Ono feature of tho big appeal thatj is to be mado to-day for llod Cross funds is the- shop which has been established in Lower Cuba Street—look for tho big Rod Cross flags I This shop is -well stocked with goods that overybody needs —cakes, home-made sweets, elaborate lined toilet-boxes for ladies, slippers for men, dolls' and: children's clothing—all at bargain prices. The gross proceeds go to the fund, everything being _ contributed free. A feature of tho big Red Cross Store is tho variety of parcels, ready stitched up in calico for the post, and containing a capital variety of things needful for mon in the trenches. These are being disposed of at 2s. 6d., Bs., and ss. oach, and are capital value for; the money.
