 IL is for the children that the sun shine society asks aid The kiddies lack warm and comfortable clothing. They lack many other of the pleasant things Of life, but il is getting to bc a question of keeping from freezing this winter.
 And so the Sunshincrs ask for clothing, cast off clothing. stockings. shoes, underwear, ovcrroats, baby blankets, shirts, dresses, anything for anyone Of any size. Thcy'll all fit. and Anyhow when if becomes so bad that burlap or flour bag, must be con. pcrtcd into wearing apparel, who cares for size, 2" ask the Sunshincrs.
