many big and endless little ways it is adding to
the welfare Of the men.
We in the home here feel each of US personally
grateful to you, as must every in all the homes
from which these men have gone.
You are giving these men clean, wholesome fun
and in many ways you are keeping them aft" for
the serious work ahead. Not only are you adding
materially in infinite ways to their physical COM
fort, but you are giving them that feeling that
the country which called them is interested per-
sonay in each one of them. That will mean much
for the spirit in which these men finally go forth
to fight.
We fathers and mothers, Of certainty, cannot
fail to appreciate the wonderful whole-souled
volunteer service you are doing, and 1t cannot but
be an everlasting comfort and blessing to US all.
The spontaneous and deep-rooted spirit Of the
women matches well with the quick and undaunted
spirit of the men,
We send you our warm thanks, and we wish you
Godspeed in the noble work you have taken upon
yourselves.
Very sincerely yours,
Sometimes a boy who has gone on "out

Dear Madame: ! am sorry | didn't leave any
address-but | didn't have any-so will have to
thank you for the kind interest you have shown
me, and I am sure you will meet with great
success in your noble work Of good, for there is
nothing better that you could do to help young
man, for they sure did treat me fine when |
stopped there out Of curiosity.
Would be pleased 10 hear from your organiza-
ton any time, and will Away, speak well Of it,
Thanking you for the interest you have shown,

A curious coincidence occurred only the other
day at the league. A letter was received from
a mother, who asked the league to find her son,
who had run away from home and enlisted in
the navy without her consent, and who had not
written to her for weeks.
1t seemed hopeless to try to find the boy, as
no one knew on what ship he was training. But
the very next evening Git being Saturday, that
boy came to the house in Madison Avenue and
registered. Can you imagine with what open
arms he was received or how quickly he was
led upstairs to the writing room, and how

sprinkled over lettuce and is excellent added to
salad dressings for most of the vegetable
salads. 1t blends deiiciously with potatoes IN
any form and some persons cannot conceive an
apple pie without such an accompaniment. To
crate the cheese over the pie and place in
hot oven long enough TO melt is the latest
wrinkle along that line.
Baked beans we have always with US, summer
and winter, but the jaded hot weather appe-
tite might respond to few spoonfuls Of maple
sugar cooked with the beans; or such little
thing as grinding the salt pork with which they
are to be seasoned may turn the scale. Again,
it may take few ground pickles to make any
impression.
An omelette is dainty dish always, but it
takes on a more summary air when some
minced nasturtiums or mint leaves are mixed
with it.
If you make a practice of hiding curprise
in the croquettes, no difficulty will be encoun-
tered in inducing the family to consume these

of long tables, with writing materials; then
three billiard tables piano, victrola and,
at the very back of the room, the canteen-
or, do you call it the messroom?
This canteen is a recent acquisition, and
here, again, it is the women who came forward
and offered their services to carry it on. From
4 until 10 o'clock every day the club members
are served with sandwiches, salad, ice cream,
cake, hot coffee and orangeade, each of which
costs five cents So, for 20 cents man can
get a really good meal. And it as good, for the
women in charge buy the very best of ma
terials, and they make everything but the ice
cream themselves. The men are served at
little round tables, as they would be in any
well appointed club.
At first the club members objected to the
presence of skirts" in their club, but they
promptly got over this feeling. The women IN
charge are extremely careful never to wander
from the little square section which is their
particular domain, and, being sensible women,
they never converse with the men, but sink
into their proper place in the background.
1t seems to me that one Of the great lessons
which all this war relief work is teaching our
women is that of self-effacement. Personal
vanity-the desire for the limelight-is for
gotten in the striving to do ones best for the
one great cause.
NOT CHARITY, BUT PAYMENT ON AC-
COUNT
The Navy Club has no officers or board oil
directors 1t is presided over and managed by
Mr.. Carrere a man of great sympathy and
remarkable understanding of and love for
young men. 1t is supported entirely by voun-
tary subscriptions; but this does not mean
that it has in any way the atmosphere OF
charitable institution. That it most certainly
has not; it Is exactly like any other well gov
erned mems club.
l wish that could say something to make
people realize that what is being done to give
comfort and entertainment to our boys, both
in the army and the navy, is not char1tyl 1t
is merely giving them what is their right

could-and in doing what we do we are pay

week by the National League for Women's
Service On the afternoon and evening of
those days the league keeps open house to any
bluejacket who cares to accept the invitation.
And they accept it In swarms!

ments ION the house." so to speak-cigarettes,
ice cream and cake, coffee and orangeade Last
Saturday 240 men availed themselves Of the
invitation. When l tell you that twenty-five
gallons of ice cream and twenty-five gallons Of
orangeade were consumed you may infer that
"a good time was had by ALL"
Often well known singers and theatrical
people volunteer to entertain the boys; last
Sunday Elsie Janis brought down the house
with her songs and limitations.
The guests register their names, the names
of their parents and their home addresses.
The women in charge write letters to the
mothers and fathers, in which they state that
they have seen the boy, that he is we'll and
happy, and so on. Back come the most CRATE
full letters in reply. I have begged the prvi-
lege of printing these two samples, which will
serve to show that the work which is being
done by the league is deeply appreciated by
the cod folks at home"

If you have had baked, stuffed, fried, escal-

with several grated onions. The most delicate
way to stew tomatoes Is in double boiler,
using no water upon them.

JACKIES OF ALL CLASSES
All sorts and conditions Of boys come to
the Navy Club. Mr.. Carrere told me a little
anecdote which shows the spirit Of democracy
that prevails in the new navy. A new member
was introduced to Mr.. Carrere. He was par
ticularly charming and distinguished in man
ner and in the course of conversation Mr..
Carrere asked how he had happened to enlist
as seaman in the navy. The young man hesi-
tated for moment, and then said:
"Well, sir, it was like this: had steam
Yacht, which gave to the government as soon
as war was declared. Then l decided to go
along with her, so I enlisted"
1t transpired that the young man is heir to
several millions, and he is serving as COM
mon seaman on his own yacht!
There is no way of determining the number
of members of the Navy Club, for it is a float
ing population, Eight hundred boys left last
week, but as many more have taken their
places. Not only our own men, but sailors and
marines of any of the Allied countries may

except those given by the men themselves.

Monday evening.

SHORT RATIONS OF
SUGAR ARE CERTAIN

fineries in the United States forced
to shut down because of "a shortage
of raw materials will be enabled to
resume business on a reduced basis
by the terms of an agreement reach
ed at a conference of the American
Refiners' Committee here.
This will be possible, It was an
nounced, by an equitable apportion-
ment among the refineries of the
country of all raw sugar IN stock
or offered in the market. The
agreement involves 100000 tons
bought from the Louisiana planters
last week, half of which will be dis
tributed at North Atlantic ports.
The agreement of the reflners, II
was announced, needs only the APP
prevail of the international commit
tee, headed by George NJ. Rolph
chief OF the sugar division of the
federal food administration. That
the plan will be approved Is not
doubted, it was stated.
A belief that the sugar shortage
in the country would terminate In
two weeks was dissipated by Mr.
Rolph. Hn declared that the Cuban
crop Is not yet harvested and under
most favorable conditions would not
beavallable before January /. The
Louisiana product will not be avail
