BUSINESS GIRLS IF PHOENIX ADOPT WEE
 FRENCH MAR ORPHAN

The Business Girls club of Phoenix has adopted a French war orphan and are contributing to her support. The fist quarterly payment has already becn sent to the little girl, Renee Grim aud, whose father, a tailor was killed on the field of battle, fighting in defense Of his country and his family.
 The arrangements were made and the remittanceS are handled through the Fatherless Children of France, In corporated, Il West 46th street, New York City.
 While $37 per pear would not go far toward the support of a child in this country it accomplishes wonders in the hands of the French mothers, who are striving, by the aid of small funds from this country, to keep their children together and give them proper care and training.
 The girls of the Business Girls club of Phoenix, however, are not going to be satisfied with contributing this sum to the support of little four-y -year-old Renee, they want to mother" her. so far as this is possible across an in tervening continent and ocean. They plan to get the little girls measure ments and make her an outfit of cloth ing, send her cards, letters, and pres ents, and do anything else they can to help her grow up to be a useful, edu- cated, and contented citizen of the land for which her father made the supreme sacrifice.
 In a letter from A. J. Hemphill, the New York treasurer, to Miss Frances c. Rogers, chairman of the committed of the business girls who are looking after the little French orphan, the girls are informed that it is a matter o1 some difficulty to send parcels tC ! France for their protege at present but that the regulations will probably be re- 1 faxed soon.
 1 Meantime they are anxiously await
 ing a photograph of little Renee. anC other information that will enable then
 to make further plans for her.

the old standards and the old ratings,
The wonder to me Is that they all do

Yet 1t seems inevitable. In another
war not so long ago a victorious sailor
man came back to us to be hailed with
wild welcome and showered with hon
ors, only to find that by a sudden gust
OF public opinion his popularity, pricked
like a bubble, vanished In a night.
We want to be very sure, though
that the standards and ratings we be-

~unfounded.
