= T IS nothing short OF amazing
what concerted action viii do
4 even in our pleasures. From the
c-fete east comes word Of a tremend-
Gus auction bridge project which may
be the means Of netting the Red Cross
s100,O50-capitalizin our fun, we
might say, and in which FL Pas0 has
an opportunity 10 do her share The
reprint is from a recent message sent
TO the Philadelphia Public Ledger and
reads
"A group o. women who have made
pleasure pay-whO have done their
patriotic Bit by turning one Of their
pastimes 10 charitable account-have
contributed $4,000 raised through
auction bridge to the American Red
Cross. and. in this city and elsewhere
are continuing their good work in
an effort 10 raise 100000 for that or
sanitation.
Those who have made such a
splendid contribution are the auction
players who, with Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer
as their guiding spirit. began last
March what was formally called the
Associated Cities OF the United States
of America Auction Chain Fund
The idea was that the players at
the first auction bridge party, which
was given by Mrs Pulitzer and was an
tribute 81 for her place and then
should give a four table party Each
player AZ a four table game should
contribute 81 and subsequently give
a three table party, and so on until at
the last party each hostess should
conduct a one table affair.
The chain was for the benefit Of
she American Red Cross and the suf-
ferers from infautile paralysis. If It
were played out to the last link-each
player her OWn-the total sum raised
would be 5000. 600. The time limit set
when the plan originally was put into
operation was September l.
with our own soldiers pouring IN
90 France and soon TO need the minis
rration Of the Red Cross, and with
that organization finding immediate
uses for every dollar Il can possibly
raise, the early hostesses Of the chain
are urging upon those who should
form links further out in the great
structure 10 hasten its completion.
Auction bridge players, wherever
they may be during the summer
Months certainly will devote some Of
their spare hours toward playing the
game Why then should they not add
20 their pleasure the patriotic feeling
chat they are aiding toward the kind
- care that VIII be given TO American
bows who are fighting on the other
side OF the world 20 keep America
free and bring liberty TO other ma
rions2
IAN auction bridge players, whether
0r not they may have been connected
with this particular chain. are urged

ne American Red Cross. No matter
how small any gift from auction
players viii be gladly received and
