Have you a lingerie gown or a pretty evening gown or a waist partly worn, which will do for children's dresses, hats, to infants bonnets? Have you any laces or ribbons in your odds and ends box? Have you any short lengths of materials? Have you any bits of velvet or other materials for children's winter hats? If so, please leave them with Miss O'Brien. Can you spare a little time to make a little garment as your contribution to the sale, to occur early in October? Finished articles may also be left with Miss O'Brien, or with any member of the Gift Sh op committee, since the shop is closed during August, except Saturday mornings. A recent letter from Charlevoix brings the news, that the chief at- tractions at that resort nowadays are much Red Cross work, some golf, very occasional cards, one unmarried young man, and no dances, so one might judge that the people who are summering there are having rather a dull time, but they aren't. On the contrary, they are so busy with Red Cross work that they have little time in which to miss the various di- versions that used to be considered essential for a good time at a sum- | mer resort. Among the Winnetka cottages and their guests at Chare- voix are the Misses Madeleine and Priscilla McIlvaine, and Mr. and Mrs. John Stuart and Miss Joan Stuart of Hubbard Woods. ---- Major Roy A. Shaw of Winnetka, | who has been on duty in Washington as Chief of the Supply Control di-| vision, office of the Quartermaster General, is in France. Major Shaw went to Washington the latter part} of February at the request of Mr. | Robert J. Thorne of Chicago, who| was then director of the Supply Con-'! trol, and succeeded him when Mr. Thorne was appointed assistant to the acting quartermaster general in March. Mrs. Shaw and their daughter are spending the month of August with Mrs. Shaw's mother in the mountains of southern California. i The Vegetable market continues with increased success each week. On Saturday morning, Mrs. Lyman T. Walker and a group of assistants, will be in charge of the sales, and on the following week, Miss Olive Grover will act as chairman.

NURSES' SCHOOL The Government is' calling for 25.- 000 young women to join the United States Student Nurse Reserve and hold themselves in readiness to train for service as nurses. The war is creating an unpreced- ented demand for trained nurses. Only those who have taken the full training course are eligible for serv- ice with our forces overseas. These nurses are being drawn largely from our hospitals at home. Their places must be filled by student nurses en- rolled for the full training course of from two to three years. Every young women in Winnetka who en- rolls in the United States Nurse Re- serve is releasing a nurse for service at the front and swelling the home army which we must rely on to act as our second line of hospital de- Upon the health of the American people will depend spirit of their fighting forces.
