sum toward its maintenance, and that
through euchre.


| through a euchre
But let him who criticises the euchre
| beware. In this twentieth century when
public taste for gambling must be ca
| tered to in order to make money, he may
come to it himself if he is practicing
| philanthropist without a million dollars
to back him, for just now the euchre is
| the only money making proposition. Lit
tie did the Philanthropy Department
think after the first euchre three years
ago, with its unwieldly crowd of women,
all gambling for a prize, and the adverse
criticism which followed, that it would
ever give another. But the Philanthropy
Department is a philanthropy depart
nent, and the very word philanthropy
means money. Each department of the
| Woman's Club is allowed to draw on the
general treasury for ten dollars. But
what is ten dollars where philanthropy is
| concernedf OF course the department,
like the girl whose allowance does not
cover her clothes, had to turn to and do
something for itself First it had tax
Ell upon itself the care of the Organized
Aid workroom-that is what the first
euchre was for-then it took upon itself
the care, or part of the care, of the Day
Nursery, and second euchre was given,
not because the members wanted it, but
because it was the only paying PROPOSE
ton, and now today another euchre is
to be given for the same reason-because
NJersey City women, even club women,
will not patronize anything else they
have to pay for.
Fifty prizes have been contributed and
the greatest care will be taken that none
except those actually entitled to prizes get
them. They will be locked in a room un-

titled to draw will be admitted in their
order and allowed first, second or third
choice according to purchases. Mrs. Haf-

One very good feature of the revised
