Conscientious souls in Shanghai at the moment have difficulty in recon-oiling their pleasures and their charities. They still, heaven be praised, enjoy a good time but when they think of others less fortunate they feel that they should be rolling bandages or caring for the wounded instead stepping out and being frivolous, The King's Daughters' Society has solved such problems happily by auging a bridge and mahjongg party for the benefit of its soup kitchen, to be held in 677 Rue Bourgeat n Wednesday next, at 330 p.m. Tables are $5 each and may be reserved by telephoning 70359 mornings between 8-10. In this way one's entertainment may be made to contribute to an excellent cause. Indeed, so efficiently are the finances of the KD.S. managed that a very little money goes a long way and those who take a table will thereby give at least fifty foreigners one good hot meal. So here is an occasion where joy and duty will not clash and pleasure and profit may be well combined. Verbum sap.
