The rummage shop already presents an
interesting scene. There viii be found
articles of all kinds and at phenomenally
low prices. Among the donations are
clothes of all descriptions from discarded
bail gowns, dress suits, velvet wraps, hats
bathing suits, and childreu's garments to
old boots and shoes. Besides these there
are pictures, curtains rugs, lamps, odd sets
of china, toys, books, sachels. and areticles
of any and every kind. Contributions may
be added from time to time and while the
ladies sincerely thank those who have
already made donations, they wish 20
make an appeal to the public for further
contributions After all to the thrifty
housewife 1t is an opportunity TO get rid
Of the accumulation of years. Attic and
cellar may thus be cleared of undesired
contents. Even the smallest trifle which
to the possessor seems a bit of rubbish, is
gladly accepted, as there are people by
whom such trihes can be made useful.
The ladies thank all those who have as
sisted them in the undertaking, and
among others the Morning News, for
printing of hand bills; Mr. Bernard for
distributing them; the District Messenger
Service, for use of wagon in collecting
contributions; the Mutual Gas office; the
E. and W. Laundry; Messrs Byck Bros. ;
