BOSTON'S social season is beginning to get into shape 
and as usual many affairs of a charity nature are be- 
ing arranged. First of all—the Militia of Mercy, which 
is an outgrowth of the Woman’s American Supply League 
founded by Mrs. John Hays Hammond, has arranged a 
theatrical entertainment of unusual merit that is to take 
place at the Boston Opera House on Friday afternoon, 
Nov. 3, for the benefit of the little victims of infantile 
paralysis. 
A number of the debutantes will make their first 
appearance at the subscription dance which is to be given 
on Friday evening, Nov. 10, at the Copley-Plaza for the 
benefit of the Sunnyside Day Nursery, as some of the 
boxes and tables have been reserved for them. A few of 
the ushers for the dance are Lester Leland, John S. Law- 
rence, T. P. Curtis, Samuel Eliot and George von L. 
Meyer, Jr., who will be in charge. The committee who 
are arranging the affair are Mrs. Francis B. Crownin- 
shield, Mrs. Louis Bacon, Mrs. James F. Curtis, Mrs. 
Quincy A. Shaw, Jr., and Mrs. C. F. Lyman. 
Prominent people from all over New England have 
united to make the great Allied bazaar which is to be held 
in Mechanic’s Building, Dec. 9-20, even a more glittering 
success than was the great exhibit that enchanted New 
York. The committee in charge are joined by ladies and 
gentlemen prominent in other States, members of the 
British nobility, and others whose names are known in 
this country and in those which are fighting the Teutonic 
powers. In the list of the chairman of the booth com- 
mittees are found some of the most prominent people of 
Greater Boston and New England, who have volunteered 
their time and service to make this great bazaar in aid of 
the suffering people of the Entente the greatest affair of 
its kind ever held in this country. 
The Jumble Shop, on the ground floor of Warren 
Chambers, 415 Boylston street, will be opened privately 
Nov. 1 and publicly the next day in behalf of several 
French War Relief funds. When the private opening 
is held, tea will be served between 3 and 6 o'clock 
under the direction of Mrs. I. Tucker Burr.
