A S ATRIBUTE to Dr. Alice Barlow-Brown, who returned about' A a month ago from the Lorraine sector, the members of the! : Winnetka Woman's club turned out in great numbers to wel- | come back their fellow member, Dr. Alice Barlow-Brown, as we. all know has devoted the past two years to work among the women | and children in war-stricken France. Winnetka has been standing | hack of her in furnishing funds to enable her to accomplish this | clorious work. In her few words of greeting Dr. Brown told of the great need for the continuance of this sort of work; of the establishment of a temporary hospital for the children, who are either tubercular or 'haverperhaps lost an arm, or hand, by accidentally picking up a hand | grenade. The roof of this building has been supplied through the | remaining fund which Winnetka provided for Dr. Brown and her work. Immediate attention and care will save the lives of many of these children, and their mothers, who for the last four years have been so undernourished, and many of them without homes. Winnetka is exceedingly proud of Dr. Brown, and is awaiting an opportunity to hear her tell in more detail of the work that must be done in devastated France. | | | i i | | | ® ® Mrs. John R.
