That Is the opinion of Hortense

In q letter to Charles Lathrop
Pack, president of the National

by sending its garden primers
throughout the State. In another
part of her communication Mrs.
Moore says:
"The woman who sits on her
porch this year and crochets and

no better than the woman who
sits at the bridge table, who
slaves over dress or who seeks
diversion at summer resorts while
our sons and brothers are giving
up their lives that she may be
