Since. the sale is to be held in the fall of the year, winter clothes will be more in demand than other kinds, and the guild has a committee which will call for your things now as you are discarding them or perhaps going through the places where you have some old ones stored away and save you all thé trouble and worry about moths through the sum- mer. Mrs. William J. Eldridge, whose telephone number is Winnetka 1784, is chairman of the committee which is providing moth proof storage room at the Parish House for all things collected now and if you will call her she will be glad to have your things called for and see that they are safely kept until the time of the sale in October.
