vASHoN ISLAND APRON BOOTH
A FEATURE OF ORTHOPEDIC
BAZAAR

One of the most charming booths
of the Orthopedic Bazaar held in the
Spanish Ballroom of the Olympic
hotel last Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day was the Apron Cottage, presided
over by members OF the Vashon
orthopedic Auxiliary, and the Renton
Hill organization. Each society sold
the aprons that had been contributed
by their society.
The booth was built to resemble a
cottage, with fireplace, mantle, paper
ed walls, complete even to the roof,
covered with real shingles.
Mrs. George Shields, ST., and Mrs.
E. H. Miller had charge of the selling
Thursday afternoon and evening, and
on Saturday, while Mrs. F. A. Weiss
and Mrs. Cephas Ramquist did the
honors on Friday. AS the Bazaar was
open during the evening the hours Of
serving in this capacity were rather
strenuous. However, the scenes which
such huge affair presented offered
plenty of diversion. On Friday there
were $50 tables of bridge occupied at
ore time. Six hundred players to-
gether with the attendant stir going
on around them at the various booths
provided much conversational energy.
During the three days the apron
booth disposed, at good prices, of two
hundred and thirty one aprons, 81
donated by the ladies of Renton Hill
and $50 by the Island Auxiliary. This
is characteristic of the manner in
which this group Of busy workers re-
spond to the need IF the Orthopedic.
OF the $50 aprons sent to the bazaar
from the Island, materials for rs
aprons were purchased by the Vashon
Auxiliary and the aprons made by
members while rs were donated. or
this number the Portage Auxiliary
donated seventeen, and the vashon
Island Woman's Club gave seventeen,
also. Mrs. w. D. Covington made the
largest individual donation of 10
aprons.
The amount realized from the apron
booth was $4,000, of this amount the
aprons donated by the Island netted
$4,000.
The committee wish to express their
gratitude for the manner in which
members and friends assisted them in
putting over their part of this work
in such fine manner. Again they
have been able to uphold the reputa-
ton our Island has for being one of
the most generous hearted COM
munities helping in carrying on this
work of salvation of crippled little
bodies.
