There seemed to be a general desire
for calculation. and Miss Leslie pro-

showed him the burned houses down

apartments. DR.. Sterling interrupted
the narrative to say that he had seen
many women carried into neighboring
houses.
And that's why we came to christen
her Miss Phoenix" explained Townsend.
Miss Leslie then put Jack on the grill,
and all about his stupid performances:
and she had little fun with Townsend
about his wild ideas of bigamy and
blackmail. When she had finished her
story, and had answered volleys of
questions from Harry and Jack, Dr.
Sterling took the floor and asserted
that Mrs. Gray must be woman of
iron nerve to be able to go through
what she had during the past twenty
four hours without being a nervous
wreck.
You had better take the advice I
gave you this morning, Jack" he said,
with nod of his head toward Ger

Yes. dear" said Jack fondly, taking
his wife's hand; you must be pretty
well tired out. I think you had better

thought she had at last given way
Yes, Turkish bath is the best thing

you to take them regularly" he added.

The work which the Woman's Relief
Corps will do. under its pledge to the
President of the United States, is being
1000 in number. known as relief corps.
They are now organized to assist the
Red Cross in every way in which it
asks assistance. The women of these
local societies are also organizing units
of their own to furnish comfort bags,

also to make garments and such other
supplies for the soldiers as the needs
of the time demand.
The war work of the United Daugh-

some $4,000 women. will be carried on
along the same general lines as those
of the Woman's Relief Corps. Upon the
proclamation of war the president gen.
