BOOK STALL A SUCCESS.
One of the Revenue Producing Features
of the +. & S. Bazaar.

The book-stall at the +. and ). Hospital
bazaar is proving one of the surprises Of
the fete in that it is drawing quite as
much patronage from the younger element
as from older readers.
Evidently, the Kewpie dolls and other
novelty sales are not holding all of the
stage for buyers.
Miss Mary de Van who is in charge of
the book committees work, states that
so far S84. AZ has been realized at the sale
of the books, all of which were donated.
One lucky buyer found she had pur-
chased a rare old edition of Pilgrim 5
Progress, and the purchaser of1an eigh-
teen volume Encyclopedia realized his
good fortune when he compared the price
paid with that of new set.
Miss deVan thinks it is of especial inter
est just now that the boys and girls of
Wilmington are showing such interest in
books. 1t portends an increase of general
desire for knowledge, Miss de Van thinks,
and is encouraging to those holding the
welfare of the youth Of the city at heart
