The annual meeting OF the Virginia
Needlework Guild will be held Friday
next at the Woman's Christian Associa-
zion building. when an attendance of all
members is urgently requested. The time
for the meeting will be half-past 4
o'clock. So quietly has the Guild gone on
with It's work that its object IS not gem
orally known, as IT deserves 10 be. It's
object Is the exercise Of charity through
discriminating channels. and 1t aims to
reach, and does reach. n class Of poor
who could never be helped by less deli
cate and quiet means. Its beneficiaries
are. I'm many cases, the genteel pOor-re-
duced gentlefolk-who would shrink from
applying for aid. There are no more
pitiable people in all the world, and a
charity which seeks TO help them can
scarcely fail to appeal to all. The guild
has but one officer, and there is no red
tape or superfuous intricacy about fits
organization.
