BOOK SFOR THE BLIND.

The first book in English printed in raised or embossed letters for the use of the blind was issued at Edin- burgh 92 years ago today, March 10, 1927, by James Gait. The first att tempt to provide literature for the sightless was made in 17s6 by Hauy at Paris, who invented a system for printing raised letters. Hauy used the 1llyrian or Slavonic alphabet in the few brief works he published, and his project ended in failure. Gait, the Scotchman, vastly improved the system, using a modified Roman let ter, and confining himself to lower case in preference to capitals. In 1884 Gait issued the Gospel of St. John, the first book of the Bible ever printed for the blind. The work was taken up in America by Dr. Howe, the husband of Julia Ward Howe, then in charge of Perkins Institute in Boston, who printed the entire New Testament in 1S36. Dr. Howe issued the entire Bible in raised characters in 1S43, and a similar work was is sued in Glasgow a few years later. The first magazine for the blind was established in England in 1855 by Rev. W. Taylor, who devoted 40 years sight1ess. A circulating library for the blind was founded in 1882 at the Perkins Institution in Boston, and li- braries of this kind have since been establish ed in nearly all large cities.

MRS. BAKER
 ON RED CROSS

Bridgeport workers dn the Red Cross are invited to turn out en masse on Thursday afternoon of this week to hear an address by one of the ex- ecutives of the Atlantic Division, in which Bridgeport Is tan important chapter. The speaker Is to be Mrs. NJ. F. Baker, superintendent of hos pital and refugee garments for the division, and the meeting will be held in the ballroom of The Stra2f3eld Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
 "A million garments a month from now to June 1,'' has been adopted as the slogan of the Atlantic Division. and Mrs. Baker, under whose direct supervision the work is to be doner will explain the "how, what and 7Thy'' of the big task that lies ahead.
 Since the armistice there has been somewhat of a let-up in the work at the Red Cross workrooms in the Seas side Institute. This is a mistake as the demands upon the American Red Cross still continue to be of an overwhelming nature, and must be met.
 It is ft:ured that if tho work from now on is put through with the proper push, there may be a respite in tf @ matter of hospitals and refugee gar- ments after June 1. Mrs. Baker will explain the reason for the slogan "A million garments a month" and will give interesting details as to how the work is to be done and what the gar rnentS are to be used for.

CHILDREN ENJOY
 ANNUAL BAZAAR

The little children of Fannie A. Smiths Froebel Normal school had a most enjoyable time on Saturday afternoon when they gathered there to witness the marvellous tricks of Gerry TreadweI. He kept them in an ecstacy of unbounded joy when the pretty red, white and blue marbles appeared and disappeared in rapid succession in his hands, and he per formed tricks with an egg a hand kerchief and blocks. But perhaps the most entertaining feature of his mys- terfous performance, when he even succeeded in holding the attention of the grown-ups was when he produced yards and yards of streamers of col ored paper from a plain newspa per. .ribboned paper together, he com menced to withdraw boxes of candy, were then added to the other articles for sale at the bazaar.
 The rooms were prettily decorated with posters made by the children and with streamers of colored paper. There were several booths at the fair where fortune-telling prevailed, can- dies and many other goodies sold. There was a very large attendance of is reported by Miss Smith to have been very successful in the matter Of funds.

T know. You shrink from 1t all. You dread the steps that will free you. You need me beside you to help you. Let's cut the knot. Tonight !"
 "Not tonight Maybe tomorrow" whispered Gerty, and then she man. aged few tears and he was allowed to kiss her. It was all arranged before he left the ramada. They were to leave together the next day. Her ob- ject would be accomplished by their leaving together. He would feel that he owed her his name.
 Of course Gerty must do 1t in the conventional wayl She would have used rope ladders had they been needed. The conventional note was pinned to her bureau scarf.
 Innes was with Tom when he found 1t. They came in together from the river. Neither had noticed the odd looks from the men as they passed through the encampment. A dozen men had seen Hardin's wife leave for the North with Godfrey.
 Gerty's letter told Tom that 1t was all over. She had tried to stand it, to be true even through his cruelty, but a feeling stronger than she was made her true to herself, and so true at last to himl
 Innes' revulsion lacked speech. The common platter sickened her. She could offer no comfort. His eyes told her it was worse than death.
 He struck off her hand when 1t touched his shoulder. Gerty's hand had coerced him that way. He was done with softness.
 His silence oppressed her. This wns a man she did not know; inarticulate, snitteu. She told herself that even a sister was an intruder-but she was afraid to leave him alone. She took q station by her own tent door. She would not go down to dinner. For hours she watched his tent. When it grew dark she could no longer endure it. She found him where she had left him.
 She forced herself toward the vol canos edge; and the swift eruption scorched her. It was the pitiable wreck of dignity, of pride. His words were incoherent; his wrath involved his sis ter, crouchipg in tears. Innes shrank from him, the man she did not know. The coarse streak was uncovered in all its responsiveness. He turned on Iunes suddenly. She was crying, huddled heap on the couch.
 i've had enough crying-between you and Gerty. Will you get out? I've got to have some sleep.'
 Through her sobs he could make out that she was afraid to leave him.
 'Well, then, I'll go. I'm used to hav- ing to leave my own tent. A dogs life" He flung out into the night.

