To these Aids this counsel is given:
Your appointment means work. Lay
close to your hearts the necessities of
the Woman's Relief Corps. Let the
honor of the members of this Depart
ment be as dear to you as your own
honor. ''See thou character" in all
things; nothing else matters. Forget
the personal differences, the small pref
udices. Be women, and you will be
good lieutenants for your Department
President and advance the interests Of
the Order.
Fraternal Visits.
To get better acquainted with the
members of the Woman's Relief Corps
of this Department, and to promote a
spirit of fraternity and interchange Of
ideas, the Department President an
nounces that she and members of her
staff Will visit the Corps Of the Depart
ment during the May meetings. She
then says: tf
your Department President fully
appreciates all the courtesies and kind
nesses her Corps may desire to extend
to her and her staff, but these must not
be permitted to be tax upon the Corps
Treasury or a burden tot Corps mem
bers. 1t is therefore her wish that no
refreshments be served upon the occa-
sion of these fraternal visfts''f
The Department President calls at
tention to the following decisions of
National Convention, which will also be
instructive to other Corpsi,i ii

plicant for admission by transfer, the
transfer card is returned, so Endorsed.
