Lynn Admire is a nine year old infantile paralysis patient. He became ill with polio three years ago, causing paralysis on his right side. Through treatments made possible by locally raised funds, Lynn has regained the use of his right leg. His right hand, however remains immobile. Fort Worth, Texas is hosting a benefit to raise funds for Lynn and other children with infantile paralysis. The bridge party will be held at the Hotel Texas. Lynn is shown sitting on the steps of the porch, wearing a pinstripe dress shirt, necktie, and striped trousers.
