Y. M. C. A. Huts in London

British Y. M. &C. A. huts ares COM
Portable and coy, but the American
Y. NJ. C. A. has new hut on the
Strand for our army and navy men
called the Eagle Hut" which is by
far the best thing of its Kind that
London has ever seen. American
Idainties, soda fountains, ice cream,
telephones, two hundred fine cubicles
for sleeping, hot and cold baths, read
ing, writing, smoking and recreation
rooms in advance of all similar huts.
The hut is freely-at the service of the
men of all the allied nations. There
| is also an abundance of familiar liter
AZURE for every American family IL.
London send its papers and magazines
there.
The American colony was present in
force at the Eagle Hut" opening,
which was conducted by Ambassador
Page. Among the well known there
were Mrs. John Astor, Mrs. Anthony
Drexel, Bishop Bury, General Sir
Francis Lloyd, Princess Victoria and
Mrs. Page and many others. Lady
Forbes Rorebtson Gertrude Elliott)
sang several plantation songs which
scored a big hit. Traffic in the
Strand was held up when the "Star
Spangled Banner" ringing from hum
dreds of threats, came swelling from
| the hut.
Lady Curzon wore black lace and
her renowned pearls and other big
supporters were "out in uniform, +"
while others wore working kits of
gray striped overalls and deep rose
red silk caps, relieved by a few
strings of pearls and diamond
watches-but then this was a very
grand occasion!
Help the Y. M. C. A. fund which
provides these comforts for our boys.
Mr.. C. A. Fort loaned several doz-
len chairs to the Red Cross card party
saturday afternoon, free of charge,
and not only that, he delivered and
called for them on Monday morning.
All these donations are appreciated
as they helped make the Red Cross
affair so successful.
