and preparations going on for the
many entertainments of, the winter,
those who are interested in philan-
thropic and charitable affairs are TAX
ing advantage of the dull period to
raise funds for the work ahead. Some
how there always seems TO be need
Of funds. Reconstruction work pro-
crosses slowly, and while there is no
war many appeals are being made in
behalf of those still suffering from
its effects.
One of the first of the entertain
ments for relief work will be the ex-
hibtion of Lieut.. Henri Fares paint
ings Of the "Sky Fighters of France"
in the Anderson Galleries beginning
on Wednesday of this week. The pro-
ceeds will be devoted to the organi-
cation known rs the Fatherless Chill 4
dren of France. These paintings have
been shown all over the United States
and already have gained for the fund
considerable money.
Mrs. Leland Eggleston Cofer, who
was Miss Luisita Leland, has given
much of her time to the aid Of these
unfortunate French children and it is
through her efforts that the exhibition
win be held. The paintings were
shown here more than a year ago
for brief period. They will remain
in the Anderson Galleries for three
weeks.
