ing,'' was paper read by Mrs. L. D.
Brown. "The British army without the
l cooperation of their women could not
have held up their. end of the struggle.
Women are working in every factory In
England, where duchess and maid work
| work side by side. The women Of Lit
tie Falls are not awake to the real rea-
son why every woman should do her
al.''
! Mrs. r. L. Cochrane read paper on
"What the Women Of France are Do
ing.'' 1.-THE women Of France, like
the soldier of France, has great physi-
Cal endurance and are working for one
cause, thrift. The women are the cor
nerstones of economic structure of
France.'
A paper on "What the Women of
Italy are Doing New" was read by
Miss Eliza Batter of Royalton. "The

This is the first time in the history OF
Italy that women have worked at ma
chinery.
Mrs. George Peterson gave paper on
