Preparations are nearing completion
for the largest ball in the history Of
the Southern Relief Society.
The society, under the presidency
of Miss Mamie Randolph Heth and the
splendid band of women associated
with her, has grown by leaps and
ganization. During her presidency
Miss Heth has won the support of not
only the members of the society, but
Of all kindred organizations.
Finding few years ago that more
effective aid could be rendered by the
establishment of a home. Miss Heth
founded the Southern Relief Home in
Georgetown. which gave such efficient
and effective help that the building
was found inadequate and the society
The choice fell to 2403 Pennsylvania
avenue, it's present location, where
nineteen guests find every comfort. In
addition to those thus provided for,
aid is given to forty old ladies who
reside outside of the home and seven
teen Confederate veterans.
The great and varied work which
the Southern Relief has done has
gained the interest of all who have
come in touch with it's benefactions.
The ball, which will be given Monday
night, will, it is hoped. bring with its
social success the financial aid which
with the high cost of all commodities
is SO necessary for the continuance of
the splendid endeavors of the society.
