RUARY 1928.

Some brought hoxes of clothing and others packages of food. In few instances were names asked or given. Many Give Help. Offers of other kinds of help came to the family. Late yesterday a young woman knocked at the door and an- nounced that she was a nurse from Providence Hospital and would be glad to donate her services to Mrs. Car- ricks. Shortly afterward came a nurse from the Instructive Visiling Nurse Soclety. ‘The Baptist clergyman who came to arrange for the funeral left a sub- stantial sum to be used to buy cloth~ ing for the three older boys. Mrs. Carricks, still awaiting confine- ment, hardly realizes the situation as yet, relatives said today. The family has been put in reasonably comfor:able circumstances for a few days, but will be badly in need of more help after the : funeral. The pathetic circumstances of the | | family evidently aroused consideravle | sympethy among a much wider grou p than was represented by those who | called at the house today. | At the Gayety Theater last night an | account of the tragedy was read from | the stage and contributions taken from | the audience. stage hands and actors and actresses, which amounted to $126.17.
