decKed tables were fpsDlds of chicken jelly
and other delicate nourishment suitable to
invalids-which night have set that same
outsider to wondering what 1t all meant,
considering the Kitchen guests were SO big
and strong. But the little Kitchen knew.
and SO did the doctors. At another little
table, blooming with pink roses, were
waters and hot fragrant coffee. which was
just the very nicest-thlng for the guests,
who had called in the chilling downpour OF
rain.
The ladies in charge Of the Kitchen yes
terday included Mrs, McLellen, its presi-
dent, Mrs. Fullen Mrs. Rafter, Mrs. Clay,
Mrs Window, Mrs. Clark, Miss Roach,
Mrs. Draper, Mrs. Holmes, Mrs. Chandler,
Miss Boyle, Miss Hazelton, Miss Ward,
Miss Chandler, and DR.. Alice w. Harvey,
who is the only physician on the board.
The ladies In charge of the Diet Kitchen
gave their tea to the physicians OF the city
so that they might be made to fully real
iZe Its blessings to the poor. The man
ayers, who are women prominent in social
and philanthropic circles, are ready at all
times to dispense broths and other nour-
ishing food for invalids, to anyone who
may apply for 1t, provided a requisition
from physician is presented. 1t is en-
tlrely free, and is intended for poor in
valids who otherwise would go without.
The tea was given to call the attention of
the prominent physicians Of the city to the
fact that such an Institution existed, and
the result was a brilliant success. II is de-
sirable that the Kitchen shall be as near
seif-supporting as possible, and as the
medical body have many well-to- do pa
tients who live in hotels or boarding
houses, where it is not always convenient
to secure properly made nourishment. the
managers are anxious that the doctors will
I'M hQr fhn
mend 1t to those who are able to buy.
