and the tubercular patients of France. will
talk to the workers at the independence
Square Auxiliary of the American Red
Cross, at sos Chestnut street. next Mon
day at 81 O'Clock. / am SO glad these talks
have not been discontinued for the sum-
mer as yet. OF course. it would not be
possible to get speakers all through the
summer but the rooms will remain open
and there will be many workers through
the hot season.
For don't our men need our work just

cold? They have to fight and strain and
suffer whether it's hot as fire or cold
.as ice.
So the auxiliaries in most places will
remain open, and every one who can will
work through the summer as well as the
rest ofsthe year.

and started forth. When they got to the
~church-they had had no rehearsal, you
