"A" Club Adopts a War Orphan
The young ladies who comprise the
"a" club are nothing if not patriotic,
and during these strenuous war times
have laid aside all frivolities and dis
banded as far as mere pleasure is
concerned. But they are still band
of happy-hearted, generous girls who
long to do their part toward making
the world happier, better place in
which to live, and this disposition to
service they have put to very prac-
teal test by adopting for their very
own dear little girl in that far away
land of sorrow, who is so needing
just the love and care that their gen
erous hearts will have the pleasure
of outpouring upon her. We know if
this sad-hearted little one bereft of
father and mother could take peep
over here in our own beloved Amer
lea and see just who her godmothers
are, their affectionate regard would
be more than reciprocated. All honor
to the "a" club.
