q " Crawford, Mrs. Ross Smith, at
the head Of any activity spell success
and when tell you that the most peauli-
f6l and elaborate preparations are peliis
,,,ada nv these officers and others or the
old Elyton chapter of the Daughters Oh
+be American Revolution, for the annual
golf tournament which will be helo at
the Roebuck Springs club next saturqay'
I'm sure you'll be interested.
And, better still, when l tell you tna'
the beneficiaries this year of the an
nual golf tournament given by the ola
Elyton chapter will be the little french
war orphans who are alone and unpro-
tected in this big old cruel world be-
cause of the frightful war which has de-
nrived them of their daily bread, as well
as of father and mother and home, and
everything that is near and dear to them
I know you'll be doubly Interested.
There is no war activity of all the many
which appeals more insistently to Amer
leans than the French war orphans; SO
pitiful, so pathetic, SO bereft, is the SIT
uation, and who is there in all the wide
world that can resist the pleadings of a
fatherless and motherless babe?
The good women OF the old Elyton
chapter are going to adopt one OF the
little French war orphans with the
money they make from the tournament
next Saturday; it's splendid cause; 1t
deserves eneoura cement and those in
charge are not asking for money just
plain So" but they are going to give
a beautiful party and let you get your
moneys WORTH day at Roebuck
Springs during this beautiful spring
time is worth more than all the tonics in
bottles you could buy, and when you ar
rive at the pretty clubhouse you will find
everything wonderfully attractive; a big
tournament in the morning, a flag tour
nament; a delicious luncheon served at
noon, and another golf match in the aft
ernoon-could any day be more delight
fully planned? And in addition, you
have a chance to win one of the beauti-
full trophies in the tournament.
And if you don't play golf there will
be lots of other pleasant things to do;
card tables for those who wish to play
bridge will be arranged on the wide
spacious verandas, and if you don't play
bridge or golf either, then you can enjoy
yourself in big, comfortable rocking
chair and knit and talk, and every wom-
an can do that. G mean talk.)
Last year. said Mrs Locke, who
with Mrs. Earle has been most active in
her work for the golf tournament S
success I'VE donated the proceeds from
the tournament to the rural schools. and
of course, the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton are still interested in this work and
deavor to sponsor the most pressing
needs of the day and of course today
war work takes precedent over every
thing else. The Daughters of the Revo-
luton have already raised funds suffi-
Gent for the reconstruction of a devas-
tated French village, and 1T is the object
now to help the French war orphans
The members of the old Elyton chapter
hope to realize sufficient funds to en-
able us to adopt one of the little Frsnct
orphans and take care of the child prop
erly and comfortably, and it is for this
we are inviting the public to join US
through the tournament planned fol
next Saturday"
Among the many gratifying reports
which have been received from thu
French people of their appreciation Of
American sympathy toward the war or.
