She had seen Pearl leave the house
alone and wondered little as to what
mission would entice her forth at that
late hour. She had also seen Orderly

away in an opposite direction at pre-
cisely the same time.
After n while Bertha telephoned to
the war department and Informed Col

his orderly had returned and limited
that she thought this TO be very
strange. The colonel seemed to find
nothing unusual in Pearls absence,
and he suggested that she might have
sent Adams on some erraud on which
he was delayed. He told Miss Bonn
to allay her fears.
But Bertha did not heed this sugges-
ton. She telephoned to Major Thorn
ton Brent at the barracks and asked
for Adams. Brent told her that Adams
was not at the barracks and inquired

LESSONS GIVEN ON
KNITTING MACHINES
Chestnut Hill Service House Has
Glasses in Various Branches
of Work

The Chestnut Hin Service House is the
scene OF much activity. All the usual
branches of the service, such as surgical
dressings and bandages. are taught there,
and in addition. there are special classes in
practical home cooking under the direction
of Mrs. Limerick. Only four women are
in each class, SO that every pupil has a
chance for much individual attention. Les
sons on the knitting machines are also
given, which will be a great help to the
women who feel that they have not a min
ute to spare i'm getting the knitted articles
to our men. Winter is already upon US,
and by the help of the knitting machines
this work may be done more quickly and
accurately and, therefore, save much dis
comfort. The Chestnut Hill Girl Scouts
have become much interested in this work.
and also in the collection of articles to be
sent through the overseas committee to our
allies.
Besides being a place for work, the serv-
ice house will be used as a social center for
the families of the men who have gone
from Chestnut Hill to take their part in
the war, on last Friday evening a recep-
ton was given for the wives and sisters of
those men. Mrs Frederick Landstreet and
Miss Pauline Neidhaid were the hostesses
for the evening
