offers the only social break in the peni.
tential season. But aside from the
peasure to be derived from attendance
at the party who patronize it will have
! the consciousness of assisting in very
worthy cause and lending financial as
well as moral support to the members of
the Sacred Heart Aid society in the OBJ
Ject for which they have been striving
so zealously for years-the foundation
of a home for aged and INDECENT men
and women. This home has long been
the dearest dream of the society, and
that dream now promises to become a
reality within a short space of time.
That there is need, and urgent need, of
such haven for the old is apparent to
all who have served on the relief COM
mlttee at any time, and who have
found the unhappy charges of the So
ciety's bounty hiding their poverty in
cellars and alleys, in cherries barns
and still more cheerless tents. The
work of the Sacred Heart Aid society
will be rendered far more effectual
when these unfortunatess are gathered
into comfortable home and their
wants attended to by THE Little Sis
ters Of the Poor"-that band of noble
women walking so closely in the foot
steps of Jesus as to cause even the
most ungodly to do them reverence
Denver is generous to the fatherless,
| its orphanages being second to none in
the country; whole pages might be
written on what st. Vincent's, with its
manual training department, is doing
for boys, and of the excellent domestic
knowledge impaired to orphan girls by
the good sisters in charge of st. Clara's.
but Denver has not yet awakened to
the cry Of those who are going down
the hill and who would seem to be OBJ
Jects OF sympathy just as much as the
little, ones whose tiny feet have Just
started on the upward climb. The Sa-
cred Heart Aid society was organized
nearly twenty years ago, and during
that time has faithfullyperformed the
obligation of visiting the poor in all
parts of the city and relieving distress
IN SO far as the treasury will permit.
In short, it has been to Denver what
the st. Vincent de Paul society is to
other cities, but all the time the ulti-
mate object has not been lost sight of,
and each year small sum is added to
the fund on deposit for the home for
the aged. Dues of life members formed
the nucleus of this fund, which has
now assumed generous proportions. The
card party on st. Patricks day will
help not little, and all interested in
the noble work Of the organization are
chase tickets. Mrs. w. A. Granger is
chairman of the committee on arrange
ments, and has done excellent work to-
ward the success of the party.
