French Hospitality.
(Fitchburg sentinel J

President and Mrs Wilson will not live
in republican simplicity during their stay
in Paris They will be the guests OF the
French government and nothing IS TO be
too good for them, Judging by the elabor-
ate preparations that are being made Tor
their visit The town mansion of Prince
and Princess Joachim Murat has been
placed at their disposal, and it is being
fitted up especially. as if what was good
enough for the prince and princess would
not be good enough for the president OF
the United States and his wife In its
present estate the Murat mansion, accord

House appear like plain dwelling, just

there IS grand salon, a ballroom, several
dining and breakfast rooms, private

high-ccilinged sleeping chambers, boudors.

and having on their walls priceless paint

spacious grounds and gardens, stretching
away for a block, all inclosed by a stone
wall At the rear of the mansion are
elaborate Conservatives III which are grow

RED CROSS CHANGES
MEMBERSHIP PLAN
Urgent Need of Funds and Immense
Bookkeeping Work Make Uni
form Explorations Advisable.

Editor of The Reformer
1t has come to the attention of the state
organization for the American Red Cross
Christmas roll call that the Red Cross Is
being criticized for making all member
ships begin with Jan. and end with
Dec 81 of each year. Heretofore 1t has
been customary 10 take memberships at
any time during the year During the
past year in most places there have been
two or three canvasses to boost the mem
bership and some whose wear does not
expire until next spring are asking why
they are being asked to renew now.
There are at least two good reasons.
The Red Cross needs money and needs it
now; and again the membership has be
come SO enormous, some - 100000 in the
United States, that bookkeeping must be
smplitied as much as possible Having
all memberships begin and end at fixed
dates helps the situation All who have
joined the Red Gross since Sept. l, last,
have been made members until Jan J.,
| 1920 All whose membership expires be-
tween Jan |, 1919, and Sept |, 1919, are
asked to disregard the small amount they
| have contributed to a good cause and re
new now. The need Is great and the call
urgent. When the real situation is undo
stood, very few viii object to contributing
the extra > or 80 cents represented by
their unexpired membership
Had there been no war and were there
no suffering in Europe, no doubt the Red
Cross would be willing to make its new
system Of bookkeeping begin with Jan. /
1920, instead Of Jan l. 1919. But there
has been a war. the greatest in history
and the call for service among the peoples
Of Europe is insistent and service must
be backed with money
Forget the uneXpmed membership ant
come across with the dollar Let Vermont
add to It's laurels of leadership by on,
hundred per cent membership in the Rec
Cross.

claimed Mr. Oak Caterpillar. "Tve
always heard, in my whole summer
life, that caterpillars and butterflies
were very interesting because they
changed from one thing into another.
They say there are many unfortu-

For example. I've heard that chill

they grew up. They grow, to be sure,
but they don't change into other crea-
