All Asked to Co-Oporato. I ' "With the reports of this and tho other I committees in hand, the ladles will be ready to take up the real work of pre-I pre-I paring for the entertainment of the ' orphans on Elks' day, and.

Liberal Terms Granted. Tho Lagoon management has given the Elks' lodge very liberal terms for the celebration, making It possible to give tho children the time of their lives and at the same tlmo realize a hand-I hand-I some sum to be handed over to the ln- I stltutlons, that the benefit may not be for a day only. The children will be i not only the guests of the Elks and their families for the day, but the i guests of the Lagoon as well, every 1 form of amusement at the resort being j 'absolutely free to them. It Is the Idea of tho ladJes now to have every little orphan girl dressed for tho day in a pretty white gown with a purple sash, while the boyo will wear white shirt waists with purple neckties. neck-ties. They will he taken right Into the families of the Ellis and their friends, and the sports -will be In common. Will Entertain Children. !

Lunch will '(be served on the grounds at 11 a, m. and dinner about 5 p. m., with plenty of lemonade, soda water, Ice cream and candy between meale, so that If every little orphan doesn't have a good time i It will be because ho doesn't play hard enough to keep his stomach in good I condition. : Mrs. A. n. Tarbet was elected presl- ! dent of the woman's auxiliary, which ! I is to have the affair In direct charge, over her protest that she may have to j leave the cl(y before the work Is com- pleted.
