In last [week's Chronicle we sta ted that Mrs. Ann Watts had made a donation of flO to the hospital fund ? 5 per cent of her sales. Mrs. Watts is too .honest to take credit for this. ?She says it is the -California Perfume Co., and not herself, who made the donation. But Mrs. Waftts made the sales, and if the donation did not come directly from her, it was through her efforts. However, we" yield to her modesty in tbe matter and make the correction.
