WISE DECISION.

A Chicago lodge Of a fraternal So
ciety was interested in the raising OF
funds for a home for disabled mem
bers, certainly a worthy object. AS
one method Of raising money 1t was
arranged that the wives and daughters
Of male members. and women who
themselves were members. should on
a certain date begin soliciting sub
scriptions on the streets Of Chicago.
This did not look good to some Of the
members, and, after some discussion,
the plan was dropped, and other means
Of raising the funds will be found.
The people who r interested in this
movement are to be commended for
their good Judgment in abandoning
this plan when once its full import
was understood.
A good many cities have had eXper-
fence with tag days which have caused
them to resolve that there shall be
no more tag days in those particular
places. The plan proposed for the
Chicago campaign was a form Of tag
Ody PROCEDURE dA1u IL has AIIoHy
lions. Be it said thai funds for prop
er purposes may be and have been
solicited by means of the tag day plan
and others of similar character with
entirely satisfactory results. But the
scheme is so frequently twisted. and
tortured and abused that many people
believe that it is better to err, If at all.
on the safe side. and abolish the whole
business.
It is pretty safe to lay down the rule
that it is not good for the community
to have its girls sem out to solicit
money for even the best possible
cause If the c~anvassing is to be in pub
lie places. with everyone invited to
contribute. The practice is not par
ticularly god for those who are solicit
cd. and it is anything but good for
the solicitors. Young women who act
as canvassers in such cases place
themselves in a position Of which adj
vantage is certain to be taken by some,
and the opportunity for evil is so great,
80 u~ndeniable, and SO we'll recognized
that there are few cases now in which
tag days and other collection schemes
Of that sort are not specially guarded
80 as to keep the girls out Of it.

your new foulard. think I'll see If
your Nancy Ferry won't make a dress
for me-"
So she rode down all the a from
her big summer house on the hill,
which she had come so early that
summer. and asked Nancy to make a
dress Tor her.
"a simple little silk frock rather
like Mrs G~ransbury's. I don't as a
rule copy other peoples clothes. but
that dress pleased me nightly"
Nancy had no sewing to do and this
order was a ood-send. When the silk
came she learned that there were
varying qualities Of foulard. Just as
there were varying types Of women.
Nancy was happy working upon the
lovely fabric. She added to the de-
sign a touch OF two of her own, a
fold Of lace. a CLEAN Of color. And
a consequence she was busy all
summer making things for her new
patron. So It was no wonder that
