est is being taken in the movement Of
the ladies, so much so that all other
society pcojscss for the present give
senttal work Of preparing to relieve
suffe ring humanity and provi ling
| against contingencies which may arise
in the experience Of the Minnesota
troops. The ladies' appreciate that too
much cannot be done this week in pro-
viding the hospital corps Of the Thir-
teenth with necessary supplies as
| nothing can reach the Minnesota boys
sent after Saturday next.
The rooms in the old Schliek store
present busy aspect daily. The half
dozen sewing machines keep up con-
slant buzz under the guidance of as
many deft hands, all for sweet charity.
The executive committee met yester-
| day afternoon and decided upon
number of details which were left over
from the general meeting.
The committee decided to warn the
public, through the public press, against
parties who might solicit garments or
material for the Red Cross work, who
might have no connection with the
work whatever, and be impostors. All
donations of material will be received
| at the headquarters and receipted for
by the women in charge of the sewing
for the day. Contributions will be re-
ceived in no other way.
The committee decided to extend an
urgent appeal to the ladies Of st. Paul
to come in and assist in sewing. II
