tn raise funds for the social service bu
reaus of Bellevuo and Allied Hospitals,
find they wcro apt and competent sales
women In one of the great emporiums
of the city. There will be given to the
fund 10 per cent, of their sales.
Wearing simple black frocks, with only
red badges on tho sleeves to distinguish
them from the regular employees, these
women of society became salesladies and
sold hats nnd gowns and other apparel
at :imbeU last week. Their Invasion
of the shopping district took many vis
itors to tho store, and twmo of those
vlio went from curiosity only were so
charmed by tho gracious young "sales
women" that In many Instances mere
looking over things led to Inquiries, then
try-ons and finally to purchase.
Mrs. Joseph B. Trucsdale. head of the
rales committee, and her assistants un
riarstood all the curves and angles of
hats so well that a mere glance at a
would-be purchaser enaoled them to
know at just what tilt the chateau
would bs becoming to madame. They
would slip on wraps and coats and show
these off with the grace of professional
raannlklns, to It was not to b wondered
at that their pencils and pads were In
constant use and that thn 10 per cent
wblh their charitable efforts will add
to the treasuries of the hospitals took
quite a bit of figuring up each night.
