Mrs. Philip L. Holzer, president of
the Bridgeport Art League, has ar
ranged very interesting feature for
the members at the regular meeting
of the League on Monday afternoon
in the rooms in the Staples building.
Routine matters will be disposed of
after which Mrs. F,rieda Van EN-
den of New York city, is to speak on
wood carving. Mrs. Van Emden is
an expert woodcarver and handicraft
worker and at present she is speak
ing for the National League for
Women's Service.
She is teaching to society women
in New York the knowledge she pos
sesses of the art so that they may be-
come teachers and instruct the con-
valescent soldiers who are invalided
home. 1t will give them a useful
occupation until they are strong
enough to be UP and about. 1t is a
most interesting work and Mrs Van
Emden is delightful speaker. The
hour for the meeting is $3.50 o'clock.
In addition to this talk there is to
be an exhibition of textiles from the
Noank studios in New York city The
work of these studios was awarded
some fine prizes at the exhibition of
the Art Alliance last month.
Designs for apparel for women's
wear of different descriptions will be
shown. 1t is very high class work
and should furnish inspiration for the
members of the League.
Once again the Minute Women are
proving their worth. The Red Cross
chapter has asked of them that they
undertake the big drive for clothing
for the Belgians and they have cheer
fully volunteered to put it through.
Next week is the time selected from
the 18th to the 23rd and the place will
be st. Johns parish house. Those
who have clothing that has been worn
and whose owners can spare it are
asked to take it to the parish house
and the Minute Women will receive
| it and see that it is properly shipped.
| During the past week Is of the Min
ute Women have been assisting the
Draft Boards, at the boards request,
and Mrs. FTeck has been the recipient
of several letters from the boards
thanking her for splendid service that
has been rendered The work of the
draft boards was falling behind for
the lack of competent help and the
women stepped into the breach to
bring the work UP to the minute. AL
most every day there is a call for the
members of this organization in some
form or another Don't forget the
Red Cross drive for clothing.
