This evening at Capitol park there will
be assembled the beauty and chivalry of
our city to enjoy the lawn party to be
given for the benefit of one of the noblnst
and most deserving of charities by the
auxiliary of the Mercy home. 1t is the
desire and intention OF the ladies' COM
posing the auxiliary to establish a creche.
where the helpless children of laboring
women can be cared for while the moth
ers are earning their daily bread. IN
less this creche is established many poor
women will become dependent upon our
citizens, because they cannot leave their
little children alone while they go out to
work, and of course they have no means
to employ even the youngest OF nurses
This proposed charity will properly meet
the demands of this class of our people,
whose sufferings must appeal to every
heart. =
So let the park be crowded tonight, and
the noble women who are engaged In this
work of love will be enabled Immediately
to make the creche success. There will
