A CHRONICLE OF SOCIETY EMMA

0 &&sA SSS~ | The Red Cross asked the ladies to knit, And they said they were glad to do it,
 But alas and alack
 They won't send their things back, And our boys are the ones that Will
 rue it.
 Can Alabama--the very first on the list of states--or Birmingham, her big gest city, allow single one of our boys to go to France unprepared for tge cold weather that must come this swinter? That is exactly what will hap pen if all of the wool that has been given out by the Red Cross before and &up to October Is not returned at once in the form of warm garments for the soldiers.
 The Red Cross in Birmingham is bending every effort to send off a ban ner shipment on Friday, October 19, in order that these garments can reach the Rainbow division. Already nearly 12.oo0 knitted articles have been dis tributed to them and they need many more. Surely Birmingham will not he found wantirs when so many Alabama boys will ge with this division.
 If you are working on any knitted things for the Red Cross, or If you know any one who is making a gar ment for the soldiers, urge them to bring 1t in to headquarters-but don't say one word to them unless your own knitting is ready!
 We are not entitled to say Here we rest" until both as city and a state we have fulfilled our pledge as made by the Red Cross, to the men who are fighting for us. Do your part in mak- ing this good by finishing any work ,Shat you are doing and bring it to Headquarters by Friday.
