1t takes a woman Of a particular type to
preside over bureau of this kind. In the
first place she must know her New York from
the furthermost point in The Bronx to the
most remote church in Brooklyn. She must be
able to tell the inquirer the shortest route to
any point.
Furthermore, she must be we'll versed in
the location of service clubs and their terms
to men in the service; in the amusements at
the theatres; in the clothiers and haberdash-
ers' Shops and so on--n short she must be
not only a Baedeker of New York, but a

''Not at ALL" was the reply II shall call up

give up their house and grounds for this one
Sunday to the marines. Any one of them will
be only too glad to do it. Our motor corps
will see to their transportation, and if the

our canteen can. So that is as good as set

But Pm going to tell you one thing-the way

told him.
By this time we had reached the club which
was our destination. 1t is the newest of the
service clubs, opened only short time ago
by the National League for Womens Service
at the corner of Madison Avenue and Thirty
ninth Street.
At the top of the brownstone steps stood
Miss Whine, the director of the club sml-

have my mother, who is working on the Aid
for Homeless French and Belgian Children
write to France and get the names of four
little French and three little Belgian children
and will each play that we have adopted
of them, and when our birthdays come we
will give the child who has the birthday the
things the poor little French child will need
and we will make the presents into a parcel
and tie it up at the party and send it to the
child all ourselves"

cried mademoiselle, who entered into the plan
with all her French enthusiasm
All the mothers of the children approved
heartily and offered all sorts of helpful sug-

mother easily obtained the names of seven
French and Belgian children whose ages near
~ corresponded to those of the seven children
who lived safely in their big gardens in
Goshen.
On Aans birthday, which came on June 81,
the children could hardly wait for 3 o'clock in
the afternoon to come around. Everybody
knows that that is the hour at which every
properly conducted birthday party begins At
the very moment that the shadow on the big
dial in the middle of Alans fathers od-fash-
Toned garden marked the hour of 8, the six
hilarious guests trooped through the gate and
up through the fower-bordered walk and
knocked impatienty with the ancient knocker
Alans front door,
There was no difference between this party
and every other nice birthday party one has
ever attended. There was the same cav
marquee tent and the same ice cream and
cookies in the shapes of hearts and trees and
houses and little men; only after the maids
had cleared the table did the difference appear.

Behind the opening sat motherly woman
