the most attractive features of the day was
the women members of the club who col.
lected the money for the smoke fund. They
were Mrs +. B. Dewhurst, Mrs H. NJ,
Watts, Mrs Corbit lowering, Mrs. James E.
Mcfarland, Jr., Mrs Stanley Reeves and
Miss Madeline Asbury. They were dressed
in the familiar garb Of the Red Cross and
carried huge pipes, in the bowls OF which
nestled the dollar bills the gallery gave
to the fund. More than $500 was collected
Some Of the pipes were auctioned off after
the match and they brought $29.
