The Junior league is calling December 3 Peter Plump day as it is to be a benefit for the Peter Plump station of the Infant Welfare society of Chicago. - The children at this time will be given an opportunity to help Peter Plump, already known to many as the station where their birthday pennies are sent. The play to be given by the league at that time is "Rose and the Ring," the clever performance that had its premiere last week, and a production as interesting to adults as it is to youngsters. Peter Plump will appear in a delightful pantomine dance "Tempt- ing Peter Plump," in which an evil spirit tries to persuade Peter to for- sake the teaching of an Infant Welfare nurse and tempts him with many lusci- ous morsels which he finally refuses. In the end he is rewarded by a nurse who appears with the food he is sup- posed to have. Those in charge state, "Let us sup- port Peter Plump in his good work with a capacity audience." Tickets will be on sale in the box office of the Harris theater, where the performance is to be given. All Infant Welfare branches are in- terested in the work at the Peter Plump, the station supported mostly by children, and fitted out in a charming manner by the Junior league. It is hoped that in time the birthday pennies of children in Chicago and along the north shore will support it entirely.
