they are united, is indicated in the
lively and general interest manifested
in its prosperity that has continued
from the beginning and has gone on
increasing. 1t is also indicated in the
magnificent structure that now consti-
tutes the Hospital, having no debt to
give anxiety to its many and faithful
friends. 1t is also shown in the high
reputation it has won as an institution
TO bless and benefit sick and suffering
humanity, in an extended part of our
State, who have increasingly sought
its benefieent service and shelter.

ayers, and Medical corps, and that of
its Woman's Board are further proofs
that the Day Kimball Hospital is foun-
ded on enduring principles, through
which all connected with its philan-
thropic service feel abundantly requited
1t would require more space than we
have to spare to give in detail the large
amount of work required to maintain
the Hospital in its most useful and
prosperous service. 1t may be estima-
ted in part from the description and
only small number mentioned of the
workers required to get up the annual
Valentine Tea entertainment TO bring
together, socially, the friends of the
Hospital.
The Tea was held in Hammond Hall
being the only entertainment given by
the ladiesof the Woman's Board of the
Day Kimball Hospital during the year.
The Hall was beautifully and artis-
tically decorated, as were the dining
tables and the numerous boths around
three sides of the hall. At these latter
were various articles for sale TO raise
money for the Hospital, attended by
young ladies-one, two or more at each
table as occasion demanded. All were
kept happily. busy from the opening
till the close.

were present to partake of the Tea, at
8 o'clock, and kept coming in until =
O. clock. No weather, however bad,
has ever prevented the Valentine Tea
being a success socially or financially.
The final report has not been COM
pleted, and cannot be for few days
yet. 1t is gratifying to be able to re-
port, however, that the afternoon re-
ceipts taken in, amounted TO over $500,
no outside donations being credited.
The amount compares favorably with
that received in recent past years, and
is therefore gratifying to all concerned.
Artist Thomas J. Thurber, of Put
nam Heights, did the ladies a great
favor in furnishing the menu cards,
which he had hand decorated-that
means a good deal. They added an in
crease of interest to the entertainment
in the minds of the patrons.
