"Aunt Kate tells us that the people of Cliffview are going to hold a sale to earn money for materials for Red Cross work and we are all making something to help. I am em- broidering a centrepiece, Dorrie is cross-stitching towels, Kathleen -is crocheting fancy yokes, and Marion is knitting a scarf, The Lewis girls are all making something too. Aunt Kate says it is high time the young people did their share, and not leave it all to the older people. But my work is nothing to yours," continued Celia; "and I did think I could embroider a little bit, too." Jessie turned to her mother. "I might finish my trayeloth for the sale, mother; it will not take me long to finish it." Mrs. Keene agreed. "When is the sale to be held, girls?" "Not for a little while yet, people are just talking about it as yet, we are only making a beginning. Mother thinks it would be a good plan for the young people to take up the idea and do the work themselves, the older women have done so much. We are "Were 'you going to sell it?" [asked Jessie, unable to conceal her surprise at Celia's statement. "I don't believe I shall ever haste the courage to offer mine for sale after seeing yours," said Celia, dis- consolately. '. (Continued From Last Week) Seats were brought and placed be- neath the birches and the four girls were soon engaged in animated con- versation. Jessie was interested in the work the other girls produced from their bags, and at once began to compare stitches and paterns in- to which all entered with an enthusi- asm that caused Mrs. Keene to smile indulgently on them all. She mentally decided that Celia was a remarkably nice girl, quite free from pride and patronage. The latter exclaimed at the beauty of Jessie's work and the invalid was much gratified at the un- stinted admiration her work produced. m1: CEI GOLDEN ACRES * mrms AND GUIDE, WESTON -'"y By Florence M. Kelly JeMttIlB.R"lmMll+rtllMIglllrl. Kithie's voice was very eager as she spoke of the vaguely formed plan they had in mind. Celia's admiration was very sincere. Jessie displayed a skill that put to shame her own work which she had thought very neatly done until Jes- sie's was produced. "I fancy she can knit, and do other things as well," said the doctor, proud of his own girl's achievements. "Anybody can knit," said Jessie, with scorn. "I can't," returned Celia; "I never could manage four needles." "But I want to hear something more about this sale; what sort of business are you girls going into?" "We want to have a home cooking stall, and sell home made bread, pies and cakes, all that sort of thing; a "Like it?" echoed Celia; "who could help liking that beautiful embroidery?" It is lovely, none of us can do work like that." rabet”; you thirik it a splendid idea, daddy? And the girls think I can help too. Celia likes my yo/k.", _ . _ Dr. Keene liked, the manner in which Celia identified herself with the people _0f the heig‘hborhood. terest. "If mother and Jessie are in favour of it, I don't see why not. This is fairly central and people hereabouts think nothing of driving a few miles more or less anyway. But what about this sale, I had not heard of it." He threw himself on the grass be- side his daughter's chair and listened with interest while/they explained. "After a while we hope to become regular contributors to the funds, this is just a beginning to get money for Red Cross supplies. Aunt Kate thinks the young people are very selfish in not doing more, so we must set to work at onee.? Her thin hands were pulling at his shabby coat sleeve as she spoke. He raised his eyebrows quizzically. "A sale? What is all this about? But I don't think I have met "this young lady," scrutinizing Celia keenly as she rose while Marion made them know to each other. "I am to blame for this," she said, her eyes meeting his frankly; "I ask- ed Mrs. Keene if we might hold our sale here on your lawn where Jessie could take her share with the rest of "What a lovely place this would be for an outdoor sale! Mrs. Keene, why couldn't we use this beautiful place, then Jessie would have a share in it herself. We could put the tables under those birtherand have a glori- ous time right here: But perhaps it would spoil the lawn." "Mother! grounds, this the sale." "I don't see why it couldn't be done, if it is noCtoo far for people from the other side of the river to come. We must wait and see what your father thinks of the,idea." IHere comes Dr. Keene now," said Kathie, who had risen in her excite- ment to survey the grounds in view of the proposed arrangement. The little group, on the lawn tum- ed to see the doctor's bay mare and shabby buggy approaching the gate. Oh, daddy! Hurry and come here!" He waved his hand to _his eager daughter, tied Dolly to the gate post and crossed the'velvety grass towards the waiting group. Hat in hand, he stood before them, a tired, careworn man whose dark eyes were very kind- ly as they gazed on the bright girl faces, If was not often he saw his own girl so animated and excited. "Daddy, can we hold a Red Cross sale on our lawn? Do say yes, Celia proposed it, and mother likes the idea." , wi.' Abashed at" her own impulsive speech, Celia subsided, but Mrs. Keene's face glowed"with approval and Jessie uttered a little cry of delight. "Mother! Do let us offer our Celiais gaze waniIdred over the beautiful lawn with its shady clumps of fine trees. "Nothing is definitely arranged yet. If we could only meet together and talk it over we could settle some- thing. In addition to our fancy work we could sell home-made candy and cooking. There is no' hall where we could hold it, but mother thought by holding it in some private house we could ask everybody to come and that would do just as