her shears and needle and goose she would
cut and sew and press their uniforms. The
Oldest daughter would take her place at the
loom. another at the spinning wheel, while the
younger ones would knit diligently around the
stocking, and even the four-year-old would card
wool into light, feathery pads like summer
clouds.
The younger boys would help Father on the
farm, and gaze wistfully at the shining bayo-
nets and brave uniforms as the village COM
pany marched away
From Grandfather's store Of wheat in the
granary bagfuls would be taken 70 the neigh

Grandmother's soap-kette, too, would be

winter killings would have been saved and

the wood ashes.
Evenings Grandfather would cut and sew
shoe leather and peg soles, and the children
would braid shoestrings. No factories and
no labor unions, no sewing machines and no
tango frocks. Just plain homespun; and the
girls would forego the knitted lace for their
best sumner dresses, that the brothers and
their comrades at the front should have more
necessaries, and would curb their appetltes
that the wounded might have delicacles. And
they would love their very self-denial!
The blacksmith who new-shod the horses that
galloped away and reshod the tired ones that
passed through the village would get the news
from the latest rider, and GRANDMOTHER would
find time 10 see if any word came from her boys.
Asd so the fires on hearth and furnace would
be kept burning, until the time when, please

Then the Mexican war scare came and the

sailor from pneumonia or worse. have seen
sailors in the very cold weather wearing as
many as three Of these garments one over the
other and thanking God FOR them. So ask the
women to keep on knitting. There will never
be too many sweaters or mufiiers.'
HOW THE MILITIA WORKS
But let us get back 10 the caring for the
wives and families Of the naval militiarnen,
which. after all, is the most important part OF
the work of The Militia of Mercy The organ
ization Of this work is unique.
Il is carried on By "units," each consisting
of ten women one Of whom lends her motor
car for half day every ten days. Each unit
subscribes 500 10 the cause. Three Of the ten
women are appointed as a visiting COMMITTEES
and each of these visiting committees makes
an official monthly visit to five families.
II is the duty Of each of these units to keep
IN touch, during the intervals between these
official visits with the five families assigned TO
their care 10 see what money they require and
TO assist them in adjusting their lives to meet
the changed conditions which the absence OF
the bread-winner has brought about
On the day following the official visit
printed form is filed out end sent 70 head
quarters for reference, together with subse-
quent reports which it may be necessary to
make during the course Of the month, so that
a complete record is kept Of each family helped

And so became the substitute for the miss
ing member and climbed into the big red motor
car which came to carry US on our errand OF
mercy. The two women who were good enough
to take me under their wing had paid several
visits to all but one of the families on whom
we were to call and knew their needs and the
conditions. The car was loaded with boxes and
packages containing clothes; the chauffeur re-
ceived his instructions and we were of.
As we sped along | learned little OF the
history Of each Of the families whom we were
about TO visit and incidentally great deal
about the women who were doing the visiting.
And the more listened the more | was i'm
pressed with the human sympathy of these
women. Their attitude was so different from
that OF the usual so-calle1 social worker
There was none Of that superiority which is 80
often the predominating characteristic Of these
women.
