Brilliant Entertainment by
Which Belgian Suffer
ers Will Gain.

Contributions to the fund for relief I
of Belgian women and children have |
passed the 5000 mark, but it is "a long !
way to GO before the fund will be sUf- |
ficient to pay the necessary expenses Of !
the entertainment and leave a sub
stantial sum over as net proceeds with
which to purchase food supplies for the
starving ones over there. A full account
of revenue and expenses will be pub
lished after the entertainment
While more than 400 tickets have
been purchased at so cents each, it is
the earnest hope of those interested in
helping to relieve the terrible situation
in Belgium, that the fund will mount
rapidly from now on.
Very few there are who cannot af-
ford to set aside 81 or half that sum
] for a cause so worthy.
