notable service along both lines,
and which has included in its men,

women in Washington, is the Lin

| For more than nine years the Lincoln
| Circle, Ladies Of the G. A. R., has car
ried on notable patriotic and phiIan-
thropic work in Washington without
making a single appeal for outside as
sistance. The circle prides itself on the
fact that its members have always been
able to meet any demand for assistance
| from their own resources. Not until
| last spring had the circle even given a
benefit entertainment of any sort, and
then it engaged the Columbia Theater
for performance Of the Columbia
| Players in Sunday" in order to meet
special demands upon the treasury
Since its organization the circle has
taken care of one army nurse. and for
the past two years has supported an

has been refused. And this entire work
has been accomplished by contributions
from the members of the circle. who

Since its organization the circle has
included among its members many TO-
table Washington women. Clara Bar

Since that time Mrs. Avery also organ
lied the ". T. Sherman League of the
G. A. r. and the William Mckinley
Circle. of which she was elected the
first president.
Mrs. Mary Sitze-Parker was chosen
first president Of the Lincoln Circle.
Mrs. Parker long has been known in
Washington as an accomplished musi-
clan. She graduated from the Leipsic
Conservatory of Music, and later was
