which is to be erected in East Chicago
as soon as sufficient funds are In sight.
We're made last night at meeting of
the East Chicago Women's committee
held at the residence of Mrs. ]. ]. Free
man, 1924 Beacon street.
It was decided to give a card party.
such a card party as East Chicago has
never before witnessed, the event to
take place Friday evening, April a. at
the new Masonic hall.
Before the women who constitute the
committee decided on this form of en-
tertainment. they made srue of their
hall, for they wanted the event to be
unusually large, and Masonic hall,
which is. greatly in demand just now
and which is the only place in East
Chicago that can accommodate an af-
fair of the proportions that the COM
mittee mean this event to be. Also
social sentiment was sounded on the
subject and everybody who was APP
preached seemed to think card party
just the thing this time when there
are a good many dances on the tapis
but little else of consequence.
The women are going to make cam
vass of the business houses for prizes
and expect to be able to offer a stag
gering list, as everybody thus far ap-
preached has shown a disposition TO
help out cheerfully and generously
The prizes will be exhibited at the of
fees of George w. Lewis. the first OF
next week and from then on until the
card party. Each prize will have at
tached the nams of the donor.
