cLOu6H u 40 III Taking care OIL. our
own. Perhaps we have e1fugh to do,
but what about those children who
will be going cold for the lack Of a
warm suite or dress or a cape? Don't
YOU think it will be worth while to
give up M of those little motor trips
during the afternoon, or some other
little pleasure. and know right down
deep in your heart that you are doing
someone's baby a real service? Per-
haps you have babies Of your own to
sew for. If you have you will re-
alize o than W. what it would
mean to some poor mother without
a home, and no way Of sewing for her
children, whom h loves Just as much
as you do yours. And If you haven't
the responsibility of home and chill
dren there is all the more reason
why you should devote part of your
time to making garments for these
refugees. M

the time to Ego over the top or dig
a trench or drive a transport truck
at a. very critical moment because they
wanted to go to the lake for a few
days. or they were going for an auto
mobile ride? Maybe some one would
be making garments for your chill
dren some day,-that is if there wa
anyone left to do things like that.

a trip, or a week off to go to the
lake, what right have we to do it

so than they surely. :

pajamas, several hundred winter suits
for boys n several hundred pima
fores. This means that every woman
who can possibly make one of these
garments must do so. Make a SOL
emn pledge right this minute that to-
morrow you will go down to Red
Cross headuaqrters and get material
Of at least n garment and take it
home with you. And then max
Don't forget that. And while you are
sewing you make an estimate of Just
how many you can do during the
months of July and August.
