PRIM YOUNG LADIES, WITH
their dainty aprons and sweet smiles,
will collect the dimes and nickels at
the Red Cross pharmacy at Fourth
avenue and Twentieth street tomor-

Broadway Presbyterian church is to
have charge of the soda fountain
Realizing that a pleasant smile will
often make a customer buy more than
he originally intended, the young
ladies, in meeting assembled, decided
to bestow their choicest upon their
patrons, and as this announcement
will doubtless bring throngs to the
fountain, all are requested to come
early and avoid the rush. Besides,
they argue their smiles won't be so
tagged early as they will later in the
day.

skill and experience Of an acrobat, es-
pecially in the case of foreigner, TO
keep the bedclothes evenly balanced

Many OF the German hotels use the