well. The Lewis girls are quite keen on it, too. But we have not really made any plans yet." _ "Why couldn't the girls meet here, Jessie?" Mrs. Keene looked pleased. "We should be delighted to have them come here, it is quite central and if you care to come the house is open to you." Jessie's eyes sparkled. "Oh, do ask them to come here, Marion; I would enjoy that." - Jessie's face wore a very wistful look which vanished as Marion asked, on the impulse of the mpment. A "That is a splendid idea," agreed Mrs. Keene; "I am surprised that none of us thought of it before." "The women were going to hold a sale, as they need more money, and we thought we could help in that way," said Kathie, who'se crochet needle was flying in and out of the fine cotton at a great pace. Jessie was intensely interested. "Where will the sale be held, Marion?" Marion' looked very thoughthi and perplexed as she brought her length- ly explanation to a close. all going to meet together and talk it over, once we can get word sent to all the girls who live near enough to help. Mother thinks we should do something ourselves, so many of the girls have brothers at the front, and the town has not really organized for the work, it is all done in such a haphazard way. You see, we are so far from the larger centres people have just gone on and done what they could without any" real plan of Oper- ation, and they are beginning to think that much more could be done if we adopted a system of some kind. Some- one proposed at the sewing meeting of the church last Week that the girls all get together and form their own branch of the Red Cross Society, but we hardly know where to start." The father's face lighted with in- is the Very place for ErrrlE1h [32:13:17 Grey clouds covered the sky next morning and before noon the Gin was falling heavily. The girls went about their, accustomed tasks, regardless of the weather while there was work to be done indoors. Marion was setting up her ironing] board and preparing to Commence re- ducing the contents of the huge basket{ of dampened clothes when Celia ap- peared in the kitchen, attired in rain, coat, rubber boots and waterproof hat, and bearing a parcel of books securely wrapped in brown paper. “Celia! You ard gurely not going out in this rain?" "Yes, I promised Jessie 1 would go this afternoon, and she might be dis- appointed if I did not appear. I am taking needlework books along,"and she is going to show me a new stitch I never saw before, so my beloved young friends, expect me back when you see. me." "We must send word to all the girls around to meet at Dr. Keene's next week," said Kathie. We can write notes to-night and Davie and Dorrie can deliver them on their way 'to school to-morrow, or give them to the children there to take home with them. We want everybody to come for we must work hard if we are going to make the sale a success; don't you think so, mother?" "I do indeed,,and I hope none of you will grow tired and drop it. The boys at the front need all that we can send them. The girls who have brothers and relatives there will be glad to do all they can for their com- fort, I am sure, and those of you who have no relatives there should be the more thankful that you do not have to bear their burden of anxiety and do all in your power to help them." Aunt Kate's voice was very sober as she spoke, and her girls determined, as they listened to her words, to do all they could and to spare no effort to carry through their project. "The girls are going to iron to- morrow afternoon, but I will come over and get you to show me that new stitch, if you will. I won't say good-bye," added Celia; "expect me to-morrow." "That was a happy thought of yours, Celia. This will give Jessie something to think about and work for; it will take her out of herself. I don't believe she ever had a share in any of the young people's affairs since her childhood." The threé girls hastened home and gave Mrs. Bowen a full recital of tht_tlay's doings. Jessie looked radiant as she receiv- ed Celia's premise. . The afternoon was waning and Marion sprang up hurrriedly as she realized it was drawing near the sup- per hour and that her mother would be looking for them to appear. They all gathered up their work and pre- pared to leave. Celia saw the wistful lame girl's face. "Do come again soon," said Jessie; "when can you all come again?" "We are going to send word to all the girls to meet here next week," reminded Kathleen. ranchers' stall for fruit and vegetables, and useful things of all kinds, a candy booth, fancy work stall; everything that we think will sell. The money we make is to buy wool and other supplies. Mother thought that was a good way to get us started to work." The girls all began to talk at once, Dr. Keene listening in amusement. He interposed some practical suggestion: as to erecting booths and other de- tails, promising to help them in his spare time if the project could be carried out. "We must carry it out," said Kathie; "we girls simply have to do something _to help." Before they coilld utter further re- 1002 WESTON ROAD 1900 WASHER STORE g,i,,qi-iy CH JACK .

They have brought comfort, cleanliness and health where drudgery, dirt and dis- ease prevailed before. Yet thousands of women in this country today are shackled to the old-fashioned hand pump. In many cases they carry the water considerable distances after pumping it. The amount of time and energy lost is incalculable, In primitive countries woman is regarded somewhat as a beast of burden. She is. subjected to all sorts of drudgery, does practically all the work, and her lot is hard and dis- couraging. This custom is rightfully regarded as inhuman and uncivilized. 2958 DUNDAS W.
