BENEFIT GARDEN
PARTY PLANS MADE
Everything in Readiness for
House of Mercy Affair in
Cathedral Close.

Tlans have been completed for the
annual garden party for the benefit
of the House of Mercy. which will be
held in the Cathedral Close, on Wis
cutSin avenue from 5 o'clock until !
on the afternoon of Tuesday, May IS.
1t is planned TO make a regular

uf the garden party this year. The
supper will be Il full course affair
and il is expected that il will attract
scores of persons who would enjoy

In addition, there will be light re-
freshments for those who prefer less
substantial suStenance. A large num-
ber of booths have also been arranged
for. where cakes, candy, soft drinks,
fancy goods and the like may be pur-
chased. Dancing may also be enjoyed
and music for this. feature will be
furnished by the Fort Myer Band.
Will Aid Children.
All the money from this garden
party, which has come to be recog-
niZed as one of the most attractive
given every year in the National
capital will be contributed to the
support Of the House of Mercy, which
is located at Nlingle road and Rose
mont avenue. AS d 1tSutt' tHoFNV w nv
patronizc the party are assured by
the board Of managers that besides
the intrinsic returns it may give them
in attractive things, ii Will give the
added pleasure Of knowing that II
will be used to brighten the lives this
Summer of little children and unfor-
tunate mothers who might otherwise
Swelter through the long, hot months
unaided.
The House of Mercy was founded
in 1911 by Mrs. Julian James, Who
not only donated the ground on
which it now stands, but also gave the
necessary funds for the building. AT
present the House of Mercy operates
under interest obtained from several
endowments, but depends for essential
additional funds upon the phllan-
thropy of the general public and It's
personal friends The annual garden
party offers one Of the ways in which
the public can help.
Mothers Are Youthful.
The mission of the House Of Mercy
is caring for young unmarried
mothers and their babies. The
average age of the girls is 16, but
some are as young as IA and others
are older. The only requirement inn
posed upon the girls accepting the
help of the House of Mercy is that
they remain its guests for a year, and
in the case of the very young ones
that they remain for two years.
The House of Mercy takes care of
the children, too, and in many cases
finds homes for those whose mothers
do not wish to rear them. Deaconess
Yeo is now in charge of the home,
and the number of letters she has
received from girls who accepted the
assistance of the house and have
since found success in life after all
testifies to the beneficial results the
House of Mercy is achieving.

JOLLY TESTERS
AT The GRAND
this EVENING

| One of the finest acts ever appearing
in this city is the Six Jolly testers in
a saxaphone revue at the Grand Tues
day night. The act is featuring Curley
Monnett, who is one of the foremost
saxaphone "teasers2
Several novelty numbers will be
played as we'll as the many popular
numbers, and some classical music.
The Dunhills are considered by the
press and public to be the most unusual
and surprising entertainers who create
plenty of laughter and applause to the
most critical audience, owing to their
unusual vaudeville offering, which is
an oddity of things that you hear and
see in the very-day walk of life.
Comedy that brings spontaneous
laughter every minute is one of the
features.
Blom and Duel, young chap and a
pretty and talented miss, comprise the
personnel of this team. They present
their comedy creation called Bits of
Nonsense" consisting of comedy, sing
ing and patter arranged and presented
to make a most amusing hit of vaude
vile. 1t is a great comedy number ess
sayed by two sterling artists of ability
and class.
From out of the west comes Tex
Terry with his ropes and pistols. He
handles these with proficiency that
shows years of practice and all of his
tricks are unique, demonstrative and
wonderfully, sensational. His feats are
original and amaze and astound an
audience making the act the peer of
all vaudeville novelties. 1t is put over
in a finished, polished and careful
manner that will delight and entertain
an audience to the limit.
Sax and Wood are also a decidedly
clever and entertaining, couple who
present an offering under the title of
"a Rural Courtship," which has the
semblance of delightfully."- interesting
skit as they, portray it. Words and
music are especially written for them
and serve to entertain here and there
with a harmony song interspersed. The
ac tbs a wonderfully entertaining and
highly amusing bit that will remain in
the memory of everybody who is for
tunate enough to witness it.

Needy Family Must Haze
Quick Financial Aid To
Get Back to Their Home

Through the Doug7as Chamber of
commerce and Mines an attempt is be-
ing made by generous hearted citizens
OF Douglas to raise a sum of money to
aid needy family who have been the
victims of an automobile accident and
whose need is really great A request
for aid in this matter was published in
The Dispatch at the time of the find
ing of Aimee Semple Mcpherson and
the stress of excitement caused MANY
to forget the needy family.
Their need is more pressing because
of the delay than it would otherwise
have been. They must have funds to
enable them to return to their home in
Oklahoma. The family consists of the
father and mother and three little chill
dren, the youngest only four months
old and the elder but six years. The
father was injured in an automobile ac-
cident several months ago and was
cared for until he was able to be
about, but it will be more weary
months before he will be able to work
and in the meantime the little ones
cannot be allowed to starve.
The secretary of the chamber of COM
merce or the officers of the Douglas
chapter of the Red Cross will accept
your contribution. Either of these
agencies will give you any requested
information as to the merits of the
case. The amount needed is $175.OO.
