Perhaps no work taken up by women
for the relief of the poor has met with
such splendid success for the energy
expended as has that of the Needle
work guild, which displayed its results
for the past few DAYS in the Y. W.
G. A. rooms of the Brooks arcade. The
local work is revival of q guild es-
tablisbed years ago. which in days past
did excellent service in the aid OF all
other charitable organizations and in
individual relief of the poor.
The work was begun in England un-
der Lady Wolverton and rapidly
begun with the idea of giving TO indi-
gent people good. clean, fresh clothing
instead of cast-oT garments, TO help
encourage them in the care OF their own
clothing. For this purpose it was de.
cided TO make two new garments each
year for the guild. and for a long time
the guild. was in reality a needlework
organization, as every article was made
by the members,
n timn this IN he hlI
10 the busy women OF whom the guild
was composed, and now the articles are
either bought or made, and are dis.
tributed mainly through charitable or.
ganizstions who keep in touch with the
poor.
The work here was started shortly
after the world s fair OF 1893, when
Mrs. O. j. Salisbury, one Of the lady
directors of the fair. returned and told
of the splendid showing made by the
eastern women in this line OF work. \
local branch was organized with Mrs.
Salisbury as honorary president and
Mrs. Walden as president. This is the
branch which has recently been revived
and which has shown such good results
for the work of the past month or so.
The articles displayed which were con-
tributed for this season Included every
thing from good comfortable bedding
down to hose, the merchants of the
city having been especially generous in
donating toward a special chapt called
the merchants chapter. Membership
in the guild entails nothing except the
donating of two new articles of cloth
ing a year, and its members may be
men, women or children.
Word comes from the Idaho State
Federation. which was attended by Mrs.
c. II. Mcmahon, Utah state president,
that the meeting in Pocatello Thurs
day, Friday aud Saturday was the most
successful ever held in the four years
since their organization. Idaho puts
moro stress on district federation, the
state is so divided into sections by the
railroad facilities, and she has three dis
trict federations besides all her clubs
united into the state federation. Sixty
delegates were in attendance, which,
considering the railroad question, was
a very large percentage OF the club
