their front names. each brought toy
and all entered heartily into children's
games. A picnic supper was served
on the floor In room decorated with
small trees in tubs, ferns and palms.
This was supposed to be a grove,
and there were signs up like these:

A gift of $50, received today from the
w. " Snyder Co, with four donations
which were received yesterday. brings
the total of the STARS Free Ice and
Outing Fund up to S1.213.23. The fol-
lowing letter accompanied the generous
offering of the Snyder company:
Observation-Disclosures please find our
check for $50, being our contribution to
your Free Ice and Outing Fund.
"wishing you every success. We are
very truly yours,
"W. v. SNYDER CO."
Yesterdays contributions were: s. w.
M Bishop, e. Huebner & Sons and
Solomon Curry. who gave s5 each, and
the Palace Hotel, which gave $40. The
fund is progressing steadily toward
that goal which will make possible all
of the relief work which the STAR
hopes to accomplish through it this
season.
In this letter which accompanied
his check, Mr.. Bishop admirably voices
the appeal which the charity should
make, although the fear he voices in
his opening sentences Is not justified:
To the Editor Of The Star:
Enclosed please find check for SIS to
add to your fresh air fund. In looking
over the list of contributors to the fund
the thought occurs to me that perhaps
the general public looks upon it as an
advertising scheme for the business
men and politicians. Could you not
make 1t plain that this is not the in
tention? But all persons, great and
small can obtain pleasure by making
a contribution. whether big or little,
from the satisfaction of knowing that
when the hot and oppressive days are
here that they. individually have done
something to relieve the distress Of the
weak and helpless ones, the ones un-
able to get even the small comforts
of life.
If all will help, by contributing from
one cent up to any amount they can
afford your fund would grow to such
an extent that 1t would not be neces-
sary to refuse aid to any deserving
one. Wishing you success. I remain.
Yours truly,
s. w. M. BISHOP.
