Serving the French Women.
Most of the work of the Red
Cross women is with the refugees
and civilian hospitals and children's
work The Y. w. c. A., while it
has some huts for American women
workers, is dcvoting itself to the
French working women, mostly in
the munition plants. In this they
have fine full cooperation from
French women. Their work is en-
tirely without sectarian bias. They
maintain huts, more attractive than
those run by the Y M. G. A., and
full of opportunities for recreation,
diversion, entertainment and educa-
ton. An extensive educational
work is carried out among these
French girls, who are keen to emu
late their American sisters. Res
taurants are also run successfully
for French working women.
In all this varied service, it is
manifest that the ideals of the
French are being affected by the

was one who is well past so years
of age, and who not only serves the
boys in a variety of ways, but has
also been the means of introducing
them into fine French families in
the city where she is stationed.
1t is a mistake to assume that the
need in France is only for young
women; the immediate call is for a
few hundred of mature years, who
will be willing to bake for the boys,
as well as serve them in other ways
in the more than 500 Y. M. c. A.

capital but there is real service to
be done here. AS in the army, many
women do their bit within the serv-
ice of supplies.
In Paris | have seen Red Cross
and Y. NJ. c. A. workers doing beau
tiful service for the French rcfu-
gees, in flight from the German
drive. The line cooperation of the
various agencies of American relief
is a qualification to observers who
know that they all represent one
common impulse of patriotism and
humanitarian. Friction among re-
lief agencies in France would never
be tolerated by the American pub
| lie. Indeed, there is a feeling that
some of the smaller enterprises
might profitably be merged into the
few better known and representa-
tive larger bodies.
Hallelujah Lassies Under Fire.
Soldiers have an especially soft
spot in their hearts for the Saliva
ton Army lassies, who maintain
nearly score of huts over here,
most of them up in the zone of fire.
Nobody knows quite how the Sal
vation Army happens to be here,
for no official provision was made
for it; but it just naturally moved
over here from the British front,
where it had been doing good serv
ice. Everybody is glad it is here,
for the Salvation Army has been
successful in an uncommon degree
in stating its huts with women gift
ed in the art cf getting along con-
genlally with the soldiers and min
istering to them. Their relatively
few huts have made a deep impress
sion upon the army, One charac-
teristic of the hallelujah lassies is
their ability to make pies and
doughnuts. The organ of the
American Army, "The Stars and
Stripes" printed this poem about
the smiling Salvationist who la
bors SO far forward that she has
to wear a tin hat:
Home is where the heart it,
Thus the poet sang
But "home is where the pie is"

THE IRISH CONVENTION.

Since August, 1917, all Irish
convention composed of various
elements of opinion, shading from
Sim Fem to deep Orange has
been meeting and discussing the
warm topic OF Irish government {;
and, apparently, with good tenn
per and moderation all around.
The convention, which has now
practically concluded its labors,
may have produced no results
although it remains to be seen.
But it did 50 far testify to Irish
capacity for *self-government in
that it did not break up in row,
as some pessemists predicted.
George Russell (known as A.
E., Sim Fem leader and a
delegate to the convention, felt
obliged to resign from it's deliber-
ations Il few weeks ago. In doing
SO he wrote very notable letter
from which we subjoin this para
graph:
And mere [ come to the pur-
pose Of my letter, which is to dep
recate the scornful reputation by
Irishmen of other Irishmen which
is so common at present, and
which helps perpetuate our fueds.
We are all one people. We are
closer to each other in character
than we are to any other race.
The necessary preliminary to po-
litical adjustment is moral adjust
ment, forgiveness and mutual I'M
derstanding.

others of my countrymen for sew
eral months. and | noticedwhat
All obstacle it was to an agree
ment, how few, how very few,
there were who had been on terms
of friendly intimacy with men of
all parties. There was hardly one
who could have given an impa".
tial account of his opponents. Ou;'
political differences have brought
about social isolations, and there
can be no understanding where
there is no eagerness to meet
those who differ from us. and hear
the best they have to say fol-,
themselves.

Recently some things have come
to light concerning conditions in
The high prices of coal and gro
ceries and the cash-and-carry
system has worked unusual hard
ships in homes where the head OF
the family has only day labor to
depend upon for enough to sup
ply them with the necessities of
life. A description has been Civ
en- of one of these homes by one
whose duty it is to inquire about
absent school children. Going in
to the home this school committee
found a frail looking mother hold
ing a delicate babe in her arms
while close beside her huddleu
near a small cook stove were sew
eral small children all cold and
hungry looking. The father on a
most unsanitary couch was sleep.

Inquiries brought the informa-
ton that this man had had no
work and consequently no money,
with which to buy fuel and gro
eeries, shoes and other necessities.
Other homes We're found to be
in similar circ,,mstances-onc in
particular where several small
children are to be found told of
not having. had any milk for a
month or six weeks and were liv-

must be admitted that, it is cheap

A Kind Heavenly Father.

God is kind Father. He sets us
all in the place where he wishes us to
be employed; and that employment is
truly "our Fathers business" He
chooses work for every creature, which
will be delightful to them, if they do
1t simply and humbly. He gives US
always strength enough, and sense
enough, for what he wants us to do;
II We either tire ourselves or puzzle
ourselves, it is our own fault. And we
may always be sure, whatever we are
doing. that we cannot be pleasing him
II we are not happy ourselves.-John
