CLOTHING FOR POOR IN EUROPE

Send all articles of clothing for re-
lief of Belgium sufferers to Mrs. /.
M. Moore or phone any boy scout.
1t is useless to send garment
which is not made of the strongest
and most durable materials, 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 upwards of hum
dred thousand women in Belgium and
northern France who will do anything
for little work, and who were mobii-
lied and trained into a marvelously
efficient organization for the making
of new clothes-while there were still
raw materials-or the repairing, rip
ping up and remaking of old cloth
ing.
AS to bedding: In the north OF
France sacks stuffed with dry leaves
serve as mattresses; everywhere the
need for blankets is tremendous; hos
pitals and other institutions suffer
for want of sheets. Do not forget
that in some places whole families
sleep together to share single blan.
ket.

Whereas, in this great world war in

velopment and protection of Christian
faith and good morals; and,
Whereas, our beloved pastor, Rev.

ROOTLICKING PLUTOCRATS
AT PALM BEACH

Our good friend, the Palm Beach
POST devotes its society columns at
this season of the year to the doings
of the wealthy folks who frequent the
ROYAL Poinciana, the Breakers and
the Casino. The column is good read
ing for humber folks by reason of the
perspective of the Posts society re-
porter. For instance we find in a re-
cent issue:
ga charming young woman who by
her most attractive blonde beauty has
elected much admiring comment dur
ing her stay of several weeks at the
Royal Poinciana is Miss Alice A. Del
amar, daughter of Capt. John R. Del
amar, New York. 1t would seem that
the gods have outdone themselves in
the allotment of gifts to Miss Della
mar, as in addition to her exquisite
youthful beauty she is one of the
greatest heiresses in this country, her
father having amassed great for
tune in connection with his extensive
mining activities in this country and
in Canada"

tune of Miss Delamar, and wonder If
there are any other stray places in
which mines could be opened up. But
the Posts society reporter insists that
we learn about Mrs. Theodore G.
Marceau.
sMrs. Marceau," says the Post,
"who instead of being daughter of
Neptune, yesterday devoted the great
er part of her morning to golf, was
on the Casino veranda with friends,
and later at the Breakers at the
cocktail hour looking as bewitching
as ever in a very pale blue frock and
a hat of the same tint with touches OF
black. Mrs Marceau is now taking
lessons in golf for which sport she
displays great aptitude and much af-
fection, and it is probable that before
long she will be worthy opponent tc
her clever and genial husband"
Ready sympathy goes out to Mrs
Marceau, who is learning golf. Al
long as her lessons continue she ad
mittedly has a right to be present a
all the Cocktail hours" and we hops
she learns the game well enough tt
beat her husband. But there is still
another paragraph which we reprin
for the style hint it contains for thos'
of our readers who may take VI
bicycling.
"Mrs. Pierre Lorillard Barley wa
one of the earliest arrivals at tn
, beach yesterday morning, riding u
! from her cottage on her wheel, mos
| attractively gowned in a transparent
summery-looking white organdie wit

We hope that Palm Beach's winte
guests will make long season of
t this year and that the Posts societ

j interesting folks on her beat.-Tam
