GOCHRE FOR CHARITY.
Ladies Play for the Ben
eft Of the Home Of
the Homeless.

= SAdrity euchre given at the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Jennie Van Wrinkle, No. EOS
Tonnele avenue, Saturday afternoon, was
an ~undonbted success. The ladies of the
city responded nobly to the appeal for
charity and willingly gave a dollar each
and played from $3.50 till 5 o'clock for
the handsome prizes offered by the mer-
chants of the city. The prizes were:-Pen
and ink landscape, by Mr.. Chamberlin;
Jardiniere and palm, painted PLAGUE.
taboret. rocking chair, chair, Welsbach
light, box at the Academy, ~fernery,
two candelabra, set of books, silver
topped comb, silver curling tongs, bonbon
spoon. cut glass olive dish, bisque puff
box, vase, sofa pillow, flannel skirt, two
boxes of soap, silver nail file, magnifyina,
glass, fairy lamp and screen. These
prizes were placed on a large table in
the hall where each player might ex-
anime them and decide which prize she
would take If fortune favored her. So
many ladies were present that every room
in the house had to be used as a card
room. There were forty-nine card tables.
The game was played in sections. h
rooms on each side the entrance hall
were kept distinct. Each had a head
table and the players moved from table
to table in their respective sections. -Four
rooms on the second floor were also used
as card rooms with but one head table.
On each table was a typewritten copy Of
the rules of the game. To each table
was attached a pencil.
The ladies in charge of the euchre had
determined that there should be no oppor-
tunity for remark as to the award of
prizes and Mr.. Price, Mr.. Gardner and
Mr. Chamberlin punched the cards and
counted the ~tallies, thus saving the ladies
h from suspicion. There was no rule on
the paper saying that players must
cease talking and play cards." If there
had been it would probably not have
been obeyed. A loud buzz began early
in the afternoon and continued even while
the prizes were being awarded. It was
a most amicable game in every section
and nan of the ladies expressed their
surprise that it hould be so. When the
game was ended ice cream and cake
were served at the card tables and when
it had been eaten and while the gentle
men were counting the tallies the ladies'
began to walk from room to room and
say, why, are you here?' at every turn.
Everyone seemed to be there as well as
everyone else. Everywhere could be heard

When the gentlemen came down stairs
to announce the. prizes the crowd in the
almost impossible for the prize winner
to select the prizes. Contrary to the

The winner of the first prize was given
first choice and she selected the prize
she liked best The prize winners were:-
Mrs. H. A. Hellerman. Mrs. BROWNIE,

yreeland, Miss Collard. Miss Bliss, Mrs.
After the prizes had been awarded and
each owner had shown her prize to her
friends the ladies quickly dispersed and
ordered house. It is impossible to say
just how much will be realized for the
outing fund of the Home for the Home
