Smith Girls Make Sacrifices.
Mrs. (. G. McGilton has letter
from her daughter, Miss Eleanor Nc
Clifton, from Smith college telling OF
the patriotic wave, as we'll as the sac
riicial streak affecting the Smith
girls. THE girls are simply bursting
with patriotism" she writes. Last
Friday, after an appeal made for
prisoners of war, the college girls
pledged themselves to give $500 to
the relief fund after Easter. Many OF
the eastern girls OF great means
pledged large sums, but the majority
Of girls on allowances are making
many real personal sacrifices in order
TO make their pledges.
ut is not an uncommon sight now
to see bruised knuckles on the girls
hands, since a number of them are
washing their own blouses to save
the laundry bills" writes Miss Nc
Clifton.
Giving up new prom dress is the
Omaha girls sacrifice, and she re-
marked that she was really thankful
that she already had party wrap,
for so strong has the impulse become
to sacrifice all worldly things that she
might otherwise deem it wise TO do
without it.
The general sentiment at Smith
seems to be that il the United States
!, does get into war the college will be
transformed into base hospital and
that the girls taking the Red Cross
work will be made assistant nurses.
A meeting is to be held this week
to determine the ACCESSIBILITY OF CIV
ing up the prom, the great social
event of the college, since there will
be scarcity of men in the event OF
war.
A Bit Of news concerning former
Omaha girl, Miss Winifred Rouse,
who is making good in college, is her
recent appointment to the position OF
assistant editor-in-chief of the Smith
College Monthly. 1t is considered
quite an honor to hold the position,
since she had to be recommended by
the English department and then
voted upon by the present staff.
