MONEY IN SOME POCKETS

An old clio dealer. one OF the gentle
voiced persons who walk through the
streets shouting something that nobody
can understand and meaning thereby
that they wiz give cash for clothes"
stood dlsconsolately IN front of 2l0 Firth
avenue yesterday afternoon. He watched
vans unloading hundreds OF bundles and
he saw the bundles being carried into
the headquarters of the Bundle Day
committee. He sighed and said
These have been good times for me.
but now know that ] am out of
business for another year"
Responses to the appeal OF the Bundle
Day committee came from hundreds OF
thousands OF homes and II anybody
says to-day that he Cor she) has no
old clothes to sell or give away 1t is
doubtless the truth. In fact New York
closets are cleaned out
Bundles came from everywhere; from
the East Side. the home of the poor
from The Bronx, from Fifth avenue,
from New Jersey. and from Connecticut.
Messengers, Boy Scouts, automobiles,
police patrol wagons. delivery vans and
trucks carted them 20 the headquarters.

But this is not all By nightfall
Joseph Mayper, the traffic manager, was
hoarse from answering telephone calls
which told him of police stations piled
high with bundles, OF schoolrooms filled
to the doors, OF the stables OF the Street
Cleaning Department damned with bum
dies, while express companies and de
partment stores which had gladly agreed
to collect bundles admitted they were
swamped.
Mayper threw up his hands and adj
mitted that II would be week before
all the bundles could be collected. De-
spite that fact, however, the request was
repeated to let the good work go on
and let others send In their old clothes,
As for counting the bundles, that was
impossible. Somebody guessed 100000.
Miss Frances h. kellor, executive man
ager for the Bundle Day COMMITTEES, adj
mltted the number might be that large.
Others thought II would be larger. But
everybody was happy. Mrs. James
Speyer, chairman of the committee
Mrs. Vincent Astor, Mrs. Peter Cooper
Hewitt, Mrs. Willard ID. Straight ana
Mrs. Cabot Ward, all OF whom were at
headquarters during the day, were busy
attending TO various duties associated
with receiving the bundles.
The committee members had devised
a splendid system for carrying on the
work of quick relief" as they termed II
relief for the man or woman who
through stress was on the verge OF the
breaking point and relief for the men
out of work and without clothing, for the
women who need warm clothing and for
the children kept away from school be-
cause they had no shoes or no warm
coats.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-02-05

There was an air OF rejoicing among
the members of the committee and the
many volunteer workers who thronged
the different floors, unpackng the
bundles and sorting the clothes and other
articles. In one corner there were shoes
by the carload-tennls shoes. women's
shoes, shoes for children. OF every kind
and make. Many OF these seemed
scarcely to have been worn. There
were hats by the boxful-silk hats, soft
hats, caps OF all sizes Out OF the first
1000 bundles opened came 400 over
coats, all in good condition.
The women especially were delighted
as they tackled each bundle. eager 30
