Speaking of Mrs. Lesley reminds me
4 the dansant which st. Vincent's Aid
members will give tomorrow afternoon
n the ballroom of the Ritz-Carlton. Mrs.
Lesley was made president of that asso;
hlion this year, and so she Is inter
Sted in the various charities which the
srge number of women on the board
Es constantly getting up for the sup
qt OF tho institution. They take care
the little foundlings OF the city, and |
Is really q wonderful work. The in
tuition Is run by the Sisters OF Charity
bd an aid association, The little ones
10 kept at the institution until they are
bout years OF age, and are then trans
rred to the orphan asylums.
The Junior Aid members go out to the
pine on different days of the week and |
ay with the small tots, who look for |
ard to their visits with delight. I was |
amused one day while visiting there. |
hey gave us an impromptu fire drill, |
ID all the babies from years of age up |
ere sent down the fire chute to tumble |
the grass at our feet. And you may
Plieve they loved 1t. 1t seemed TO me
wise idea to get them used to the |
lute and really to enjoy it as a slide
pee in while; then If there ever is
Al need to use 1t the little ones can be
'tten out without fear of a panic.
Other patronesses OF the dansant to-
orrow at the Ritz are Mrs. Joseph f.
mott, Mrs. Nicholas Thouron. Mrs.
rchibald Barklie and Mrs. William
srcsr.
Some OF the committee in charge of
affair are Miss Florence Walsh,
airman; Miss Frances Sullivan. Miss
ary Rivinus, Miss Marjory Wilcox
"a Miss Dorothy Hohan.
