attendant upon the case, the destruction OF all
clothing and bedding entailed by law. makes
the subject a serious one In whichever way it is
viewed. Mrs Hopkins plan to raise the money
is q simple one. She will ask the young mem
bers of the chain each to endeavor to raise 80,
but if they cannot get that much the smallest
amount will be gratefully received; and it is
argued that here comes the opportunity for the
Hundreds of parents in this city who have had
little ones snatched from them by diphtheria
and kindred diseases to help the Daisy Chain
build this house that other little sufferers may
have the bes: possible treatment that modern
science commands. Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs.
Morton both hope that any children or any per-
son having an interest in this great charity will
attend the meeting tomorrow. Raising a thou
sand dollars for such project it is expected
will interest every household in Washington.
