The great tile roof of Providence Hospital will echo with the patter of dainty toes tomorrow night, when a charity dance for the benefit of the free dispensary will be given on the roof, under the direction of a com- mittee of social workers assisting the Sisters of Charity. The United States Marine Band will furnish the music. Society leaders and a number of professional and business men and women are alding to make the dance a financial success, as the proceeds are to be devoted ex- clusively to the free medical work of Providence Dispensary. The free work of Providence, it was said today, has increased to such an extent that funds are urgently re- quired in order to maintain it at a high plane of efficiency. A staff of eminent speclalists in every depart- ment of medicine devotes considera- ble time weekly to free treatment of cases from all parts of the District. Tickets for the charity dance are procurable at Providence Hospital. Davis Addresses Graduates, Col. Dwight F.
