AVA that the party which is usually given
on October II dhe late Mr. William
Chapin's birthday out at the Chaplin Me-
mortal Home for the Aged Blind, is to be
held next Thursday. They could not have

study how to prepare for the blind soldiers
and how to help them. Mrs. Woodward il
the only one of the sixty to whom I refei
