To Cincinnati Members.
On Monday evening, November 18th, at Avon Hall, Avondale, your city, there is to be a literary reception, at which will be exhibited the collection of rare literary treasures which belong, in part, to the School Fund, or have been loaned by publishers for its benefit. There are also to be explanations of how magazines are made; how pictures are prepared; stories about famous authors and artists, all told by a man who has been long in journalism and long in contact with those who make periodicals. While the reception is a local affair, your attendance will help the School Fund, and all Cincinnati members are earnestly urged to go.
Entertainments for the Fund.
Besides the literary reception in Cincinnati there are not a few holiday entertainments being planned for the Fund. Can there not be more? One is in Winsted, Conn., by the John Burroughs Chapter. Lady Gertrude Clare, 234 Garside Street, Newark, N.J., is willing to send some things for a fair. John H. Campbell. Jun., 413 School Lane, Germantown, wants to hear from other Philadelphia members who will help him in something in aid of the Fund. This is a good beginning. Shall we hear from more?
