During the long wait a reading OF the
programme revealed the reason for the
fete. The New York Association for the
Blind is supported by voluntary contribu-
tions. Like all worth while charities, It's
work far outstrips its means. Besides the
contributions from regular subscribers,
funds are raised by entertainments, which
are given once or twice each year. The as
sociation's headquarters, at No. lis East
59th street, have become too small and the
work is cramped. 1t has a factory for
blind men, too, in East i2d street. and that
also is becoming inadequate. 1t Is the hope
of the association that some one will come
forward and give 1t a new lighthouse, as
the headquarters are called. and an endow-
ment TO carry the work 10 the limit OF Its
opportunities.
The objects OF the association are ito

During a pause kindly old man pointed
out some Of the occupants OF the boxes.
There were Ambassador and Mrs. Joseph
II. Choate, Mr.. and Mrs. Seth Low, Mrs.
James Roosevelt, Henry Holt, Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett, Miss Caroline Wells. Mr..
and Mrs. Edwin II. Blashheld, Mrs. Henry
Parker and Miss Margaret Roosevelt. On
the other side were some of the blind. who
appeared to be enjoying the entertainment
quite as much as those who saw.
Then came the vaudeville stunt of the
evening, the McHoward George Quartet,
billed within parenthesis direct from Scot
land). Just why is not known. These
famous performers are Howard Greeley,
Howard Borden, George Chappell and
George Schreber. You Will notice there
are two Howards and two Georges. hence
the quartets name)
The quartet were in conventional evening
dress, but wore enormous false noses and
cheeks that gave them the appearance OF
blowing their horns very hard. From
distance one imagined that the makeup
was a big red heart pasted on either cheek
perhaps II was. and perhaps that was the
idea. The quartet played tune and made
their exit. They waited so long after the
kindly applause had stopped that the au-
dience began TO wonder when the next act
was coming on. Then the four reappeared
and sang a song. Then they told joke?
This is the joke,-it may have come from
Scotland.
