MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
FAIR NETS $1,000
Young WOmen's Guild LabOrs
Hard to Aid Institution.

The fair given by the YoungWomen's
guild for Memorial hospital last Fri
day netted that institution $2,500. It
was thought that a part of the pro-
ceeds could be used towards the
erection of a much needed addition
to the hospital but the hospital at
present is full of patients and in con-
sequence the running expenses are
very heavy so that part and perhaps
all of the proceeds may go towards
paying the cost of operation of the
hospital plant.
Under the guidance of Mrs. Freder-
lex w. Merrell, the president, the
members of the guild and friends
of the hospital worked hard for the
success of the fair and it was a
great disappointment that the weather

nice assortment of goods on hand,
flowers were for sale and the lun-
cheon and supper departments proved
as popular as ever.
