gotten by many. Each member is
pledged TO make or to send two new gar
ments OF substantial nature for men,
women. or children. These are not
given to beggars at the door, but are dis
pensed by ladies, who visit the homes
and minister intelligently 10 the real
needs of those who suffer for clothing
The chairman makes an earnest appeal
for speedy fulfilment OF the pledges, as
800 garments ought to be the result OF
the enrolment and To this time only li6
pieces have been sent, and Immediately
distributed. Let every member Of the
guild redeem her pledge at once at the
small sacrifice TO her convenience and
pleasure, and make glad and comfortable
many weary mothers and helpless chill
dren.
