is not to suffer new friends must
be found for it. Many persons may
feel that by giving to war rellel
work that they are making possible
the prolongation of the war but TINS
work in Ireland is for the civil popu-
lation and primarily for Children
The fact that Ireland is wrapped up
in its children, so many of its most
representative citizens are yielding
up their lives upon the battle tield
and for the splendid principles winch
Ireland has always unqualifedly stood
for, it must be done through the pro-
lection Of the life of the children oil
the present generation. Certainly no
country has contributed more to the
world of the things that are really
worth while than has Ireland and no
neople have suffered for the prln-
ciples whidh they believed ito be
right. The United States has been
enriched by the contributions which
the Irish have made to this country.
They have given US our most honored
leaders in. every department of life
and it is but logical and right that
we at this time in the history of Ire
land should do our part in assisting
Ireland in solving the problems which
face them. For this reason the
Committee who have charge OF the
of this meeting for
Lord and Lady Aberdeen and who
have asked them to come to Alexan-
dria in order that our citizens may
have an opportunity Of having their
lives enriched by knowing such noble
people to come to this
meeting and inform themselves in
regard to the work which they re-
present.
The meeting is open to the public
and there is no admission fee, but
each one is urged to make con-
tribution at the collection which will
be taken up at the close Of the meet

The 1916 white fabrics will find more
admirers than white goods have found

stuffs which in turn has caused weav-

Of pure white. Their foresight is in
extraordinary assortments. If you are

There are occasions when nothing
can replace the dainty white frock Of

instance, conformation and graduation
periods, and there are functions where
tine girl graduates mother will appear
best in white. For all these events
manufacturers and importers have
striven to obtain the prettiest laces
and embroideries and embroidered fab
RIGS that were ever shown. On ac-
count of the war they often met with
obstacles. Therefore 1868 showing
