said little Mrs. F. S. Collar, who set
two tires on her husbands automobile
in the record breaking time of 13
minutes each and charged him not one
cent more than he would have had to
pay to the most everyday chauffeur.
Mrs. Herman Krusi's contribution
comes near to the IS mark already.
When her friends want to attend a
reception or an afternoon tea they
just ring her up and she calls and
takes them in her Limousine for 25
cents drive.
'I had to take them, anyway, so /
might just as well make every cent
can for the club" was her way of ex-
cusing her running an auto service
without a taxi drivers card to the
union.
HAS TO CLIMB TREES
81 never knew that people could be
so unreasonable" said Miss Grace Cia-
witer. why. since 1 went into the
business of sailing almonds and sell
ing them to my friends whenever they
were going to give little affair ii is
a common occurrence for them to ring
me up and order a pound of the nuts

want to have a big account to offer
the club. But they never consider I
have to pick all those nuts myself and
that we only have three almond trees,
and I even have TO climb up some
times to the top OF the tree to get
enough"
DARNs SONS SOCKS
Mrs. H. NJ. Kearney didn't know
what darning cotton looked like until
week ago. when she darned eight
pairs of sadly perforated socks for
her son. "Of course, earned my dol
lar, and earned it not by the proven
bal sweat of my brow, but by the
pricks of my fingers" she said.
Out of door work, which is really
pleasure. and IS day to boot-why.
/ don't have to worry bit, no matter
what might happen. / could live in
nice estate" was the conclusion of
Mrs. III. G. Bennett as she rubbed the
dirt off the smooth hands which had
Just finished pruning her peach trees.
GOES ON HUNGER STRIKE
Even a hunger strike is included
in the list of feats to raise club funds.
Mrs. Fuller Latin declares that she
could have had the finest luncheon
which San Francisco had to serve on
the day of the great Portola parade
IL only she could have forced an
enrance to any of the cafes or grills.
But she couldn't, and she had to go
without bite to eat from morning
until night on the day when every
one else was celebrating. That was
worth every cent of the 81 she saved
on her empty stomach. and the club
ought to appreciate it, she says.
Mrs James Higgins could have
made the price of her new vacuum
cleaner if she desired Instead she
is saving it up for the club. Her
neighbors had little difficulty at
first arranging their house cleaning
days so that there would be no con-
fiict, and now each one calls for the
cleaner at her appointed time. pays
her 25 cents an hour. and has a clean
house and, incidentally, helps to put
a stone in the new building for the
Adelphian club.
Mrs N Rogers and Mrs. c. w. Jack
son not only gave their friends a fine
time at a card party, but made be-
tween them SIS as their club contri-
button.
OTHER SCHEMES
But these are by no means all
There is the lady who sells her hus-
band a collar button whenever he
drops his under the bureau and hasn't
time to scramble under after it. and
one who is wearing out shoe leather
but saving carfare for the fun. A
third does her sons manicuring and
another washes all the heads in the
house at a quarter a scalp.
One woman is making little Christ
mas gifts and friend is putting up
delicious jams and jellies and still an
other is making squash pies. So
among them all the Adelphian club
will have a new home and some ex-
ira furnishing besides.
