this week that all the world and
his wife love child!

working committee of the Chill
dren's Home for the past week,
has been the scene of daily DEM
onstrations of generosity Women
from east, west, south and north
have come, not unwillingly as If
pressed into service, but gladly,
with smiles and voluntary offers
of help, and with regret that they
could not have more articles to
sew and finish. Daily women have
come here to cut and measure and
Nrepare garments for these splen-
did volunteers all over the city.

1t was first thought that
everyone who will have contribut-
ed in any way to this work should
be mentioned by name in the
papers, merely as a recognition
of service. But 1t Is quite impos-
sible to secure every name, as the
list will run into thousands, en-
bracing many outlying districts.
Every original hostess is re-
quested to have in her home,
wrapped and marked with the
name of each second hostess every
bundle of finished work for which
she is responsible by May %.
The whole package should then
bear the name of the original hos
tess. The package will then be
called for the last week in May
and taken out to the home, where
they will be exhibited at the tea
to be given there early in June.
This marking is merely for the
enlightenment of the ladies Of
the committee, who are naturally
anxious to know to whom they
are indebted.
1t is urged that all women
watch the papers for the an
nouncement of the tea to be given
at the Home in June. Everyone
is invited to attend.
