i not let Helen Woodruff give all the help
 If our city needs a contagious ward al
 the Childrens' hospital, then we've all
 got to help give her one whether we live there now or not.
 Those on the committee at present are;
 Mrs. s. Glover May, Mrs. Dryer. Mrs. " P. Walker, Mrs. Walter Kobbe, Mrs
 Thaddeus Weatherly. Mrs. Stuart, Mrs. Dinwittle, Mrs. Dudley B. Lawrence Mrs. Allie Birch, Mrs. Anderson, president of the Dixie club; Mrs. Minthorne Woolsey. Mrs. Scottie Mckenzie Frasier, Mrs c. s. Newell and others are joining all the time.
 There have been quite a number of copies of "Mr. Doctor-Man' sold all
 ready and these energetic women feel sure they can sell a great many before
 the holidays. Two of the committee agreed to use them as Christmas cards. putting theirs and their husbands name inside instead. of. using thereon ventional and much overdone engraved Christmas card. To use books for this purpose is the latest fad in social cir cles in New York city. for small books cost no more than the elaborate cards generally used and afford the recipient more pleasure. The movement was started by Mrs. O. H. P Belmont in con- nection with her Useful Christmas Presents campaign last year
 The next meeting of this committee will be at Mrs May s'house, 122 Manhat- tan avenue, on November 15. Mrs. New ell and Mrs. May will also give Mrs. Woodruff social tea during that month and at both of these affairs there will pc a registry book in which the guests Will be requested to write their names

 Will you help me by working on that committee?
 You pledge nothing, but only help in fiuence the sales to become big locally. by buying as many copies as you feel you can afford to give away for Xmas. and by asking your friends to order the book through you.
