Because of the difficulty, or virtual
impossibility of constructing floor in
the Denver auditorium which would
make dancing possible, the Sisters of
Charity have abandoned the plan of
holding charity ball there on April
20 to raise funds for the building of a
founding asylum. Instead, the dance
will be at Ell Jebel temple, and the date
will be Tuesday, May 4. Committees of
men and women who are friendly with
the sisters are at work disposing of
tickets at 81 each and helping in other
ways to guarantee the success of the
undertaking.
1t is hoped that the returns from the
charity ball will be of sufficient magni-
tude to make the work of building pos
sible. The site is already purchased
and paid for. It is directly north of
st. Joseph's hospital on Humboldt
street.
The plan is to take care of foundlings
until they are years old, when they
may be removed to st. Vincent's or
phan asylum. That institution being
out from the heart of the city makes it
difficult to get medical attention always
when it is necessary. and the sisters
believe that more lives can be saved by
keeping the very small children close
to the hospital.
In order TO make the March envelope
reach the $500 mark. the goal
toward which the pastor of the cathe-
dral has long been working, additional
were sent in this week
bringing the total to $500.65. The April
collection will be taken up next Sun
day, envelopes having been distributed
for the purpose at last Sundays masses. |
