A HANDKERCHIEF STALL.
At q Fair 1t Was Very Grea
Success.

AT u III "uo n very
In these days Of Christmas bazaars and
sales for charity everything available is ex-
posed for sale and handkerchief stall at a
recent church fair was a great success.
All sizes and varieties OF handkerchefs were
displayed, from gay pictorial ones for the
children (not, of course, the monstrosities
that are supposed to crafty the heather,
but dainty affairs, with tiny brownies and
Kate Greenaway fgures) through the gamut
of silk, linen, cambric, bandana and lace
Muflers were included, and dolls handker-
chiefs as we'll. Dozens and dozens Of plain
white linen handkerchiefs, with narrow
stitched hens. were sold. These were OBJ
tanned at wholesale and were taken in hand
by a number of young churchwomen, who
could embroder. and small initials were
worked in one corner. 1t is known that the
greater number of Christian names begin
with A, B, c and M, SO these initials predom-
mated. The handkerchiefs were sold at 25
cents each, and their sale was so large that
the supply was exhausted the second night
of the fair. Orders were then taken for fu-
ture delivery, and the scheme netted more
dollars than any other one of the undertake
ings. The attractive part of the handkerchief
seemed to be the daintness Of the letter; in
NJ case was it more than half an inch high.
Out of the success has been formed per-
manent handkerchief circle, whose members
take orders at any time for these handker-
chiefs.
