 r0ns on Tuesday FveDiDg

The public in general are cordial
 ly invited to attend the opening
 meeting of the Queens Daughters
 to be held in Knights of Columbus
 hall Tuesday evening, September 29.
 A small admission fee will be charg-
 ed and the committee in charge will
 assure every one who attends a
 right royal good time. The chap
 lain of the society, the Rev Father
 Dooley, Is very much interested in
 the good work that the Queens
 Daughters are doing and hopes to
 see all the ladies in Waterbury mem-
 bers of the Queens Daughters. A
 good many people do not under
 stand the object of the society, the | Queens Daughters, and probably If 1 they did good many more ladies
 would interest themselves in the | good work. Of course they do not
 bar the gentlemen from becoming
 members. Any gentleman who wish es to become an honorary member
 in this society will be most heartily
 welcome and it is hoped they will ShoW lhSil lhiCiSSt HI thC Sooo WI N
 the society is doing by being pres
 ent in large numbers Tuesday even-
 ing. The object of the society is to
 help the poor of the city and there
 could be no better means of'finding out the poor of the city than through
 the Sisters of the Holy Ghost. These
 sisters have their home in South
 Main street. It was purchased by
 Bishop Tierney about five years ago
 and the Queens Daughters are using
 every means within their power to
 pay off the debt so that in time it
 would be turned into what Is called
 house for girls who labor all day
 at different industries so that they
 may have a place where they will
 be under good guardianship and at
 the same time will have an oppor-
 tunity for advancement. Those Sis ters of the Holy Ghost go out among the poor of the city taking care of their sick and helping them in every way that is possible. And the only means of support they have Is through the membership of the Queens Daughters and the little they earn teaching embroidery. French and sewing. All their spare time they are willing to devote to
 the teaching of those studies men toned and will be only too pleased
 to form classes in any of those
 branches for a small sum and at the convenience of every one. They also have a children's class Saturday af- ternoon from ? to where children of all ages will be taught plain as we'll as fancy sewing for the small
 amount of 5 cents for the plain sewing and 10 cents for the embroid- cry lessons. Could there then be any better object than in helping out those poor sisters who have given up their lives for the poor and there is no better way to help them than to become members of the Queens Daughters and also at any time when one feels disposed to do so to send to the sisters clothes, preserves bring to the sick and needy. The society hopes that the people of Wa terbury will show their interest in the society by being present Tues
 day evening at Knights of Colum- bus hall where they will certainly be assured of good musical enter tainment as well as chance to play cards and also enjoy good dance. i The chaplain of the society, Rev Fa- ther Dooley, as we'll as the presi- dent, Mrs J. H. Hurley, and the com
 mittee feel sure that the people of Waterbury appreciate the good work done by the society and on Tuesday evening will be present in large numbers.
