VIOLET DAY

APPEAL FOR SICK AND WOUNDED. I'm- appeal tor the Red Cross, winca i= being ii.miu m tin) streets 01 Wellington ■tu-uay turougn cue nieuiiini oi woiti i-iny.. is one ivnicli cannot tail to commend itsea to passei's-ny, lor the suupie rcusuu tnat the money collected wili go to provide such tilings us will do so iniicii to alleviate the sunerings oi our bravo soldiers and sailors. From tne diiicrent stalls, winch will bo placed at various points in the street, llowers, produce (including eggs, butter, cakes, sweets, jams, pickles), badges, etc., can be bought, while coi..jtors with their boxes will afford those who do not wish to buy a straight-out way of assisting the cause. Tile stall at the Copper Trail Depot, of whicli Mrs. A. Pearce and Air* Willord will be in charge, will offnr many attractions in the way of rafiia work, satin roses, scented sachets, quaint hat-pins, etc., and the Women's National Reserve stall will make a feature of plum cake. Not less attractive and useful wil' be tho supplies at the others. The fact that Miss Minnie Love and Mr. Jack Cannot, assisted by other members of the Bing Boys' Company, are going to auction blouses and hats at the Bank of New Zealand comer at the luncheon hour should prove a great attraction. Mrs. Myers will be in charge of the depot in Messrs. Harcourt's Build ings (flowers, produce, etc.). and Jl*' Munt at Messrs. Bethune's auction mart, where everything connected with tho boxes and money will bo dealt with. It is for the people of Wellington to-day to show their sympathy with a great ransi as that of tho Red Cross in n generous and practical manner, and at-the (?nmc time advance the Copper Trail.
