Appreciating this condition, and anxious to meet the 5,000-a-month cir- cul.lflon demand that the library has rienced since its opening, the Wood- idge Garden Club has arranged an en- 'emlnment to take place tomorrow night at the Sherwood Sunday School Hall, Twenty-second and Rhode Island avenue northeast. The entire proceeds from this entertalnment, it was ex- plained by A. R. Hester, correspond- ing secretary of the club, today, will be used to buy reference books to be do- nated to the library and to pay for the planting of the two flower beds in front of the library. ‘The program will include the showing of a motion picture depicting the Wash- ington of the future and a one-nctglly entitled “Mr. Woodridge Hires a dener.” Eastern Star Chapter Instituted.
