The girls made over 100 knitted garments and many garments for the French re- fugee children this year. They gave a dance at the end of the year, sending the money they made over expenses, to the recreation fund of Battery E of the 333rd Field Artillery, now stationed at Camp Robinson, Sparta, Wis. It seemed most ap- propriate as many of the north shore men are in this battery. A letter of acknowledgment from the Command- ing officer, Lieutenant De Loss Kahl, follows: "In behalf of the members of Bat tery "E", I wish to acknowledge the receipt of your check for a donation from the Working (irl's club, to Battery "E". Most of the men of this Battery originally came from the north shore and you may justly be proud of them. In spite of their loyalty and willingness to work, ar- my life sometimes becomes irksome, because they miss some of the little scomforts which the army does not provide for them. These courtesies and donations from their friends are highly appreciated by the soldiers, for it enables them to make their quarters more homelike and to pro- vide entertainment which they other- sise would not have. It makes them feel that their efforts are appreciated and it gives an added satisfaction that the folks back home are trying to do their bit." ---- af -- The Gift Shop Vegetable market, too, has become an established in- stitution. Fvery. Saturday morning, bright and early, the villagers come forth with their market baskets, to purchase the nice vegetables handled on Community green, the surplus of the war gardens in the Village. In fact there are calls for far more vegetables than can be supplied. If you haven't seen some of your friends recently you are urged to meet them Saturday mornings at the market, for it is quite the fad to come in early, select your vegetables, and then have a comfortable chat in some cozy corner. The Recipe tree, too, is creating quite a sensation. and many of us are finding excellent recipes for conservation. Mrs. John Montgomery and a number of assistants will be in charge on Satur- day morning of this week, and next week, Mrs. Lyman T. Walker and another committee, will take care of things. Over in one corner of the green, underneath a bright red huge parasol. is Miss Beatrice Starr. She presides | over a table of garden hats, Aprons, | and implements. Remember, the proceeds of these affairs go to Dr. Brown and her worl in France. ---- At Indian Hill club Wednesday the finals for the Woman's championship were played. Following were the re- sults: Hoyt Cup. Miss Elizabeth Klotz defeated Mrs. H. B. Coffin. 6 and 4. Smith Cup. Mrs. J. W. Prin- diville defeated Mrs. R. O. Berger. 1 up. Murray Cup.

Thirty-nine boys and girls attended and had a good time. The institution was started three years ago by Miss Anne Jane Ardis, who is superintendent of the | home.

MEDICAL WORK AMONG FRENCH WOMEN PROBLEM (Continued from Page One) problem. We went to Dr. Maynard Ladd, director of our work in Meurthe Moselle, and he said."bring the children with the mother, we will keep them in Toul until she is well and strong." That alone is a great and generous work, for it puts the family physically and financially on their feet without giving them direct charity. Is it worth while? The women of France are good sports; they help win the war, your war, their war, and they have done so for the last four years. They have given their husbands, their boys and now are giving their health. Our Winnetka dispensary is amongst the munition workers and when a woman has handled and lifted 130 pound shells for ten hours a day or night, as they work in two shifts, besides having several babies, is it no won- der she needs medical attention. Tuberculosis Camp We are very sorry and unhappy to saw so, but tuberculosis is one of France's great problems. We have | a great many tubercular patients. The Winnetka dispensaries give each one of them two dozen of eggs, one can of milk and a pound of cocoa i week. They also receive warm cloth- | ing. Owing to the great need for al place to care for them, Dr. Ladd has | again come to our rescue; he plans to have a tubercular camp, where the people can come in the morning and rest in the sunshine all day, be- | side getting three good meals a day. These, my dear Mrs. Taylor, are true facts and they are to our mind worth while. It has been a great pleasure and privilege to work for the A. F. F. W, and we have most sincere co-operation from the Paris office. We are trying our best to do you people at home justice. I have been grant me that I crave my baby and husband, but it will be terribly hard No | one can understand the psychology | of the war--there is something that | just takes hold of you and you feel that you must be right in it. hoy Thorne said this very thing last | night. But through it all T feel as | if my baby needs me at home and my | husband to leave my children and women, Your | too. I send you a picture of an old woman who calls me her | | girl.
