A. will hold a Christmas sale, beginning next Monday and continuing through December twenty-fourth. This is a very worthy charity and deserves to be well patronized. But not only does the sale help numbers of self-supporting women; it is also a distinct benefit to the purchaser, for the articles are so varied and novel, and the prices so reasonable, that it will quite pay to do some of one's Christmas shopping there. Placed on sale will be desk furnishings, both in burnt and inlaid wood; collars and handkerchiefs of finest Mexican work; clever pen-and-ink copies of Gibson pictures, and all kinds of dolls.

The ladies on the committee, through whose efforts the Exchange has made such a success, are Mrs. Edward Adams, Mrs. George E. Hyatt, Mrs. W.

THE autumn festival for the benefit of the Brooklyn Nursery and Infants' Hospital is being held this week, Friday and Saturday, at the Pouch Gallery. There are a number of attractive booths, especially the art table, of which Mrs. E.

B. Whitaker is chairman. Dancing in the evening is always a feature of the fair, and for this the following men have been asked to serve as a floor committee: Mr. Walter S. Pate, chairman; Mr.

Robert Thack-ray, Mr. Edgar D. Pouch, Mr. Carlton O. Pate, Mr.

George Bidwell and Mr. John Lloyd Graham, of Manhattan. IN view of the worth and timeliness of the object, the progressive euchre at the Pouch Gallery next Tuesday evening, for the benefit of the Tompkins Park Library, should prove a most successful affair. During the past year, this needed adjunct to the library work of the borough has been entirely supported through the energetic efforts of the Brooklyn Public Library Association and its friends. As this continues to be the only source of income, a new series of entertainments, of which this is the first, has been planned to raise the necessary funds.

Tickets for the euchre may be obtained from any of the patronesses, who are: Mrs. George C. Adams, Mrs. Homer L. Bartlett, Mrs.
