TAG DAY NETS s343.1o.
Rest Room Benefit A Success Despite
the Weather.

Despite the most unpropitious wealth
or that could be imagined the red Tag
solicitors sold nearly 1000 tags Satur,
dav and received $3i3.l0 against S3so
received n wear ago. The steady down
nour of rain which continued prac-
ticallv every hour of the working DAY
doubtless kept out.of.town Visitors
away and accordingly materially re-
duccd the grand total from what II
would have been had the sun shone'
The solicitors reported at the rest room
at s o'clock in the morning LOT duty
and the sale of tags was not ended un,
iii 1880. No large prices were PAID
for tags. The largest contribution was
S.. Over 400 pennies were received;
Many solicitors received supply "a
tags Friday night and were reaGy 20
meet any demands that might be maze
upon them at daylight Saturday morn,
ing. At clock the solicitors started
from the rest room and from that time
until the last solicitors turned IN their
reports at 1890 detail of women were
at the rest room to serve lunch and
coffee to the workers. Miss Mary Hen
sbaw Mrs. f, |. Swift, Mrs. Mont
gomery. Miss Addie FAY and Mrs. A.
T. Currier were at the rest room to re,
ceive the reports Of the solicitors ana
encourage those that were inclined to
be discouraged because of the extreme
" unfavorable weather conditions,
Miss Fay and Mrs. Currier remained
on duty from 730 a. m, until lV,3V
n. M. The management of the rest
room will be pleased to receive further
contributions and if the solicitors fail
ed to receive the contribution OF any
person such contribution may be hand
ed to any Of the solicitors The man
ayers of the tag sale worked hard to
equal the figures of last year but found
it impossible to do so. The solicitors
rCported practically no strangers on the
streets during the day. Many amusing
incidents were reported. One small
girl soliciting tag sales made it point
70 ask every housewife if they had a
dog or cat in the house. If there was
such an animal the young lady tried
to sell an extra tag for it. The follow
ing was the list of solicitors:
Miss Florence Pentland, Miss Frances
Putnam, Miss Florence Foster. Miss
Elizabeth Taylor, Miss Laura Harper,
Mrs. Griffin, Miss Elizabeth Hildreth,
Miss Elizabeth Brasor, Mrs. FRANK

 Comfort For the Weary Man.
 When the business man gets home at night after a hard days work the first thing he wants is a good dinner, the next good cigar. and probably the third move will be toward the couch for forty winks before he is wide awake enough to hear about the cook who. etc. and the children's s naughty ways. etc. So give him q cushion for his weary head to rest upon. Stenciled designs on tapestry. linen or leather are much admired. There should be no fussiness about l mans cushion. and dont make it at home. for the shops are full of attrac- tive cushions that are as cheap as any woman can make.
 For the Average Man.
 If the lawyer of the family needs a new brief case get him one for Christ mas. Shaving stands are fine pres ents for men who shave themselves. Handy bill folds may be bought from 50 cents up. Riding crops for the man who rides horseback. playing cards of some odd design or a cribbage board are all fine things to give the mascu- fine sex.
