Everyone seemed willing to buy the
flowers regardless Of where II was to
be placed. but when 1t was found that
the money was to take Christmas
cheer to the little folk across the sea
whose homes are sad from the wings
of death, the contributions grew and
where dime first appeared dollar
followed.
The girls themselves had the time
Of their lives and refused to be nat
tered by the eager buyers who did not
hesitate To praise the hearts that
prompted the work. The flowers went
so fast that the girls found fresh sup
plies needed time and again.
Owing to the chill winds that pre-
vailed Tuesday. and the fact that a
chorus girl must not take any chance
of catching cold and spelling her
voice, II was deemed wisest for the
young ladies not to stand on the street
corners as originally intended. Con-
