several different sources, and the ur.
gent and constant need for a little
more money keeps the managers ac-
tive all the year around in the strug-
gle to make both ends meet.
First the forty odd directors tax
themselves $50 or 500 apiece each
year. Next they impose an entrance
fee, SO to speak, on the c%onsignors or
such persons as desire to procure the
privileges Of the exchange for some
gentlewoman who is in need. This fec
is a mere trifle. Any person contrib
uting So yearly may name three con-
signors whose work will be taken on
sale.
Then 10 per cent commission Is
charged on all sales that are made.
AS these average between $4,000 and
$4,000 a year, this item of receipts il
the largest. All these together, how
ever, do not aggregate enough to pay
expenses, and the exchange is there
fore dependent upon the liberality Of
it's friends to make up deficits.
A visit to the exchange commonly re-
suits in the astonishment of the visitor.
AS said,' tine consignors are all ladies
of culture who have been reduced in
circumstances. This class in the COM
munity is larger than most people sup
pose or can easily realize, excepting by
remembering that over 80 per cen Of
American business men fail.
These ladies commonly excel in some
one thing, and the advice of the man
ayers to them is always to do that par
ticular thing, whether it be painting
IN ivory, embroidering in velvet or
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1899-10-03

cooking crullers. So it m about
that whatever is on sale is probably
the very best of its kind, being pro-
duced by some lady who learned to
make 1t either as an accomplishment
or for amusement.
The bewildering variety Of objects
displayed a be imagined when it is
remembered that there are several
hundreds of the consignors. The re-
port for year, for instance, showed
that in a total Of $51, OOO sales over
$4,000 was received for cake and near
~ $500 for preserves. Decorated
china, fancy screens, children's wrap
pers, chicken jelly and lace lamp
shades are some Of the numerous items
In the catalogue.
In addition to the primary work that
was undertaken Of enabling women to
reach their customers, the managers
have undertaken several branches of
what may be called auxiliary effort.
For example, they have started dress
making classes for society girls and
have succeeded in securing nearly so
pupils among the wealthy and educat-
ed young women of the metropolis. OF
course these pupils pay for their tut
ton and so help to support the ex-
change. At the same time they are
providing for their own support in
case they should ever have to earn
their living.
There are other classes in stenogra-
ply, in millinery, in Delsarte, in yene-
tian embroidery and in cooking, and
there is also a shopping bureau"
which Is well patronized and affords a
living to more than n employee. Be-
sides this, a school for general culture
has been opened in the country, of
which a separate chapter could easily
be written.
The effects of this bene1cent move
mentor the ladies term it benef-
cence rather than charity, as 1t is not
giving so much as guiding that they
do-are widespread and great. Begin
ming ! n q modest way in a compare
lively small house in Twentieth street,
the exchange sold the first year only
about $1,000 worth Of goods. Now. as
said, the sales are about $4,000 year
ly, and the association has paid more
than half a million dollars to its bene-
iciaries. More than that, there have
been similar exchanges to the number
of 60 established in very many Of the
principal cities of the country. \
There is no reason why one should
not be established in every large COM
munity under rules fashioned accord
ing to the necessities of the place, and
certainly there seems 70 have been no
plan devised by which more Intelligent
help can be given to people who de-
serve help and need it more sorely
than almost any other class. Partial
reports from the 60 societies tell that
they have paid to gentlewomen over
$1,5OO,OO0.

EVENING Of GOOD MUSIC
THE ROYAL SCHOOL CONCERT AT
PROGRESS HALL.
Some of the Finest Chorus Singing
Ever Heard in acknowledgement
Directed by Mrs. Tucker.

Progress hall was crowded last ev-
ening on the occasion of the concert
by the Royal School and city talent.
Quite u shower fell about the time
people were assembling, but this had
no perceptible effect upon the attend.
ance. Mrs. A. b. Tucker had charge
of the program. She was ably assist
ed by Miss Carrie Castle, Mrs. c. b..
Cooper, Miss Maud Kinney and II. NJ.
Mott-Smith.
The first number was a chorus,
March from Norma, by boys of the
Royal school. This was well present
ed and met with general applause.
Another chorus, 1.-The Sea is a Jovial
Comrade." followed. This was by
boys of the fifth and sixth grade. The
next number, violin and piano solos,
by Miss Maud Kinney and Miss Carrie
Castle as accompanist, was a feature
of the first half of the program.
a trio by Chinese girls was a novelty
of the program. BLOW Balmy Breath
of Spring was presented in a very
creditable style and was well received.
Three violincello solos by II. NJ. Mott
Smith closed the first half of the pro-
gram.
In the second half of the program
the boys of the Royal School appear
ed in something like half dozen eX-
cellent choruses. A recitation and
chorus directed by Mrs. c. b. Cooper
and carried out by the boys, was one
of the most pleasing numbers on the
program. 1t came just before the
close of the evening. 1t was in this
part of the program that the piano
playing of Miss Carrie Castle was no.
ticed and so much enjoyed.
The entertainment was over at $3.50.
1t is little to say that everyone pres
ent thoroughly enjoyed it. The pro-
ceeeds of the concert go toward fit
ting the Royal school with certain APP
pliances required by the pupils.
The chorus singing was pronounced
about the best ever put on by local
school. There were 100 boys in near
ly all of the groups.
Mrs. Kinney, Miss Hopper and
Schernstein assisted as accompanies.

Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really
a the long run, the cheapest and best light
tor usein the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
re safer. A few days ago prominent gem
tIeman of Honolulu came rushing down to
lhe Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want 1t done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
10 near setting fire to the house and burning
ay children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number In
che past few weeks, who have ordered their
douSes fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
Tor the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
hem what you WALL
We have a complete stock Of everything in
his line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers

WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE POOR.

Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when a favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage OF
it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlains Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until nee
essity compels it and then ruin his best
horse going for doctor and have big
doctor bill to pay, besides; one pays out
rs cents the other is out a hundred dor
lars and then wonders why his neighbor
is getting richer while he is getting
poorer. For sale by all dealers and
druggists. Benson, Smith & Company,
general agents, Hawaiian Islands.
