She Made Many People Thankful
Thursday


although she spent the time in hard
work and worry. Mrs Thorpe feels that
her Thanksgiving day was far from a
failure. She was the direct means Of
furnishing dinners to over ninety poor
people who would have Jared very
scantily otherwise
Mrs. Thorpe and her assistants
worked far into the afternoon in their
efforts to supply the destitute with good
things to eat They missed a few, who
had changed their residence and could
not be found, but they will not be for
gotten, and will receive their share of
the supplies as soon as they can be To-
Gated The cash donations received by
Mrs Thorpe amounted TO S2035, and no
one will question the assertion that she
used the money to the best advantage
She used SILL to purchase meat, which
was added to the vegetables. fruit and
groceries donated by various schools
and individuals. An expresSman was
paid S100 for delivering the baskets to
the recipients, 60 cents car fare was
home the basket of provisions given
them Five dollars more bought under
wear for several destitute children who
were suffering from the cold: $2.45 pur-
chased cotton and Innings for charity
quilts. Mrs Thorpe needs more money
for this purpose.
Next Tuesday afternoon the Mothers
society will meet at the office and finish
three quilts for a poor widow who lost
both husband and baby this fall They
have three quilt tops pieced- and Mrs
Thorpe will have them made up for her
This poor woman and her three little
children. all under four years of age,

coats She is a lady apable of holding
