For tt was Baby Home day, and a email army of women and girls, representing the prettiest and the moot cultured in the city. hrong?d the streets and public buildings, where they presented their pleas for charity, and sold tags to"aid 4S homole!. helpless little ons who must depend on the general public for their living. And ho-v did the public respond? Just a the people of Portland have always done in the past when an appeal has een made to them for help for needy humanity, and they -not only bought large numbers of tags, but In a great many instances they bought them by wholesale and then gave them back to be sold a second time. If giving pro motes happiness, then there could have been but few people in Portland yester day who were not happler for its having been tag day. Iteeelpts "ot Known. It was not possible to determine, even t a late hour last night how much the total receipts for the day would be, as many of those selling tags did not re port. At noon yesterday it looked as though the receipts would be more than they were for tag day last year, but the rain that set in later in the day put a damper on the work, as people retired from , tna streets and could not be reached. While the larcr number of the peo ple were tagged by noon, the sale of tags kept up throughout the day, ior a ltfrge number of people made it a habit of buying tags at regular Intervals, or every time they went out on the street. Mrs. D. C. Burns, who had charge of the tag day work last year, managed it yesterday also, and last night she said: "I don't expect as much for tag day today as for last year, but I know this Is not due to a lack of interest in our work, but to the rain and to the novel ty of the tag having -worn off. I feel .sure we will get enough,- however, to meet our demands for the year." Many Contribute Generously. While it was possible last night to (get only a partial list of the most gen erous contributors. It was found that many people did not limit themselves to buying tags, but m,ade generous do nations to the Baby Home. Some of these were as follows: Alexander Kerr gave a check for $100. " Fleischner, Slayer & Co. gave a check for J30. Mrs. Gay Lombard contributed $20. Mrs. HannaSi Robertson gave $20. Mrs. E. Corbett contributed $10. A large number of people gave $5 each. Among these were I). C. Burns, Mrs. II. W. Corbett, B. O. Case, W. B. Mackay, Alfred L. Tetu. and a large number who objected to liaving their names made public. As near as could be learned last tiight, the largest single purchaser of tickets was Ben Selling, who purchased 150. At the Commercial Club building and the Chamber of Commerce, several . men paid $5, took a few tags, and re fused to accept change. The largest returns for the day were from the neighborhoods of Third and Morrison streets. Fifth and Morrison and from Third and "Washington to Fifth and Washington. The larger ho tels proved to be goo sources for tag sellers. ' On the East Side the locality which made the best showing was East Mor rison and Grand avenue. Chinese Good Patrons. Mrs. E. -C. Giltner, who directed the sale of tags at the Fourth-street en trance to the Chamber of Commerce, said . yesterday that among her best patrons were Chinese, who never failed to "buy, unless "they already were pro vided with tags. She related several amusing incidents of the day. An apparently well-to-do Chinese, who had been into a bank to deposit some money, was asked by Mrs. Giltner to buy a tag, but he shook his head and replied: "Let other people take care of their children as I do mine." Quite in contrast to him was another man of the same nationality, whose dress and that of the woman with him indicated small mjeans. In broken ac cents he explained, while he took out a lean purse, that he thought it was 1 wrong for anybody to refuse to aid helpless children. " Mrs. Elliot Habersham, who had charge of ' the taff-selling near the Sherlock building, found the poorly dressed people were most ready to pur chase tags. She and her assistants took in $200 by 3 o'clock. At the Portland and Oregon Hotels the tag-sellers were well patronized. At the Portland. Mrs. Harry Litt. who Jiad charge of the work there, had a total of $163 by 4 o'clock. Many Give $5 Kadi. Mrs. Walter Cook, who directed the sale of tags at tne Oregon Hotel, re ported that three different men had ' v s k. " 4 4' m lifeii i - - tarn I -m 1 given her $3 each for a few tags', and that two of these refused to give their names. Mrs. C. E. Koehler, who had charge of the work at Washington and Sev enth streets, took In $100 by noon yes terday. At the Commercial Club building Mrs. Tom Richardson and a number of young women did a thriving tag busi ness. Miss Clea Xlckerson and Miss Josephine Richardson,' two of her as sistants, found that the employes of the P. & S. Railroad Company were be ing paid off in the building, and ap pealed to them to buy tags, with grati fying success. Several small children aided in the sale of tags yesterday with surprising success.- One of these- wrs little Jack Rivenburge, of 464 Park street, who, al though he is but 4 years old, sold, un aided, $3.50 worth of ( tags - yesterday morning. -Three little children whose names were not obtained, the eldest be ing 6 years, sold $18 worth of tags. Little Mary Burns, 10 years old, sold tags for $3. Two liule girls, the daughters of W. . B. Steel, sold tags for $30. Among the women who took an active part in the Tag Day work yesterday, were the following: Prominent Women Active.v Mrs. W. W.
