WILL YOU HELP TO
BUILD THE FENCE?

will you help build the fence %
is the slogan which has drawn thou
sands of eyes to billboards and
street car displays-and which will
be spoken over thousands of tele-
phone wires and read in thousands
of letters this week in the leading
cities of the state of Washington
Seattle, Spokane. Tacoma, Belling-
ham, Aberdeen and Hoquiam 1t is
the catch word of the campaign of
the Washington Childrens Home
society to raise an endowment fund,
which will make the society that
cares for our homeless children in
dependent of constant appeals for
aid from charitable persons. The
campaign has been quietly under
way for two weeks, but the real
active work will begin this week,
when the business men and many
homes will be reached by telephone,
and the question asked, Have you
received your letter.
The answer will probably be
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-05-09

What letter." and then comes the
explanation about building the
fence. and what the great need of
the children's society is. The plan
for publicity campaign has been
an elaborate one, and it is nov
city in the northwest, where no
such large campaign has ever been
conducted by a charitable organiza-
ton. The work of the Children S
Home organization extends all over
the state, with receiving homes To-
Gated in this city and Seattle. The
mail and phone crusade will be
carried on in six cities at once.
The Sunset Telephone Co. has
given the use of it's wires and spe-
cial operators to help the work
along, and it promises to be a sue
cessful campaign. The catch words
about the fence are based on little
allegory about some children who
were falling over a cliff until a
fence was built to save them. or
course the Children's Home society
typifieS the fence.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING
And Bargains for Presents Are
Now in the Shops.

If Christmas is not to be an era of con-
fusion and despair. now is the time to take
action. A little energy in making the most
of this seasons bargains. a little browsing
about in the shops, and that breathless
hurry which comes near spelling the
blessed period Of giving for most women
can be avoided. Even the most busy women
will have odds and ends of leisure during
the long days Of summer and early fall.
and If materials are purchased and the
work planned now, wonders can be accom-
pIished in the way of fashioning holiday
gifts.
The shop counters are loaded with charm
ing Powered organdies sheer lawns and
rnusIins. selling at marvellously low prices.
They are not soiled remnants, but fresh,
new goods. These Powered stuffs make
lovely bureau drawer sachets, bound with
inch-wide ribbons Some housekeepers, too,
like these sachets hung up against their
closet walls. In fact. as gifts they never
come aniss. Other safe gifts are pads for
trunk trays. and bags in which to pack
gloves handkerchief, shirtwaists and
gowns to keep the wrinkles out of them in
travelling.
Attractive negligees. breakfast jackets
and fancy little sewing aprons can be
made for almost nothing" by picking up
the bargains in figured materials offered
now on every hand. There are wonderful
bargains TOO. at the lace and ribbon coun-
tiers, so it doesn't cost much to evolve
really elaborate creations. And what a
peaceful, virtuoUs feeling it does give TO
have few of these fluffy triffes laid away,
tied in pretty boxes. ready 10 bring out at
Christmas time.
Checked ginghans in soft blues. plnks
and yellows. are selling very cheapiy now,
and make artistic laundry bags. They are
made with shocked tops, doing away with
the drawing string For shoe cases. port
folios, work bags and travelling bags the
remnants OF colored linen marked down
now are admirable
Reductions in Irish crochet lace. medal
lions and buttons should not be passed by.
for with little sheer batiste they can be
fashioned into d smart blouse for Christ
mas gift.
Other bargains are those in stuffs for
inflow covers and table spreads, which can
he made without much trouble, and in now
cred silks. suitable for fancy bags and PIN
cushion covers. Ribbon sales should not De
neglected. for a bolt of lingerie ribbon with
q silver bodkin attached is a welcome gift
Roth narrow and wide ribbon will be
needed. moreover, to tic up gifts, and II Is
dreadful TO have TO rush out at the last
r,or,ent for these accessories, which are
quite as important as the gifts them
selves
