ing the support of number of prom

Red Cross headquarters for several
days, as she will be engaged in pack
ing her household goods During her
absence Mrs. C. NJ. Sweeney will be
I in charge of the work rooms. There
has been the greatest amount of re-
greet expressed at the removal of Mr..
! and Mrs. Berry to New York, and
there has been much CONSERVATION at
the thought of possibility of Mrs
! Berry's withdrawal from the work
which she is carrying forward to
such remarkable success.
! When asked of her plans yesterday,
Mrs. Berry said: 81 am not giving
e up the Red Cross work, and I wish
:. YOU to make this very clear. Mr..
n Berry will leave for New York City
!. in few days, and before his de-
d parture it is necessary that our
+ household goods be stored until we
n are prepared to open our New York
Y house. For this reason I shall be
e absent from headquarters for a few
$ days, and Mrs. Sweeney has kindly
= consented to take my place in the
n work rooms. I shall not leave Pen
sacola until the Red Cross work is
/ we'll organized and under way. |
q am now training a number of the
!. most efficient women who will grad
? uate in the work before I leave for
!, New York, and I shall not leave Pen
It sacola until these classes have been
closed and the women are sufficient
V ly familiar with the work to carry it
o on and to teach others"
