tables were lighted with the old-time
"tallow dips" placed in the best brass
candlesticks of our great-grandmoth-

An Appeal for Clothing.

A Red Cross campaign for one
week only will begin March Is in re-
Spouse to an appeal of the commits
sion for relief in Belgium. Instruc-
lions from headquarters are to sus-
pend other Red Cross work if neces-
sary to make this drive successful.
5000 tons of clothing is the cry that
comes to the United States from the
Relief commission. The quota for
Orleans is $50 pounds. 1t is useless
to send garment which is not made
of strong and durable material as the
clothes are subjected to the hardest
kind of USE But this does not mean
that all garments must be in perfect
repair. There are a hundred thou
sand women and girls in Belgium and
France trained to repair and remake
old clothing. In many places a whole
family sleep on bags of leaves with a
single blanket. The well-to-do are
short of necessities, the poor are in
dire need. The world is short of
material. We must put our spare
garments to the service of the world
These allies of ours need promptly
this relief in their restitution. 1t is
a measure of pure economies, con-
servation and patriotism. The COM
mission for relief has the ships and a
safe conduct pass for its ships.
Packages may be left at the Or
leans club rooms at any time during
the week. Packing and sorting will
begin Thursday afternoon in place of
sewing.
Please send in articles as early as
you can.
AS this is called a test of efficiency
of each Red Cross organization, Or
leans must not fall down.

Secretary.
