 MANY ATTRACTIONS

A new enterprise will be launched in Phoenix tomorrow. The business IS unique in that it has the backing of every patriot in the city and will un- Questionably have the patronage of each and every one as well. The stock in the shop will be strictly American and the rsade-in- Phoenix trademark will predominate. For tomorrow marks the opening of the Red Cross shop in the War Work building. That the city is taking an interest In the gift shop is demonstrated by the fact that novelties Of every conceivable type have literally been pouring Tn 10 Mrs. F.. J. Bennitt who will be Tn charge of the dainty little offerings which will make wonderfully desirable Christmas gifts The stock will not consist solely of ''useless pretties' such as one usually secs at bazaars but really lovely and useful gifts and prac- teal too. In fact, one has to see to appreciate just what the Phoenix wo- men have gotten together for the Red Cross shop. There arc exquisite little frocks for small girls, embroidered linens and everything under the sun for the dressing table. In fact, there are so many articles that 1t is impos- sible 10 enumerate them all. The do- nations have been generous indeed; in many instances samples have been given Mrs. Bennitt, who has been ad- vised that the maker will take orders for the same, for the benefit, of course, of the Red Cross. Mrs. George H. Lut- serding is to have a little corner in the shop where she will have a booth Of flowers and delicious home made jellics and jams. This alone should derive neat income and unquestion ably will.
 Mrs. Edward Parker is to preside over the melting pot. Bits of gold and silver. no longer wanted trinkets, will be the contributions sought by Mrs. Parker.
 Salvage will be featured, particu. larly bric-a-brac and pictures. Any thing that comes under the name of art, in fact. will be most acceptable 10 Mrs S. D. Futile, who will be in charge of this department
 Most alluring will be the little cor ner devoted to millinery, with Mrs. J. W. Crenshaw as head milliner. New hats and old, made over models, with distinct style and charm, will appeal 10 the woman of discriminating taste. Volunteer workers may offer their ser vices in this department as well as in the shop proper, where they may pass an hour or two on dainty needlework any morning or afternoon of the week. The tea room has been arranged un- der the artistic direction of Miss May Noble. 1t is delightful in every detail, the color scheme, furnishings and ar rangement being especially attractive.