CHAPTER xXxV.
A Corner of His Heart.

The second evening after the closure Rickard was dining with the Mar shalls in their car. The Palmyra was to pull out the next day. Hardin's name was brought up by Tod Mar shall. "She was light potatoes" he dismissed the woman. "But she's broken the mans spirit"
 Rickard, it was discovered, had nothing to say on the subject of the elopement.
 "Tm sorry his sister is not here to- night" began Marshall mischievously.
 q did ask her, Tod" Claudia has tened to interrupt her lord. But she would not leave her brother her last evening""
 . FHer last evening"" exclaimed Rick ard. 'Is she going away?"
 Marshall subdued his twinkle. "We are carrying her off. She is to visit Mrs. Marshall while I am on the road"
 Rickard gulped down his coffee, boiling. Mrs. Marshall, will you let me run away early?" Why should he give any excuse? They knew what he was running away for
 He made his way to the little white tent on the far side of the trapezium. Innes, by the door, was bidding good by to Sonora Maldonado.
 He forgot to greet the Mexican. She stood waiting; her eyes full of him. Surely, the kind senor had something to say to her? He had taken the white girls hand. He was staring into the white girls eyes. Something came to her, a memory like forgotten music. Silently, she slipped away into the night
 Rickard would not release Innes' hand; her eyes could not meet the look in his.
 "Come out and have q walk with mel You were not going to tell me you were going. You were running away from meT' You know that love youI I have been waiting. for this minute, this woman. all these lonely years" Her head she kept turned from him. He could not see the little maternal smile that ran around the curves of her mouth. Those years, filled to the brim with stern work, had not been lonely. Lonely moments he had had, that was all.
 "Nothing for mel" He stopped, and made her face him, by taking both oi her hands in his. She would not look at him yet, l would not meet the look which always

RUMMACE SALE FOR SMITH UNIT
 HUGE SUCCESS

With an overwhelming success, the Smith College club closed its Saturday rummage sale when over $500 was realized. The amount surpassed all previous records and the members are very enthusiastic over the result. The club needed only s75 for the maintenance of the Smith scholar ship, so the remainder of the money will go to the workmen in the devas- tated country of France
 Enjoying the experience of sales women and the interest afforded by the cooperation of the many buyers, the members of the club really had 8 good time The store on Stratford avenue was generously donated by Charles Berger and the articles on sale comprised everything in the line of apparel, also books and other household articles. The Smith college women proved expert saleswomen and the store was the attraction on Saturday.
 On the committee of the sale were Miss Elizabeth Wright, chairman: Miss Honora Mulvihill, Mrs. William Bull, Miss Mabel Morrison and Miss Sally Wilmot. Other able assistants were Miss Mildred Foster, Miss Ruth Everett, Miss Rachel Axtel, Miss Mary Black, Mss Marjorie Smith, Miss Marion Wright, Mrs. Keller Briggs and George Dennis.
 Each Smith club throughout the country has 8. certain amount which it has pledged to raise to maintain the Relief unit in France. The Bridge port unit has already had one big success when Major Ian Hay Beth spoke at the High school and the members meet each week at the home of the president, Miss Wilmot, where the time is spent sewing on refugee garment for the people in the French regions. Supper ds served in the evening at the meetings and the pros ceeds also go to the unt engaged in the oversea work.
