 her not to go to England if she wished to serve humanity where most in need. Tn England there was already an abundance of women of
 high order of intellect and every added woman would be a drain on
 the resources of the land. "If you
 wish to be of the utmost use, go to Serbia"

In her talks she spent as little time as possible in bringing before her audience the ur- gent need of cash. but told in sim pie and impressive words of the real nobility of the Serbs.
 Most of us think of this compara lively little known country as wild almost barbarous nation. Miss Sa- bine paints it's natives as simple but lovable people, honest and steadfast and willing to make any sacrifice for their country. The country may not be one of the most advanced i'll the world, but the peo pie as q whole are by no means ig- norant and a scene on the streets of a Serbian city. shown on the screen, looked not unlike any European city.
 Indeed. Miss Sabine said, with a twinkle in her eye, that she was able to buy smarter clothes in Ser bia than in Athens, the fount of all culture.
 The field secretary has now left Lyme for New York city, where she will remain until she has raised the whole of the required sum. Ac- cording to the rate of progress she has been making, that date ought to be around the first of the year. Then she will return to Serbia.
