CHATEAU DES HALLES,
NOW cHILDREN's HOSPITAL
One Of the Most Complete Es.
tabIishments of Its Kind IN
France, With Jolly PIayrOOms
and Toys TO Amuse Patients.

Up in the mountains, where the
snow falls early and lies deep, 80 miles
from Lyons, is the little French village
of Les Halles-a story book village,
with its massive stone church standing
sentinel over. two long rows of trim,
blue-gray plaster cottages. And mile
farther on is the Chateau des HaiIeN.
where your Red Cross has established
home for 200 sick children.
Mangini built the chateau. Maj
gini was the man, who built the rafl-
road Siong the Riviera and many 9th,
er railroads in France. And thirty
odd years ago he built this castle up
in the mountains for his country home.
But soon after his two children died.
Then he died, and when his widow fsDl-
lowed him she left the chateau 10 the
city Of Lyons to be used as hospital
for children.
The Wars Wrecksce.
Then canoc the war. A ntt:e risisiet
of, tie wars wreckage began to trickie
in at Evian-"repatries, elderly meE
and woneE, children, even babies, who
had once lived in the parts Of France
engulfed by the. German tides and
whom the Germans. finding them USE
less. were beginning to ship back into
France by way of Switzerland. Grad
ually this rIvulet swelled. Soon 1000
of these unfortunates were arriving
at Evlan daily. And fully half OF
them were children, uhjernourished,
thlnly clad, dirty, sickly and, worse.
grim, spiritless, with faces that had
forgotten how to smile.
To care for these children was the
task your Red Cross at once assumed.
Worlsing with the French authorities.
the Red Cross secured permission to-
make use of the old and almost forgot
ten Chateau des Halles up there in
bad been closed. No effort bad ever
been made to fit,it up as a hospital.
YOur Red Cross. had to begin at the
very beginning.
Rooms Big and jolly.
But what a wonderful task It hasl
accomplished The Chateau des
Halles. transformed into children'sl
hospital and. rest home in furious
haste under the terrible pressure of
war needs, with little time to think
twice and no time to retrieve errors,
is not only one of the most complete
establishments of it's kind !. it is,one Of
the best children'ss hospitals in all
France. The two rooms where the
arriving children are isolated for
few days are big. jolly rooms--just
what is need to efface from the little
ones minds the memories of those iron
days behind the German lines. The
big play room Is strewn with rocking
horses and wonderful smile-entIcing
parrots and other toys carved by the
pOilus.s
And so you stray from DOM to noOm,
and everywhere you find new evil
lences of this wafchfuI care. And ;
hen you reach the bathrooms. This /
,hateau was built by man of wealth.
It's plumbing Svns excellent. and yet It
las been stripped out and replaced {
with little. low wash basins and little
shower baths that the children can use 1
more comfortably. !
That is how your Red Cross thinks Z
md cares for Frances children.
