HEAR MIS-. Thomas Hunter, Of Rit-
y tenhouse square, has decided to open
her home for Il large card party to be
given on Tuesday afternoon Of next week
for the benefit of st. Leonard's House.
1t appears the sisters of the Holy Child
were told some time ago 10 purchase the
two adjoining houses t. their property
at Thi'ty-Aint.l and Waliiu; streets. ana
gift % the cost would be made to them.
Negotiations We're started ana the houses
purchased and just before the gentleman
who wished to make this gift to the Con-
= vent had settled for the amount his un-
expected and sudden death occurred. NO
provision had been made in his WILL as
have been told, and so the sisters were
left with the houses on their hands. and
as they really need them they have asked
the members of their school alumnae to
raise $4,000 for the building. fund and
mortgages due on the property. This Is
the first time an appeal Tor money has
been made 10 the alumnae and there has
been a generous response. All sorts o.
entertainments are being planned anu
carried out, and the card party which
Mrs. Hunter will have on Tuesday Will
be for this cause.
AMONG the women who have taken
