BPW members visit needy children. Something more than the music, dancing and glamour will thrill these two junior members of the Business and Professional Women's Club at the Goodfellows Ball Nov. 25 at Hotel Texas. Miss Olive Tucker (left) and Miss Edalee Chrismon (right) also will enjoy the knowledge that every dollar paid for a ticket, admitting a couple, will go to the Star-Telegram Goodfellows Fund to brighten Christmas for just such children of poverty as are pictured here. A crust of dry bread induced the shy little girl to tell Miss Tucker about the visit from the Goodfellows last Christmas but for the infant in the arms of Miss Crismon it will be the first Yuletide. Goodfellows. Business and Professional women visiting the poor. Miss Olive Tucker, left, and Miss Edalee Chrismon visiting in home of poverty striken family. Photograph of two women and two children in the kitchen of a ramshackle house. There is a small girl, dressed in dirty, ragged clothing, eating bread. One of the women is standing behind her, smiling. The other woman is holding an infant, wrapped in a dirty, white blanket. The women are dressed elegantly, wearing dresses, hats, gloves, and fur stoles. Published Fort Worth Star Telegram Morning Edition November 17, 1940.
