CAMPFIRE NOTES.


One of the patients of the st. Albani
Hospital, lady of undoubted respecta-
bility, is a protege of the Woman's Re
/ lief Corps Department of Vermont, al
| though a member of the corps in the de-
partment of Massachusetts,. She was Wis
! iting in Swanton when taken sick, and
after her funds were exhausted, she was
cared for by the Swanton Corps until theiI
| funds gave out. She was then assisted by
/ the Hospital Auxiliary Association, and
A. X. Hurlburt Relief Corps of st. Albans,
the Woman's Relief Corps expending be-
tween sixty and seventy dollars, besides
furnishing many delicacies. The matter
being brought to the attention of the
State department, action was taken and
each OF the 80 corps are to pay a weekly
board indefinitely. Such action should
be Justly appreciated. Over 1000 loyal
women of Vermont are members, TO whom
ii is pleasure to appreciate such good
work of law and order, chastened and
warmed by the sunlight of paternal love,
sisterly charity and loyalty to each other,
and our honored veterans and their fami-
lies.
