THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN

Who had a perfectly good winter
suit which she had worn for two years,
and intended to wear again this win
ter. One day not long ago she brought
it down stairs and called the cleaner,
thinking it would look as good as new
after a. good cleaning and pressing.
The cleaner didn't happen to get
around that day and the next was the
day when they gathered clothes for
the Belgianssss Accordingly this
woman's husband picked her perfectly
good suit up with his contribution to
the Red Cross and when the cleaner
arrived she looked in vain. why. that
was my good winter suit" she ex-
planned to her husband afterwards.
She has written to a relative in the
war zone that If he sees a woman
coming down the street in a perfect
thirty-six" suit, just as good as new
she will know that.is her suit, which
was given thru a mi axe.
