This religious Order has been the worst hit of all the Catholic Orders. They have no convent in America. Mrs. MICHAEL GUINAN and Miss BRIDIE LYNE sisters of the nuns live at 443—55th St., B’ly., N. Y. and have been receiving pathetic letters from the good sisters. An entertainment and dance to aid this worthy cause will be sponsored by the Kerry Men, the Kerry Ladies Ass’n., the Tralee Social Club, the Kerry team and other organizations.
