Things the Red Cross Did.
You took the mother of Nine. Pei.

ed for anaemia. You took the little
girl, who was in the first stages Of
tuberculosis, to Red Cross sani-
tarium. You found place which
could be made habitable for Nine. Pei

anxious to till. You gave her clothes
and furniture; you got her seeds; you
lent her implements. You sent Wis.

and that of her little boy. You sent
nurses, who achieved the mighty vic
tory of making her and the child take
baths. Later you persuaded her to let
him go to refuge not far away where
he might attend school and where she
could often visit him. Through the
help Of your Red Cross hope and cour-
age and ambition have come back to

This is the picture saw last Janu-
ary In France,-and you have merci-
fully changed it! Color enough there
was-above, the eternal blue; in the
background, fields Of living green,
which the German shells could not
prevent from creeping back; in the
middle foreground, a long village
street so battered and burned that
it was merely canyon Of cream-col-
ored ruins In front Of one little
broken house were four figures in
black-an old woman, poking among
the fallen stones in vain search for
something that could be used; a
younger woman, seated on what had
once been a doorstep, with her face
hidden In her arms; and little boy
and girl, who stared, half frightened,
half curious, at the desolation about
them. The little boy held in his thin
hand Red Cross flag. All four were
pale and gaunt; the faces and bodies
Of the children showed none Of the
round curves that make the beauty of
q child.
This is their history: When the
war broke out, Nine. Pellier, her
mother and her four younger children
were visiting her husbands mother in
the north Of France. Her husband
and two elder sons were at home in
Lorraine taking care of the summer
crops. Then the war! The mother
in-law of Nine. Pellier was i'll and
could not be left. Her old mother
was afraid to travel to Lorraine with
the full care of the four children. Be-
fore they could all start together the
Germans invaded. Bad news is allow
ed to come into northern France, and
so as the months passed Nine. Pellier
learned that her village home had been
bombarded and that her husband and
two sons had been killed. Except for
the Belgian Relief Commission, which
operates in northern France also, she
and her little ones would have starved
outright. At the best they were un-
dernourished. Then the great push
began, and hopes for France grew
high. But as the French soldiers ad-
vanced they had to lombard the north
ern towns. Nine. Pellier begged the
Germans to let her 60 away with her
children-even into Germany. This
was refused. She tried to seek safety
in some cellar whenever there was a
bombardment. Nevertheless q shell
killed two of her children.
Found Her Home Gone.
Home gone; husband gone; brave
soldier sons gone; little, tender boys
torn into shreds! That woman's face
would have shown you what she had
suffered-her face against the batter
ed ruins the Germans had made. At
last she and her mother and her two
remaining children were repatriated.
They knew the infinite relief Of cross
