Sncb post war work made an appeal, and letters of appreciation were a. great stimulus. For five or six years six layettes were sent to the relief every 'month. 0f late, the United Charities wardrobe rooms, settlements, and social centers have had Wilmette Babies' Frjendly lay- jettes, but always there is ini reserve one or two boxes for Wilmette, ready on a moment's notice to hand to a school nurse or social servicç worker.
