he can have moro than three million
dressings every month between now
and the time our soldiers 60 into ac-

in the trenches. He considers that
three million each month will bare

aging response from among the hum
ydred women present as guests. but
many more workers are needed and
are urged to volunteer their serv-
ices.
one Of the speakers on the pro-
gram was Mrs. N. G. Young, who
discussed many interesting and vital
phases OF the work which will have
to be assumed by the 7. w. c. A. to
offset the various conditions re-
sultant from the war.
The other speaker was Mrs. w.
b. Hancock, who in telling what the
association means to Fargo, gave
the following facts in figures for one
year: World membership, 100000;
national membership, 360,S60; North

Mrs. Hancock also commented on
various statistics relative to the

sionally consulted, but as an old-time
friend and adviser.
"Not for my health, surely" said
Wayne. 81 never was in better trim

"Thank you" observed Wayne
dryly.
ooh, don't get offended. We are real
friends. 1t was blighting destiny
that chained you down to desk and
kept you there, a mere machine, for
ten years. 1t sort of soured the milk
of human kindness in your natural
makeup. At twenty-five you are sud-
denly lifted from mediocre subsistence
to opulence through an entirely unex-
pected legacy. You are thrown on the
world surfeited with money and as
unused to the opportunities for enjoy
ing it as an author. Therefore, say
travel, get acquainted with the world,
cultivate friendship, fellowship, and, If
the right young lady comes along,
love"
The word fell upon dull hearing. 1t
was a word nothing more to the man
to whom all womankind represented
mystical, dainty creatures, for whom
he had not cultivated even casual re-
gard. He felt this and other deficien-
cles of knowledge however, and de-
cided to see the world at large.

nearly circumnayigated the globe. He
