There is none of a spark of intelligence who can claim ignorance of the meaning of the Red Cross to the men who are fighting the war. It is only those who will not see who do not realize the supreme importance of this organiza- | tion which brings a little order out of the chaos that is Europe today You know, everybody knows, that it is the duty of every person to give 1 to the fund which is to stand between { needless suffering, per- | haps death. | How much you are to give you individual work with suffrage groups | ust decide, not how much you can but now, when the very best e forts | give without feeling it, but h To much of all who stand for the enfranchise- | you can contribute without imperil ment of women, is essential to turn jg those dependent upon you or . work that has been done into ¥ all the work the ?

Woman's day is about to dawn and the women who have seen the promise through all the years of the past when the great majority of women seemed to be entirely content with a secondary place in the social order should now exert every effort to bring that dawn gloriously, in- dustrially, econnomically, socially and politically. The women's cause in every way is bound up in the suffrage cause and all women who are working for the advancement of their sex should be working to- gether. in the North Shore towns have a certain quality which The groups they can give to the Evanston group and the women who have worked under the Evanston banner have a history for achievement and an in- spiration for work which will be of immense advantage for our own women. It is high time that the two sets of earnest women, seeking the same thing, should begin to werk with a common method, as they now work. with a common purpose. ale. -+ How Much For The Red Cross? The Red Cross campaign is in full swing in Wilmette as elsewhere in the United States. The Red that common meeting ground of all Cross, nations, all sects and races, must have money to carry forward the great work of healing the wounds that this bitter war infiicts. The American people, every na- tion that is in this war, have heard repeated calls for money. There is the war tax that greets us in almost every operation of our daily lives. There is the income tax and the ex- cess profit tax, the demand upon the unfortunate to contribute to the safety of the institutions which have made their fortune possible. There are the many requests for aid to this. and that relief work, but there is none to be compared with en- | |ial obligation. The utmost that you can spare is none too much to give |to the Red Cross.

Cheney, in charming garden frocks, sold -geraniums, tulips and other growing plants. Mrs. Douglas Smith, Mrs. Robert H. Ripley, Miss Mar- cella Mettler and Mrs. Herbert N. Anning, sold vegetables. Gardners from some of the most beautiful es- tates along the north shore were present to instruct ambitious war gardeners in the mysteries of rais- ing potatoes, corn, beans and other garden products. The New Trier table, in charge of Miss Olive Grove and Miss Katherine Murphy, contained many fancy hand- painted garden hats, hand painted garden sticks, and other fascinating ornaments. To the jingly tunes of a hurdy gurdy couples danced in the street, and every one entered into the holi- day atmosphere and helped swell the Dr. Alice Barlow-Brown fund for Belgian and French refugees and wounded. Mrs. Charles W. Hub- bard's little twin son, dressed as a little French refugee in ragged black smock and torn stockings, presented a pitiful and bedraggler appearance that urged many a person to dig deeper into his pocket for the benefit of the children of Belgium and France. mn ho .
