TO HELP AMBULANCE
GIFT OF DOLL'S HOUSE
In the course of its work the City Ambulance earns the gratitude of many people who show their appreciation in many ways. An unemployed man, Mr. William Kankin, of Eastbourne, has, however, chosen an unusual and remarkable method of expressing his appreciation of the services of the ambulance, foe he has built a large doll's house to be raffled in aid of the funds of the ambulance. Workmanship of a very high standard has been shown in the making of the house, which has eight rooms on two floors connected by a staircase. Every room is artistically furnished and decorated, and the furniture includes a piano, a sewing machine, tables, chairs, and a sideboard. The tiny windows are curtained, and even the wallpapers and linoloums are different in the various rooms. As the house is a work of art it is intended to make it the prize in an art union, the proceeds of which will go to the ambulance, and the house will shortly be put on view in the city.
