Mrs. Yates, whose husband Tr Yates, has made such valuable contri butions to chest surgery in a certain French hospital, where he is working witn nis bxother-ln-law, Dr. Finney, read, by request, a few most inter esting letters from friends in France. The personal experiences related, the little touches of humor and pathos brought the scenes described very vividly before us, and the ladies lis tened with intense interest and gave Mrs. Yates a round of applause when sne naa finished. The War lecture. Miss Wood spoke about the war situation. The large wall map of the Western front was used to show the relation o Messlnes Ridge to Ypres and this naturally raised the question why the fall of one position makes it impooible to hold another place apparently quite a dutm-ma TJxe jplaaaUoa is quite simple. No the money will be reported in total at that time, so it is not included in the week's collection. Greenfield is represented In the room by Mrs. Whitted, who Is always most active, but the unit has not been taking any garments to make lately. Mrs. Noe's Unit is making baby hoods. Mrs. Camerons Unit is knitting and making baby clothes. They will do some carding later when we resume our ordinary work. They have sent in a quantity of hemmed Slings and a number of pairs of socks in the last week. Mrs. Barber's Unit at Greenfield brought in the first of 20 baby shirts and carried off three dozen pillow cases to make. The East Wilmington Unit of which Mrs. J. O Brown is chairman got a quantity of cut-out baby clothes to make and will soon be heard from along that line. They have carded cotton until now and will resume that when we get back to our old work the first of May, .The Soldiers Comfort Club coragi very acceptable The Allies Card Club, makes the following-report: The Allies' Card Club met at the home of Mrs. N.

Please Do This Way. Human nature being as it is, and people getting tired as they do, it is very easy to make mistakes and we make our share. This happened in the workroom and we quote it to show how. we appreciate frank deal ing. A block had vheea. given by mistake to a, new messenger and the old messenger reported it to her dis trict leader and the district leader,-instead of getting provoked, said: "I'll go right down and see about this, be cause I know a mistake was made." She came and put the matter up to the chairman, all was straightened out in five minutes and the affair dis missed. Ladies, there is a multiplic ity of work connected with the run ning of a big organizatipn like the Special Aid which is perfectly- stag gering.
