Il which Miss Elizabeth Elllcott Poe has
issued to those who were members Of the
First National Service School, which was
held in Chevy Chase during May, that
there will be two other camps before the

THE Alumnae Society Of the First Ma

School who attended the school, whether
graduates or not, and all members of the
committees are eligible Cor membership

garding the dues, then Miss Poe con-
tinues in her circular):
"The National Service School Commit
tee of the Woman's Section Of the Navy
League begs leave to announce that here
will be a National Service School, held
under the auspices of the Main Commit
tee in accordance with the plan of the
First National Service School by the Chi
cago members of the woman's Section of
the Navy League, at Lake Geneva, Wis,
from August is to September is, 1916.
ElTSL INaLlOlldl SHTNlCe oIllOOi SbuuSlNo w
string to attend will please apply at once
to William NJ. Lewis, 11O South Dearborn
street. Chicago, Ill.
"a National Service School will be held
at Narragansett Pier, II. l., from Septem-
ber to 20. The membership in the lat
ter school Is limited to 100, and those de-
string to enroll are advised to do 30 at
the earliest possible moment Applica-
tions should be made to Mrs. Irving H.
Chase, Miramar, Narragansett Pier, r. 1.
Uniforms used at the First National Serv-
ice School can be used at either of the
new schools.
THE certificate to be given to all those
who passed satisfactorily In the various
branches of instruction at ttN First Ma
tional Service School will be sent out be-
fore August /. The delay in sending
them has been due to the difficulty in as
sembling all the marks.
1.-THE roll of honor Of the First National
Service School Is still open in this time of
national crisis to all students who can
induce ten other women to perfect them
selves in some form Of national service
training. Many Of our students have
BldTLSu Cld5SSS III buA bASShi Va SsSAi'oS $50
their homes and are cooperating in other
ways with the American Red Cross-the
big brother of the army and navy.
May point out to National Service
students the special responsibility which
is theirs at the present time. The eyes Of
the entire country are upon them to see
If they are going to put the training they
received into practical use. and they must
not fail lest the work of the school be un-
justly criticised.
"At the national headquarters of the
woman's Section of the Navy League we
have classes running both night and day
in the making of surgical dressings, etc.
We have the services of Red Cross nurses
as instructors and we are endeavoring to
make a goodly supply of these articles
for the use of our soldiers, sailors and
marines. Any National Service School
student who cannot help personally in
making the surgical dressings, etc, can
assist the good work great deal by con-
trlbutions in any amount raised among
friends and sent to national headquarters
for the work in progress here. Faith
fully yours,
"Commandant.

Possibly some of the members who en-
joyed the month Of camp life in Chevy
Chase will want to go 10 either of these
other schools or will think 1t advisable
TO aid in the work, which, If it does moth,
ing else. occupies number Of women who
hitherto had given over the greater part
of their time TO frivolings and fripperies
during both summer and winter.
Cape May is indignant, together with
Mrs. Gamble Latrobe, perfectly charm
ing Baltimore woman, who has taken a
cottage there for the summer, over the
treatment recently meted out TO her. A
few days ago Mrs. Latrobe motored over
TO Chelsea with a party Of friends for the
day. Before she left she paid all five
maids up to date and left feeling safe and
comfortable that all was well in her
household.
When the motor party returned-much
TO the matrons horror. the cottage was
all shut up and she had to appeal to the
real estate agent for a key. When she
finally got inside she found a curt note
saying that all five had decided TO leave.
I wonder that they had the kindness to
close up the house, and greatly do sym
pathize with the poor lady.
