For the seventh time since us orsan!-
zation. the members OF. ST. Marks Hos
pital Charity association are asking the
people OF salt Lake TO buy tickets to the
charity ball which is 10 be held In the
Hotel Utah on tie evening Of Novem~
Der :.
The work OF this association has be :
come so well known that there Is no
longer any need OF giving 10 the pubic
the details OF its aims and accomplish
men, and the people have become so ac-
customed TO think of this conlrloution
10 the care OF the sick and needy 9l lne
city as a part OF their duty AZ citizens,
that there would he no need 10 urS"
the older residents to make the contri-
buttons: but. there are always new
such an opportunity 10 give help where
il Is most needed and. as there are some
new features in the work and the denapo
this year. q few words ot e%plahutiof'
VIII be given.
/ The object or the association Is 10 aiye,
hospital ala to the unfortunate %lo Woulo
be self-supporting, but VINO. whei l'tnesa
or accident Gomes 10 them or their Iaiii :
flies are not able to procure proper
medical or surgical attention. Cases Oh
Nactual pauperism are provided ior oS tne
city aud county. but this association pro-
vides for the self-respecting poor. WIG
ould give up health or even life rather
than become public charges: and yes
might he saved for years OF nsppiineIsis i;,Iis
help in time of misfortune
st. Marks hospital gives this help Al
bare cost OF material and the physleian y
give their services but the actual money
needed must be furnished by the asso
cIation. and II has only one way OF get
ting 1.-THE charity ball.
There s are three sood ;nts1ssf TsasSns in We ths
charity ball this year. First IL ~ 10 ne
held at the new hotel, which has the
charm or beauty and novelty ana II,
,l.. ~
pride second because the association has
Increased It's work and therefore the eN-
pense BY employing district nurse, VINO
at the call Of the committee; goes from
house to house TO give counsel, sympathy,
byGiepic instruction and care TO the un
fortunate: and. third and most import :
ant. because the funds OF the association
arc exhausted and the work cannot so on
until they are repenished.
TIP to this time the income from each
ball has been more than enough 10 sal
year. either because Of unusual misfor,,
tune or because OF wider knowledge OF
the work among the people, The demands
have been one third greater than ever
before and there is Immediate need oil
money il the work is 10 90 on without
interruption.
In town as prosperous as Salt Lake,
where a majority of The people hays no;
modern HE, there should be no posi-
biiity OF interruption in work, which Is
so much needed and is done by women
who have proved themselves so faithful
and So capable By years of service.
II is not a pleasant task for ladies tc
go from house to house and from office
10 office to ask men TO buy tickets even
for such worthy cause, and 1t has only
been made possible in former years by
the ready response and courtesy which
these ladies received Tho members Of
the ticket committee undertake the task
this year with confidence that the re-
sponse and the courtesy will not he less
| and that the generosity will be Increased
as the need Is known 10 he greater
