nounced November is and 16 as the dates
for the collection and distribution of gar
ments by the guild, and asks all members
and all who wish to become members to
have their garments ready by that time.

| the garments will be received at the First

Last year the guild aspired to collect 5000
garments. but the number fell somewhat
short and this year they hope to reach
that number. The garments are distrib-
uted entirely among the charitable organ-
izations of Omaha, and being all new, can
be used to much better advantage than
secondhand garments. The guild is one OF
the most practical and worthy charities of
the city and has done much toward re-
Ieving the demand for clothing. that is one
of the heaviest of the local charitable in
situations.
