Auxiliary Card
Party Success

The social event of the week, and
the most successful affair given in
the history of the American legion
auxiliary in Brownsville, according
to members, was the bridge party
for the benefit of the auxiliary
held at the Country club Thursday

George were hostesses at the at
fair, which was attended by more
than one hundred women OF
Brownsville and the Valley. The
Country club formed a delightful
setting for the function. A profu-
sion Of spring flowers transformed
the club rooms into a bower of
beauty which was a fitting back
ground for the dainty summer coS-
times of the players.
Twenty-Five tables, including
three of brisca, were occupied for
the games. Proceeds from the af-
fair will be applied by the local
auxiliary to the support of the hos
pital, Fairgrounds, and other ia
cilities at Legion, near Kerrville.
These projects are provided by
auxiliaries of the state for the bene-
fit of tubercular service men who
are in the hospital there.
Prizes for the afternoon were
awarded to MesdameS r. B.
Schwartz, Burt Hinkley, Jr.. o. I.
