A Visit To The Red Cross Rooms.

Mr.. HalneS:-
Your correspondent recently made a
visit to the quarters of the Red
Cross" located at Charles Town. After
reading such list of articles made by
them to be sent to our soldiers In
France, in "The Spirit of Jefferson" OF
last ewek, we thought we would step
in and see for ourselves just how
these things were accomplished. The
'sBusy Bees" were hard at work that
afternoon. There were four sewing
machines in service-two of the White
sewing machines placed there by Mr.
P. o. Dunaway for their use. The
| ladies of the Red Cross are doing an
excellent work in Charles Town and
certainly deserve a great deal of cred
it. Miss Brady, of st. Hilda's Hall,
has charge of teaching and instructlng
class in the making of surgical
dressings, &C., the lessons are given
free of charge.) To any desiring to
learn the art of knitting-an lmpor-
tant accomplishment at present.we
understand lessons will be given free
of charge.
We have also been told that some OF
the young men have been knitting
sweaters and afghan blocks, and then
work bears as close inspection as the
ladies. Miss Katherine Riddle is
chairman of the Jefferson County
Chapter of the A. R. c.
