in the line of Inatrimony. The Ban quet Comrnittee extended it's congrat- u1ati ons to the Mayor and he has as- sured them, it will be the only delight of his official career to attend the banquet accompanied by his bride.
 At the close of the entertain nment, MT. Frank A Converse, who has charge of the campaign work will give a. short talk on the work of the cam paign, preparing the system and the methods employed in raising funds by munici palities for various purposes proposed. For the banquet toast master, the Committee feel. that 8 wise selection was made in the choice of MT. John T. King
 The musical program is in charge of Professor Fritz K. G. Weber and no better recommend could be had for. the dehghtfulness of the music for the evening
 .sone of the special committees whose work will appeal with more delight to many team workers, has in charge the task of furnishing 5000. suppers free to the workers. This committee has worked out the details of feeding this small army in a most satisfactory plan. The suppers will be served in the new Po1i building at Main and Congress street. in a hall which has been heretofore unoccu- pied It Is tastefulIy decorated for the occasion. in a most satisfactory manner for this particular occasion. 8 The team workers will be arrang- ed by tables, each team occupying the same place every evening. The menu for those suppers have been careful ly selected by the comInittee-
 ssThe committee announces that one Of the peculiar features of the sup per will be the systematic way in which they are run. A gong will strike promptly at 6: 30 when the sup per will begin. At 7:0o p. m. gong will strike when the tables will be cleared. This proposition will be car ried out each evening so that no one need be deprived of their evening work or pleasure by not being able to get the team workers reports. These reports will be read from to 8 o' clock It Is experienced in every campaign that these suppers form one of the ost delightful features Of the work where the various workers can get together not only for business but social pleasure as we'll.
 tsrhe membership of this Commit tee is as follows: Mrs. John A. Hur- ley, Mrs. George T. Mccarthy, Mrs. John Cody. Sr., Mrs. John Cody. IT, Miss Agnes l.. Fitzpatrick, Miss Tan nte Lyons Mrs. David H. Monahan. Mrs Thomas J. Lennon, David F. Os-. borne, Christopher Donahue David " Lynch. James Johnson, John Fl Green. Miss Margaretta Hurley, Miss Theresa McMahon.
 Several committees have been arr anged among the brotherhoodss fra terna1 organfzation and social organ speakers to aequafnt the members of the association with the work of the campaign.
 'sThes Antomobile Committee has had no trivial task to provide nearly 100 automobiles for the two weeks, .sks5- to secure the required number and this will form one of the read delights of team work and will do much to tighten the work Of those in charge of collecting the funds. The Commit tee is comprised of the following: Michael F. Ford, chairman; Harry Ford, vice chairman.
 The headquarters at the present time Is one Of the busiest spots in town, mail bags are being filled with letters sent out to notable contribu- tors, instructions as to the campaign, and what may be expected in the way Of cordial support by them for the hospital fund It may seem to some people 9 prodigiolls undertaking and a little untime1y In reference to the present business conditions. It should be borne in mind, however, that so far as hospitals are concerned, that people will become i'll during the
 
 as in times of prosperity. Judging from this standpoint one can readily see the real aspect of taking up this work at this opportune time, that St VIncent's is in need of further equip, ment to carry on the work the insti-l tuition is called upon daily and weekly to do.
 < Great credeit is due to the Ladies of Charity who have so nobly carried on the work of supporting this hos pital from charitable stand point and in the few years past, this has largely been done by giving enter ta.innnentsI fairs, bazaars. parties, etc. Tn other words this organi zation has been very busy and taking up consid- erab1e of their time in securing hnan- cia.f support for the hospital This is undertaken at the pres ent time as an attempt to relieve the Ladies of Charity of the constantly requiring work of raising money, by collecting 8 fund substantially large to providg for the needs of this insfl- tuition for years to come
 Another thing that should be borne in nind Is that the officers of the cam paiEn have very wisely made the terms of the campaign such, that no one need hesitate in regard to a sub scripthon, as they can be paid within eighteen months. It would seem sthat in carrying out this extensive program o1 1und raising that no details along any various lines of work have been unheeded- Attention to all of these particular details gives good grounds for success
 sOne of the considerations in. con nection with the campaign should be stated in order to set aside some er- roneous impressions that are in the minds of some people as regards to the cost of the campaign principally as to the gentlemen from out of town, who are conducting it The com Ipittee desires to say that these gentle men are paid a nominal weekly sal ary and no commission whatever is paid by the Committee to them. It is further stated that the expense of the campaign tn proportion to the received will be much less than any form of fund raising that his hitherto been attempted by the Ladies of Charity even in a small way
