Where?
Why, to the Red Cross headquar-
tiers, of course, to see the exhibit to-
morrow afternoon. All the work done
in the various departments during the
past summer months will be placed on
exhibit and it will be well worth see
ing. These things will be shipped
next Saturday and will be the largest
consignment yet made from this chap
ter. This is the first time there has
been a full shipment from all the de-
partments at the same time.
In the garments just completed have
been sewn markers on which are
printed in indelible ink: Compliments
