Two more of the little folks at
Arverne-by-the-Sea have placed them
selves on record as friends of the sick
babies They are Edwna L. Levy, eight
years old, and Arthur Modry, four
years her senior. They held council the
other day and decided that as the poor
tots needed help they would help them
SO they proceeded to lay plans for

lected as the scene of operations.
Then they went about among their
friends asking for subscriptions and do
nations. and IN a few days they were
ready for business. On Wednesday

clared open. and folks big and little were
asked to step up and spend their, pen.

they were untiring in their. efforts. They
were ably seconded by bevy of pretty

The hospitality of the cottage was
extended to all who went to the fair
and the hostess and her daughter did
all they could to make the benefit
Major Birge, Masters hickman and
