BUY A DAY AT SI32
AND AID VACATION
ASSOCIATION FUND
Many Persons Purchase Their
Birthdays, While Others
Take Weeks

Every person should have his day.
Having thus revised the ancient saying,
the Vacation Association is now busy
selling the days Of the week and the
weeks of the year, at the uniform price
of S132.12 a day. For just a bit more
than nine cents minute any one may
glory in day all his own and at the
same time know that he-or she, as II
generally turns outs supporting the
Vacation Association.
The association is determined to
raise its entire annual budget of S41,S25
and so cents-by bartering day after
day, and the people of the city are
rallying nobly to the cause.
Into the headquarters of the associa-
ton, at So West Thirty-ninth Street,
are coming subscriptions, not only for
single days, but for groups of days.
Mrs. Daniel Guggenheim, for instance,
has set aside a week for herself. Many
others have turned in to Miss Robinson
Smith, president of the association,
reservations for their birthdays. Birth
days are becoming so popular that soon.
il is asserted, the S. r. O. sign VIII
have to be hung up. Miss Smiths plan
of campaign is 70 be carried through
until the last cent of that budget IS
wiped out, however.
The Vacation Association had its real
start back in 1911. The plan was first
limited to a savings fund, in which
self-supporting girls and women depos-
tied such sums of money as they could
afford. with the idea of drawing the
money at vacation time. The saving
fund was started by forty-three girls
on December IL, 1911, with total de
posts of S26.07. Since that time some
$4,000 young women have deposited
during five years a sum approximatng
5000
The Vacation Association headquar-
tiers conducts all sorts of social and
educational activities; and also com
prises a clubhouse and social centre for
