CITY MISSION APPEALS
 FOR NORWICH FAMILIES

Miss selden of the committee writes The Bulletin:
 A short time ago the City Mission branch of the United Workers asked through The Bulletin for a baby carriage. and almost immediately received a very nice one. It has already done a great deal of good.
 This is the time of ye;S when almost every good housekeper is going over closets and bureau drawers, trunks and boxes, examining all sorts of clothing with a careful eye. Now the City Mission wants some of those articles very much indeed. They are in resi- need of chil- drens clothing of all kinds. and for all ages, and for both girls and boys up to ] S. particularly dresses for the big girls. Also ther is always need of things for the babies. Then there is a little boy who could be his mothers right-hand man if only he had a small express wagon in which to deliver the laundry for her.
 Of course, there are very frequently rummage sales in these days-and they are good things, but we must not overlook those who from necessity are depending on the City Mission and their gifts,
