Last year, owing to the I I unusual demands upon the charitable i people of Denver by the various socie- I ' ties, the Good Shepherd Aid associa- f i tlon deemed it expedient to forego its j annual ball, so it is heped the people ! this year will work doubly hard to !

The work of the Sis- l tors of the Good Shepherd is recognized , I ; and appreciated by all classes and con- ditions of Denver's society, so doubt- I less this call for aid will meet with a I ready and hearty response.
