FLOWER SHOW
UNIQUE CHARITY

PETERSBURG, VA. Oct. 3.-One
OF the most unique methods ever
adopted to raise money for a lauda-
Bile charity Is the one adopted by the
Child's Cot association. of this city,
In flower show which is now going
on in the large stores of John O'Con-
nor at the corner of Sycamore and
Franklin streets. All of the local
florists and many families, who take
great deal of pride in raising flow
ers have contributed large quaint
ties of the various varieties which
they grow. The building is a YER
liable flower garden. arranged in the
most artistic manner. Besides an ad-
mission fee of ten cents charged to
see the display. the flowers are sold
to any who desire to buy them. Lit
tie tots dressed as trained nurses act
at mattresses at the refreshment
stand, which adds greatly to the
pleasure Of the show. The object OF
the association Is caring for sick
children, whose parents are unable to
provide for them, which is surely de-
serving the liberal patronage and the
unstinted praise of which they are
the recipients.
