Salvation Army
Leaders Appeal
Wins Fifth Ave.
Leaders of Society and
Fashion Choke Back Sobs
and Pledge Support in
Drive for Service Fund

A slightly built woman with pierc-
ing black eyes and a wealth Of red
brown hair, garbed in the uniform of
the Salvation Army, stood in the
library of Vincent Astor's home, at $40
Fifth Avenue, yesterday, and talked
for an hour and a half to a hundred
of New York's leaders of fashion and
society. Her words brought sobs to
their throats. Her pleadings sent
them forth each and every one de-
termined to outdo herself in raising
money next week for the Salvation
Army home service fund
The speaker was Evangeline Booth,
commander in-chief of the Salvation
Army in the United States. Her audi
ence included such well-known women
as Mrs. j. Borden Hartman, Mrs. Aus
tin Gray, Mrs. Frank Gray Griswold,
Mrs. Reginald Fink, Miss Ethel Eldreo,
Mrs. Orme Wilson, jr., Mrs. Sidney
Borg and Mrs. Gloster Armstrong.
They and the others present compose
the womens executive committee of
the Greater New York committee in
charge of the Salvation Army's coun-
trywide drive for $13 100000.
Mrs. Griswold was chairman and in
troduced Commander Booth.
Commander Booth contrasted the
position of the Salvation Army to-day,
following its splendid war service, and
that which it held in public estimation
a few years back. She termed the
change "both pathetic and romantic" !"
"Our war service attracted atten-
tion," she said, "because it was
rendered in the glare of the battlefield
with all eyes focused on us. Yet it
was not new service rendered in a
new way, but an old service in an old
way. Those of our women who served
the men in khaki at the front have
been called heroines. They were
heroines, yet the real heroines, to nv
mind, are the women who for wears.
unknown and unheralded, have been
going down, down into the depths 10
succor the unfortunate.
1.-THE real heroines are the nurses in
our hospitals and rescue homes who
work eighteen hours a day and some
times more, who never know a nights
sleep that is unbroken. Hundreds of
women now in happy homes of their
own, with the music of their own
chlldren's happy prattle sounding in
their ears, bear witness to the heroism
of these Hundreds more in good posi-
tons, respected by themselves and by
their fellows, bear witness to it,"
Commander Booth impressed upon
her hearers the great impetus that
would be given the Salvation Army's
work in the slums and in prisons and
among the poor and the fallen if the
officers of the organization were re-
lieved of the necessity of devoting
much of their time to raising money
to carry on their work.
Dollars for Doughnuts" will be the
slogan of the Salvation Army drive,
which will formally open tomorrow
afternoon with a mass meeting in
Madison Square Garden. Secretary of
War Baker and Commander Booth will
be the chief speakers.
William S. Farmer of Syracuse,
Masonic Grand Master, has informe d
the committee that every Mason will
be asked to contribute generously to
the Salvation Army fund.
