Guild of Catholic Women: For a
long time the need of some efficient
method of handling secondhand gar
ments has been felt by the Catholic
charitable societies of our city. This
problem was solved last week when
the st. Vincent de Paul Cooperative
Shop was opened at 80 West Third
street, Cedar 1888. Secondhand
| clothing received by the shop is sorted
over and either disposed of as it is or
made over into not only useful but
attractive garments. Make-over work
is done by the sewing department of
the Guild of Catholic Women which
is to have branch in each parish in
the city. The stock at the opening
of the shop was surprisingly large and
included everything from brand new
hats to neatly mended shoes, all at
tractively arranged and in charge of
Mrs NJ F. Lawless.
The sewing department of the Guild
| is justly proud of it's work and en-
thusiastic to keep the supply equal to
the demand, only asking of it's friends
a generous supply of secondhand
clothing. In order to extend the in
terest in the work two prizes have
| been offered of $500 each for the best
garment made from old material, the
only requirements being that every
thing in it's makeup must be second
hand and that all garments submitted
be turned over as models to be used
to instruct others in the art of max
ing over. The contest will be open to
parish branches as well as to indivi
duals, and the best garment submitted
in both classes will receive a prize
The articles must be in by April 1
and the prizes will be presented on
April 4, in the Wilder building. Any
parish that has not yet started sew
ing circle will be supplied with new
material in order to make start, the
completed articles to be placed on sale
at the shop. Requests for materia
may be made at the Office, 205 Wilder
building, or Mrs. D. H. Michaud, For
est 1913. AS an opening attraction
the shop is featuring a sale of hats a
