Nv JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

Every edition of The Washington Her
aid this morning contains a coupon. each
of which belongs to some boy or girl IN
Washington.
II cut out of the paper and brought to
The Herald Office, each coupon will be re-
deemed with a ticket to the Columbia
Theater for Saturday morning, April ID.
to attend The Herald's Easter party.
Every child in Washington whose par
ents can never afford to take them to any
place of entertainment where money is
required for admission. every child who
<haS neither mother nor father to think
of the tremendous advantage to them of
seeing all the wonderful things that go on
in lands across the seas. every little one
who is shut in because Of some physical
deformity, The Herald wishes to include
in its Easter party to the Columbia The
alter to see all the wonderful sights Ly-
man h Howe has been showing to thou
sands Of people in the big New York Hip

II you are crippled and cannot bring
your coupons to The Herald. seat will
De reserved for you if you will have
some one call me up, or if you will mail
your coupon and address, directed to the
Editor of the Woman's Page
Not only will a seat be reserved for
you, but big automobiles will come for
you early Saturday morning and take
you to the theater, and when you are
through travelling all over the world with
Mr.. Howe this same automobile will
carry you home again
Now. don't you think il win be indeed
? wonderful party?
And it is all your very own. you know.
for nobody win be allowed to attend this
special programme of the Howe moving
pictures except the guests of The Wash
ington Herald
Of course, no little boys or girls who
have loving relatives who can and will
= take them at some other time during the
week to see these remarkable pictures
will be expected to present coupon for
ticket
We leave this entirely to the honor Of
Washington's children and their guard
ians, believing that no one Of them would
present a coupon for a ticket to the
happy party if they could go in any other
way at any other time, or if they have
other opportunities OF seeing instructive
entertainments.
For, you see, any boy or girl who
has these other chances and who yet
brought a coupon to this office for a
ticket TO the Columbia for the Saturday
morning performance, would be just
simply tiIlins a seat that some other boy
or girl might have; some boy or girl
who has no parents at all TO take them
to see anything, or some boy or girl
who is crippled. maybe. and cannot run
around and play, but instead has to
, spend all the years OF their lives shut
Up in a single room.
The coupons will be printed every day
until all the seats have been given away.
Besides the seats for some 1,3o chill
dren and their caretakers, the theater
provides standing room for about 800, all
of which will be given away when the
seat are gone, Tor wo want just every
poor or crippled boy and girl we can
POSSIBLY accommodate to attend this de
, lightfuI party. and 1t will not be our
fault If you delay bringing your coupon,
and getting a ticket, until they have all
been given away.
