The ladies decided to hold their
annual Charity ball on Thanksgiving
eve. The proceeds of this charity
ball are to be donated entirely to the
support of the free bed for the coming
year, and the need of support and
cooperation of the public is more nee
essary this year than ever before be-
cause of the great number applying
for admission to the free bed, as the
work of the Auxiliary is more gene
rally known. Since the first of the
year twenty-one patients, every one
of whom has been in the most strait
ened circumstances have been called
for, and at least two of whom the at
tending physician said would have
been in their graves if it were not for
the help that could be gotten only
through the free bed fund. The doc
tors give their services absolutely
free, and since the organizing of the
free bed seventeen major operations
have been performed gratuitously on
free bed patients. There was d good
attendance and the meeting was a
satisfactory one.
