Work FOR housekeeping in at the
Ladies' Committee Room, we found that they
had promptly sent off TO the army all the Hos
pital supplies they had made up; but they are
now busily at work again cutting and parties
who are disposed, can find sewing at their
rooms.
Jellies, Raspberries, Vinegar, Pickles, &C.,
will be gratefully received at the rooms and
forwarded to the soldiers. All bandages should
be rolled hard, as such as are not properly roll
ed have to be re-rolled by the ladies. Ban
diges should be from three to six inches wide,
and ten to twenty feet long, sewed together
strongly by tapping, and without any selvages
or seams. Old cotton is better than new, bun
if new is used it should be first washed to re-
move its stiffness.
