But why not have the origi- nal? Send us your washables and you won't have to say they are as perfect as ours. The work will be ours and the real thing.

1t was on a day very shortly after

But work IS a hobby with Miss Patter-

we are to be congratulated upon her
appointment"
1.-The women of no country are or
ganized as are the women OF America,
said Miss Patterson, 'and this splendid
coordination made the task OF the
woman's committee in organizing for
war work simply a readjustment OF
club ideas and efforts from state. coun-
ty and local activities to concentration
upon the most vital national interests
called upon to aid.
"It has taken only a matter Of five
months to create splendid, unified
general organization of the women Of
war work under the direction of the
woman's committee of the Council Of
National Defense. This body acts as
the central committee of the entire or
ganization. The state committees with
their own chosen officers. and again
the county committees and even
smaller organized units. each with Its
own officers and individual working
machinery, decentralize the women's
war work of the nation as widely as
the states themselves.
'sNow, with the organization OF the
states complete and ready Tor dennite

THE men in the trenches have to be
u fed. and it is seldom safe to light
fires for cooking in the front line. Com
pany kitchens are therefore usually in
stalled a few miles IN the rear and the
food Is taken to the trenches by the cooks 8
assistants. "cuistots." as they are called
at the front.
1t is sometimes more dangerous just
behind the line than in the trenches them
selves, and the ''cuistots" must traverse
this danger zone four times a day. Al
ways the food arrives cold at the trenches:
sometimes it arrives thickened with dirt.
and sometimes 1t does not arrive at all.
In these cases the men are authorized
by their officers to eat their emergency
rations.
I will never forget one particular day
when the "cuistot'' showed up perfectly
safe but without grub, and instead Of
getting the deuce from the officers was
recommended for the war cross.
