Concerning her work the Morning
Albertan, Calgary, Alta, has said:
Mrs. Peat has studied war industry
from a TO Il. 1t is hard to put in
print the impressive story she tells
of the war zone. She is an Irish
girl with temperament and when
she tells her story she does it with
a snap of vibrant mannerism that
goes home; her meeting with her
husband Private Peat, is a bit OF
romance which she tells with naive
charm"
Mrs. Peat is now making a tour
Of the country with her husband,
speaking on subjects related to the
war and the lecture will be a direct
appeal from the women of the war
zone to the women OF South Bend
and surrounding towns.

Bend Woman's club and at the
American drug store on \. Main ST.
