Though the shop has been open only two hours a day the phenomenal sum of four thousand dollars has been raised. The large number of visitors who thronged the Shop on its opening day, last Saturday, following the influenza epidemic, testi- fies to the pace which the Gift Shop and its interest in Dr. Brown's work overseas, has set for itself, for $1,000 is to be sent this week to Dr. Brown for rehabilitation work. A number of women have volunteered their services up to Christmas and many new and beautiful things have been brought to the shop, for sale. The government has asked that all Christmas shopping be done early. It is possible to find many attractive gifts at the Gift Shop which is open now daily from 2 to 5 o'clock, and will save much fatigue and worry of shopping. Choice bric-a-brac, jewelry, well-chosen books and pictures, charming frocks, blouses and hats for little people, as well as loads of practical things such ws a gas stove, a bread mixer, and even furniture can be purchased at very reasonable prices. Those volunteering service for certain days in the week are: Mrs. William A. Otis and Mrs. H. A. de Windt, who will be in attendance on Mondays; Mrs. Landon Hoyt, Tues- days Mrs. H. H. Brigham, and Mrs. Lawrence Stein, Wednesdays ; Mrs. Hallet Greely, Thursdays; Mrs. Frank Cace, and Mrs. Harrison Mettler, Fridays; and Mrs. Douglas Smith and Mrs. Florence Cap- ron on Saturdays.
