For the past few weeks Mrs. T. II.
Dale has been indefatigable in her
efforts to arrange a popular means by
which the funds of the Home for the
Friendless might receive much need
ed addition. She hit upon a clever
scheme in the shape of Il pillow sale,
the results of which will net the Home
something over one hundred dollars.
Mrs. Dale and Miss Dale made many
pillows and solicited enough more to
fill every available spot in the large
drawing room. The variety comprised
those of exquisite painted satin, others
richly embroidered. Turkish, hammock
and every other sort of pillow which
the busy brain and hand of woman can
devise. one that attracted much at
tention and occupied the post of honor
was a magnificent white satin sofa pill
low, embroidered in roses so beauti-
fully wrought that the effect rivaled the
most exquisite work of the brush. 1t
was the gift of Mrs. w. II. Perkins and
was truly a marvellous affair, for in
stead of down, it was filled with rose
leaves, the fragrance of which pervad-
ed the rooms. About three bushels of
rose leaves entered into it's compost
tion. The pillow brought ten dollars
and will go to Pittsburg as a wedding
present.
The merry Workers" had a table
in an adjoining room where they dis
posed of articles left over from their
recent fair. A candy table whose sup
plies We're largely the gifts of c. $.

ure. Megargee Brothers contributed
wrapping paper and beautiful pillows
were given by Mr.. Cleland, of the
Globe store. Finley, Lebeck & Corin,
