Tbere was one woman seventysix years old,
whom noticed especially. She was sitting IN
one of the workrooms where there were about
three hundred women; some were making lace'
some making clothes sewing machines gwen
by the Rockefeller fund; other were knitting. and
as I came into the room l heard the strains OF
the "Brabanconne," the Belgian national anthem
They were singing 1t while they worked-young
and old-and as their voices rose in unison and
the beautiful words, Belgium ever must be free.
rang out clear in this little world Of outcasts
among these women who have, many of them
lost all, save their patriotism, caught sight OF
the old woman She making lace, and her
toworn hands, her deep-lined face and the I'M
utterable sadness of her eyes made picture un
forgettable and impressive.
The children look happy and healthy in the
nursery, where the ones are; in the kinder
garten and In the schoolrooms, where sweet
faced nuns whose converts have been burnt be-
fore their very eyes, have taken up their work
here, and in this strange new environment are
teaching the exiled boys and girls to take up the
tasks which will soon fall upon their young
shoulders.
All the work of the camp is done by the refu-
gees themselves, and there are various work
shops and cassrooms besides. One very inter-
esting feature is the work done under the guild
ance of the English Society of Friends
They have furnished all the material and are
now teaching the men in the camps to construct
portable houses. At Gouda there are 60 Of these
now finished, and they are delightful little homes,
consisting mostly of two rooms living room
and a big bedroom, divided into two more COM
partments. The houses painted white out
side, with green roofs. and inside they paint
ed light gray. All the furniture has also been
made In the camp shops, and as each man fin
ishes one entire house he is allowed to live In
It with his family.
