Red Cross Work

Interminable folds of gauze,
For those whom we shall never see
Remember, when your fingers pause,
That every drop of blood TO stain
This w%hiteness, falls for you and me.
Part o. the price that keeps US free
To serve our own, that keeps us clean
From shame that other women know
o, ssviours we have never seen,
Forgive us that we are 20 slow
Cod if that blood should cry In vain,
And we have let our moments go.
The Red Cross Room needs workers.
Gauze dressings are being made every
Monday aud Friday evening from 7.3O
to $50. Wont you help?

| often sit and think of you
When L am all alone,
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own;
More and more each day / miss you,
Friends may think the wound is
healed,
But little they know of the sorrow
That within our hearts concealed.
Meath our ey es you faded slowly,
Growing day by day more frail;
Bearing sweetly all your sufferings
Without murmur, moan or wall,
You are sleeping dearest Mother,
Where the golden waters flow;
And | know that you are happy
In your everlasting home.

of paper with the illegible snarly

Scotland.
For that was what had made the
love match so romantic. Jamie Mac

since she was a girl of IA, had come
back from the States on a three
months visit to his mother, found the
child he had played with Powered into
a woman, promptly fallen in love and
married her the day before his return
to Uncle Sans land.
And she had gone willingly with
him, had willingly left them all behind.

"Since we couldn't have it Christmas,
