Last night was a true SUN Tobacco
FUND night In both the principal Dor
oughs In Brooklyn occurred the Moi
fatt street neighbors party for which
80 great preparation was made. The
decorations were profuse and beautiful
and in all other details the event mer-
tied to be called a banner one. The
various committees had worked harmo-
niously and with great enthusias SIN.
There was almost an embarrassment Of
gifts to be sold, but the bidding was
lively and nothing had to be sacrificed.
This Moffatt street party merits a longer
notice than can be accorded 1t here
owing to the fact that these parties are
late in beginning and details all merge
at view into one mass of splendor; later
moro may be said about 1t.
Rivalling 1t in a friendly way the
neishbors of Linden street between
Knickerbocker and Irving avenues had a
splendid block warming. Here. too. the
women on the committees worked WON
ders. Transforming the block into a Sec
ton out of Paradise. Joseph Joel, who
Is connected with big moving picture
company. was successful in bringing sew
eral entertainers to the party. and Bor-
ough President Riegelmann made an elo-
quent speech on the unfurling of the
flag to honor by its stars the boys from
the block who are fighting for the honor
of the country.
Up in Sixtieth street between Column
bus and Amsterdam avenues a block
party managed by a large committee
of the residents headed by Raymond
Frantz of IA Columbus avenue took
place last night Several motion pic
ture artists connected with studios in
the neighbcrhood had volunteered to
help the party because the proceeds were
to go to THE SUN Tobacco Fund, and
| they helped make the parade picturesque.
