The Financial Drive for the Y. W. C. A.
of Chicago is coming to close with many
happy hearts and many friends. We
wish to thank our Captains and Workers
also the public at large for their kindness
and generosity during the Drive, for they
did work faithfully. There are too many
people in Chicago helping with their good
will towards the Y. w. C. A. for us not to
win Everyone who believes in the cause
has been faithful friend to us. for during
these rapid-fire campaigns it is hard to
keep our poise when everyone gets all
whirled around and loses their equilibrium.
