This course is required as a prep
aration for service in connection with
the base hospital units now being or
gained by the American Red Cross
for service in event of war. The mere
| taking OF either course and receiving
certificate for the same does not
pledge one to volunteer her service
in case of war. The selection OF those
fitted to serve as nurses aids is made
by cooperation between the instruc-
tor, the examiner and the chief nurse
OF base hospital.
The certificates are signed by the
president of the United States and
the president OF the Young Women's
Christian associations national or
ganization. Miss Eta Pickering, gen.

local branch used the Young
Women's Christian association build

ton conducted four classes in Red
Cross first aid work.
What with appeals being made to
women to encourage their men folks
to enlist, woman's part will be no
small one should the crisis material
ize. No more eloquent tribute to the
part she has borne so nobly in the
European war could be uttered than
the one made publicly by David
Lloyd George in his memorable
speech in the House of Commons
last week, practically assuring British
women of the franchise in the near
future.
Many vital questions will come be-
fore the biennial council meeting Of
the General Federation Of Women's
Clubs in New Orleans April 9-l3.
Among them are:

Mrs. L. B. Elliott, New Orleans.

of the conference which the depart.

she act but she knows how to de-
sign and wear gowns that are
seized upon by fashion experts.
In THE Duchess of Doubt"
which is at the Apollo, she has her
best opportunity for splendid act

She takes the part of poor
girl who yearns for some sort of
fame. Inheriting a few thousands,
the girl goes to famous winter
resort and there is mistaken for a
duchess. She lives up to the part
by looking pretty and wearing
pretty clothes. A strong love

ably presented by an admirable
cast.
