tain Peter Latham, of the Connaught
Rangers. will talk to the workers at
o'clock Really, you have no idea what
Interesting times we have at this auxiliary.
\ Every Monday there is some one very
worth while to speak while the fingers fly
cutting bandages and making surgical
dressings.
Last week Arthur Jones told of his eX-
periences in ambulance work, and he told
the story about Billy Thomas, who never
used to receive letters "over there and
so when mail time came he would 90 back
Of the tents and smoke. One day pack
age came for him and when they called
his name he would not go, because he said
It must be a mistake; there was no one
to write to him or send him packages.
Well, they brought him the package and 1t
was for him, and he was delighted You
see. one of the men had written to his
sister and said, You are always sending
me letters and packages and how love
to get them; but next time instead OF
sending to me. send package to Bill
Thomas: he never gets any" SO she did.
Immediately the workers at COS got busy,
and Mrs. Lorimer, who is chairman of
the auxiliary, tells me they have formed
Billy Thomas committee to send packages
now and then to the Billy Thomases In
the army.
Next Monday Mr.. Henry Scattergood,
who has been 'ovcr there" doing recon.
struotion work viii speak to the workers
Of conditions In the looted villages and give
. detailed account of the reconstruction

Ing, but Whose loyalty to country has sent
them over to do all they can In n peace
f,il way TO help
Captain Latham is extremely interesting,
20 I for one do not intend to miss the
chance of hearing him this afternoon.
THROUGH at first they declared they
i would not be married before Jack went
to France, they have decided otherwise and
the fate for Lois Cassatt's wedding to John
R.>fhayer. Jr., will he Saturday, December
15. Mrs. Louie Borie is going to be matron
Of honor at the wedding
It Is rather interesting, in view Of the
fact that there have been much and many
remarks among those who think they
know about n difference in age between
Lois ana Jack, to state plainly and clearly
that the difference is not quite year. and
to state 1t authoritatively, for I know.
The ceremony will be performed by the
Rt. Rev. Philip NJ. Rhinelander Bishop OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church Of Phia-
dslphia.
The bridesmaids will include both Peggy
and Polly Thayer, Jacks sisters, Gretchen
Clay. Margaretta Benson. Eleanor Gamble.
