fund which the late Mrs. Frank Leslie,
widow Of the noted publisher, left to
the Woman's Suffrage Association,
will be depleted by at least $4,000, If
Miss Annie. S. Simmons. Of Charleston
S. c., has her wishes gratifed. A hear
ing.of her suit against the estate for
$4,000 comes up today. Miss Sim
mons was one Of the several travel
ing companions necessary to the ease
and comfort of the late Mrs. Leslie
and to whose lot it fell to oficiate as
maid to Mrs. Leslie's pampered pet
poodle. She was left $4,000 in the
will but says one of the reasons why
she is entitled to $4,000 is the fact
that at one time she was subjected to
abuse by Mrs. Leslie because she re-
fused to take the dog out for ex ercise
on Broadway at night, while dressed
only in a kimona.

The following message has been re-

to your Chapter:
"The question is being raised by
some as to the amount which is going
to be required for overhead expenses
in the carrying out of the work of the
Red Cross by the War Council.
Obviously it is impossible to foretell
the expenses of operation at the Nat.
ional headquarters in the conduct OF
this work as there r so many factors
as yet undetermined. l, of course,
cannot guarantee it, but l am perfect
ly willing to hazard the prediction that
not more than one per cent. of the
money to be expended by the War
Council will be absorbed in admins
tration expenses"
