THE NEEDLE GUILD OF AMERICA
The Needlework Guild of America,
founded in 1885, and with branches
established throughout the states, has
recently started branch in Honolulu.
The founder of the guild, Mrs. John
w. Stewart of New Jersey, while visit
ing the islands this last spring, inter
ested a number of the women of Ho-
nolulu in the work. The object of the
g lid is to collect, new garments and
distribute them to institutions, homes
and other charities. Each branch
holds its annual meeting preferably
in October or November. Our local
branch is about to enter for the first
time upon its activities, and as the
work is entirely for our own home
charities it is hoped that there will be
q liberal response to the call for men,
bers. Any one contributing two or
more new articles of wearing apparel,
or household linen, or donating money,
may be member .-
Emphasis is laid on the fact that all
the clothing must be new. These ar.
ticles will be collected on given
date, sorted and distributed to the
various charities and institutions. The
Honolulu branch plans to call in all
of its donations by Wednesday, Octo-
Der 8. .......
In these days of unusual activities
when all are so busy in Red Cross and
war relief work the Needlework Guild
affords us a fitting medium through
I'hich we can express our interest and
cooperation in the demands of local
needs. With ready-made clothing so
easily obtainable and with so many
really useful articles to be purchased
for small sum, even the busiest and
the poorest can, with very little effort,
contribute to the work Of the guild.
Do not wait to be asked, but signify
your interest and willingness to help
by notifying either the president of
the Honolulu branch, MRS. A. Lewis
Jr, telephone 1897. or the secretary.
Mrs. w. A. Love. telephone 1915.
