CHELSEA BRANCH REPORT.

During the last two months work has been
unusually varied. owing TO much illness among
both members and pensioners We were very
gratihed to help invalid IN Yankeedorn by sell
ing, 20 some advantage, an heirloom which she
very highly priced. and which has thus enabled
her to be very comfortably provided for for the
winter.
Mrs Foster and NJ J. G. each gave IS. Mrs. Geer
q and Miss Mower q for special cases; L B. gave
SIS as rental for music students. and has since
sent additional $25 to be used as a special out
ing fund for one OF our members who has been
i'll and needs well deserved rest: three other
members gave each 81. and another Cherseh
a working girD gives 50 cents a week for the care
of a student without other resources. As usual.
our suburban friends have been constantly helpful
with telies. fresh eggs and delcacies for sick
in the hospitals. and our far or cancer patients
have had numerous comforts sent both from
selves and friends from other states
One good soul was saved from being dispossessed
by temporary loan. which she very promptly
paid upon getting place which secured for her.
I am more thankful than can express az the T.
s. s. having at last a loan fund 1 also wish to
bring forcibly before our friends that We were
able TO help a man who, through serious
misunderstanding between himself and his en-
ployer had been placed IN very precarious situa-
ton that not only involved the loss OF his posi-
tion. but saved him from possible disgrace and the
temporary loan which gladly made TO him has
enabled him TO keep on IN the right path. from
which he had never deviated- We ought to feel all
the more thankful for that happy and fortunate
! result. tnasmuch other society had cared to
take up the matter and stretch a helping hand TO
this deserving case.
The children OF family where the mother earns
their bread by daily labor (washing, etc-), were
cared for during an entire week by her neighbor
on the floor. who poor as She was still willing
to do this unselhsh thing IN order to allow the
mother six unbroken days OF earnings
Reading matter sent TO thirty; clothing to
several local cases, and through OF our mem
bers TO other deserving families further away
Two Of our tuberculosis patients who are in the
last stages OF this dreadful disease have needed
constantly many extras, which. with the unceas-
Ing kindness OF friends. we have. happily, been
able to supply.
Notice OF the date for our Easter bazaar will be
