There are some girls who can't sew. what
about them" asked.
"Good question" smiled Miss Carson. Lots
of them aren't much good at sewing, but those
girls can pledge themselves 10 give dollar
month TO buy material for some girl who does
sew One dollar a month isn't much, but 1t
will buy the material for the four garments
which some other girl makes in that month,
and there you are.
WHERE THESE WORKERS COME FROM
Maybe you'd like to know the names OF 'ne
business houses where our girls come from'
she continued, pulling out file of cards. here
are a few: The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company the Equitable Life Assurance 90
ciety (they are wonderful workers, by the
way), Vacation Association, American Limo
graphic Company, New York Edison Company,
Kuhn. Loeb & Co.. Lee, Higginson & Co.,
Farmers Loan and Trust Company, General
Chemical Company Robinson Co, Cafe
Savarin Alexander Shoe Company-and there
are lot Of others.
There are in New York City over 100000
business women" continued Miss Carson. out
of these at least 100000 can sew. Think Of
what it would mean if business women's
shipment Of 100000 garments could be sent TO
France each week.
And after France is clothed there are Bel
gum and Poland and Serbia! I'm going to
get those 100000 women, and it won't take
long, either.
Listen to this, from a letter which has just
come from Mrs Dixie, who is living with Miss
Morgan and others in the old chateau:
"'To-day has been d wonderful day. We
have opened marvellous cases containing gar
ments of exactly the kind most needed at this
moment-underwear boots, corduroy suits for
the men, and skirts and blouses for the women.
I've shall take some of the fresh, pretty
clothes with US to Selens, where we found
eight little children of the State Orphsnage
who have lived through the war, forgotten
by the officials of the orphanage, in one
small room under the care of an old French
peasant woman. When we saw them few
days ago an army transport driver who had
been an instructor in pre-war days was giving
them lessons in his hours off duty"
It is worth while, isn't it? I'm sure it is,
so have filled out the pledge card which Miss
Carson gave me. You can do likewise and
send one dollar month for one year to Over
seas Relief National League for Woman's
Service, 257 Madison Avenue.
And there are forty-eght more garments
for France.

can help 10 relieve.

was this: that the business women of New
York City should take it upon themselves to
clothe the inhabitants of certain villages in
Northern France which have been reclaimed
by the French
And so, early last May, the Business Won
ems Service for Overseas Relief was founded.
Through the efforts of Miss Morgan the
French government has given its support and
has appointed in each Of the eighteen villages
a responsible person to take charge of the dis
tributon Of the garments and TO see that they
are given where they are most needed
More than that, Miss Morgan herself, to-
gether with Mrs. A. NJ. Dixie and several other
members of the American Fund for French
Wounded, is living at the present time in a
ruined chateau in the very heart OF this region
and is personally experimenting the distrbu-
tion Of the garments-so the chain is quite
complete.
The pictures on this page were sent over
recently by Miss Morgan, and in the letter
which accompanied them she said:
"All l can say to you splendid workers over
there is to keep on working harder than you
have before. Whatever time you can spare
from your lives can never be spent to bet
ter purpose. Perhaps these little photos which
| inclose will show you little of the picture
as we see it ourselves; the desolation is indeed
terrible but think what it means TO know that
at least certain number of families have a
new courage and new strength to face the
coming winter because Of what you have all
been able TO do"
The workrooms of the Business Women's
Service are in a loft building in West Twenty
third Street. They used in the day time
by the workers for the American Fund for
French Wounded; every evening the building
from top to bottom is filled with the volunteer
workers from the ranks of the tired business
woman"-all ages, all classes and all nationali-
ties. But banded together in "a great common
cause with great definite object, they work
with such speed and such enthusiasm that it is
difficult to realize that this is for them the "end
of a perfect day" that they have already
worked at least eight hours in Office or factory
or store.
There are four groups of women who work
regularly one night week from 7 until 10
o'clock.
New-York tribune., 1917-10-14

On Monday they are expert seamstresses; on
Tuesday. the librarians from the New York
Public Libraries; on Wednesday, a group of
school teachers from The Bronx, and on Thurs
day, girls from the Vacation Association. Fri
day and Saturday evenings are filled by work
ers from various organizations.
Besides the workers at these rooms, however
there are hundreds Of girls who take the cut
out garments from the rooms and make them
at home Often the mothers and sisters and
friends help with this work. 1t is also quite
a common occurrence for man to ask for the
garments so that his wife may sew them. Il
seems that everybody wants to help.
REAL FRENCH GARMENTS ARE MADE
And you should see the garments. They are
quite different from those which We make for
our own people. They are of the real French
peasant type, made from models and patterns
which were brought over for the purpose by
Mrs Robert Bacon, wife of our former AM
basSador TO France.
Now | ask you, who but woman would
have thought of that?
And isn't it a splendid idea TO clothe these
poor, miserable people in the kind Of clothes
to which they have always been accustomed,
rather than 10 put them into garments that
would be strange and uncomfortable to them?

1t hasn't always been possible to set the

the most discerning peasant woman could
scarcely tell the difference.

But the garments for the little boys are the
"Frenchiest" Of all, for they include, among
other things, the familiar black pinafore and
the short wooen cape with the pointed hood.
Then of course there are warm cotton fan

of queer little baby clothes The latter, by the

interesting Of al the women's war relief or

clothing of the civilian population In eighteen
of the recently reclaimed villages Of Northern
France.
It began with the members Of the Business
Women's Club. who wanted 10 do some partcu-
lar, definite kind Of war relief work, but who
owing to their business hours, could not JOIN
any Of the existing organizations. In a guam
dsrv as to how to find this definite work, they
sent delegation to talk it over with Miss Anne
Morgan. thinking that she might suggest some
thing.
Nix Morgan called in Miss Jessie Carson
who had worked among the business women in
connection with the Vacation Association, and
knew them thoroughly. Between them they
evolved plan which they submitted to the
committee.
It was received with real enthusiasm. 1t

And after the families are clothed there are

for them warm, woolly bathrobes, knitted
stockings and sort Of high moccasin made OF

Simple as all these garments are, there is,
nevertheless. a good deal Of work in them,

the various pieces must be assembled This
work is done by the younger girls. who are
