Anent Chain Parties.

Anent Chain Parties.
action was taken last night by
the finance committee in regard to
the chain parties. There has been
considerable difficulty experienced in
finding guests who have not been in
vited before, so the following new
rule has been adopted:
Each guest, by accepting an invi-
tation to a Red Cross chain party
obligates himself or herself to en-
terrain at least one time. After
that, as many invitations may be ac-
cepted as the individual chooses, and
their obligation ceases with the pay
ment of a quarter Each hostess is
asked to entertain at least one guest
who has either never been entertain
ed before or who is willing to again
become a hostess. In this way the
chain will not be broken. :
Up to January 20, seventy-f1ve
hostesses had entertained and $83.25
had been received. This means that
there have been 800 guests, and two
hundred of whom have never enter
tanned.
