Contemporary Society RUTH Editor G. DAVIS Comment Humpty dumpty, 1 nice and plump, with a gay round face and red calico print is right on his shelf at the Woman's Exchange of Brooklyn, all ready to please a playful youngster. The exchange, which observes its 95th anniversary this year, will open for the season tomorrow at its same address, 151 Pierrepont St. There are many new things to look for at the shop. The new hurdy-gurdy toy for children will fascinate the fathers and you know how the men are about toys.

Other new toys, such as play school puzzles, will be on the shelves and you can look for them in the display window, for the children's items are always exhibited on the left-hand window as one enters the shop. Gifts are shown in the larger window at the right. And there is a load of suggestions for presents for a birthday, for the hostess, the traveler, the engaged girl, the bride, the mother-1 to-be, the hospitalized and the children and the babies. And just to give you a few ideas of how inclusive the Woman's Exchange is the suggestions include knitting bags with monograms, coaster sets, velvet traveling jewelry cases, floral decorated dictionaries, lamps, bed trays, bed jackets, petite frocks and numerous cuddly toys. There also is a 25-cent-to-dollar corner, where the young fry may buy gifts for their parents or one may pick up numerous little things that can be used as bridge prizes.

The home-baked goods are well known throughout the borough. The Woman's Exchange, as its age indicates, is one of the oldest charitable organizations of the community, It started in the days when the feminine sex wore hoopskirts and, in order to earn a living, their work had to be done quietly at home by fine sewing, knitting, crocheting or some such ladylike occupation. The exchange is composed of two old philanthropic organizations, the Brooklyn Female Employment Society and the Women's Work Exchange and Decorative Art Society. Mrs. William F.

Kerby is president. Mrs. Rolland B. Peacock, the manager of the exchange. welcomes consignors.

No initial fee is charged. The 20 percent which the exchange realizes on each sale is used to operate the shop. Ofttimes it is necessary for the board of managers to make an appeal in order to carry on. La Moitte-Teunissen Elizabeth A. Cronk Autumn Benefits Listed; Anthonian Bridge Nov.
