In BEHALF OF CHARITY,
A NUMBER OF EyTERT1Iy1fEy1S
TO BE GIyFy THIS FAIL.

Many local charities with a llsdable
and enterprislng determination to Take
time by tho forelock" are In pleasant con-
splracies IN their own behalf, and early
III November the progress they have
made will appear in entertainments which
promise to be among the genuine pleas
ures OF the winter social season. Mrs
PleasantOn Conquest, who has the success
or the Shelterlng Arms Hospital deeply
at heart. Will on the afternoon OF Novem-
ben tenth, give for its benefit, a Silver
Tea, at tho residence OF Mrs. Charles
Bosner. los north Sixth street. Mrs.
Bosher's house Is a most hosDtable one
and those who attend the tea in the inter-
ests or charity will certainly find their
immediate reward in enjoyment. Both
ladies' are planning a number OF special
features to give individuality to the affair.
and there is excellent reason TO antici-
pate success from all s;andpolnts.
Miss Margaret Tucker. of Memphis, who
recently left Richmond upon a visit 10
friends in Norfolk. has returned to this
city, and IS now the guest Of Mrs. +. T.
Munford. 800 Franklin street, west.

hope that the various circles here may
have full representation a the State Con-
Nentlon which will meet in Norfolk on
Tuesday next, October twenty-sixth.
Both Mrs. Isabella Charles Davis and
Mrs. Margaret Bottome will be present
and deliver addresses, and the proceedings
IN general will be especially interesting.
There are comparatively few people in
Richmond who are I'm sufficiently close
touch with the practical work done by the
Kings Daughters here 10 estimate II
fairly. They are constantly busy in good
work; contribute largely to the support
OF the Sheltering Arms; interest them
selves In the needs Of individual cases
among the worthy poor and are most
benefcent influence. The hope that the
attendance ut Norfolk may be large is en-
tertained for the reason that a slnguarly
strong stimulus Is invariably given 10 en-
ergy by the presence Of the two ladies'
mentioned. The influence exerted by Mrs.
Davis upon her last visit was uncalcula-
bic. and resulted in many new members
ior the Union.
To-day al II o'clock. the committee Of
workers in behalf Of the Carnival OF Ma
tions which viii be given for the benefit

ceeds of the entertainment are TO be added
TO the building fund ana the ladies are

a social and q pccuniary success. As its
name will indicate 10 those posted in the
attractive circumlocutlon Of enterprisns

Of a bazaar.
