I: Two little stories came to the Red

bravery that brought the tears, and
one tale Of tears that brought smileA
The first story was Of soldier who
asked for light. He was in bed, and
q cigarette was between his lips, plac-
ed there by the nurse after she had
finished spreading his blanket Up
smoothly. At his question, she turned
and gave him box of matches and
hurried on, then remembered that the
arms beneath the blankets were with
out hands,
Nurses have to be without tears, but
there were tears in her eyes - she
turned to strike the match and light
the cigarette for him.
"Quit that" he said, "they were good
mits, and they helped get three or four
Germans before lost them, but they
'ain't worth crying about, 20 there!"
/, And the tears story that brought
smiles7 Well, that was the story of q
big. husky, colored man, who sat read
ling, and the Red Cross worker at the
canteen saw that he had tears running
down his cheeks. She was curious to
know what he might be reading and
was astonished when she looked over
his shoulder to see that it was the
cantecn cook book.
He smiled through his tears as no
saw that she was watching, and said,
.sheepishly, "You sure must excuse me.

These are the most interesting fea.

pitfalls arranged by the American Red
Cross in France in cooperation with
the commanding officers Of our fighting
forces in that country. Details Of the
plan to make Christmas as merry 40
possible for the soldiers in these instt-
tutions have just been received at Red
Cross headquarters. Nurses and enlist
cd men on duty at these places will
also share in the distribution Of Christ
mas cheer. Because Of the limited
amount Of available shipping space
the Red Cross was compelled to aban-
don its original plan to send special
Christmas parcels from here to soldier
patients in France. All the articles
distributed will be obtained over there.
This is to be an old fashioned cele-
bration in every sense of the word.
Every soldier will hang his socks on
the tree. The socks will be tied with
red ribbon and In addition to the good
les mentioned above will contain a
handkerchief and card, on which
will be outlined the services the Amer
ican Red Cross is prepared to render
our soldiers. Each soldier will re-
ceive a sufficient number Of Christmas
postcards-now being designed by art
lists In the Red Cross service-to en-
able him to write to members Of his
family and his friends back home.
The Christmas dinner, Of course, will
be one Of the features Of the celebra-
tion. After dinner there will be
musical entertainment, motion pic
lures and general singing.
