AV1 the members of the Ocean City Host

mittee had some funds left over, ana SO
they presented a service flag to Mr.. NC
Kenty's Mission. 1t is a beautiful nag
with fifteen blue stars, five gold ones and
three silver ones. Then they are also
giving to a Hostess House in Cape May,

tanned at dinner.
r HEAR the Deas Snklers baby, who Is
two and a half years old and q perfect
darling, is i'll with fever, and so the mouse
Is quarantined and the children are not
permitted to go to school, Fortunately II

n had been quite sick, but who insisted
on getting up to go down and talk 10 the

ances for the men crippled in the war, and
Tho Red Cross has asked him to go around
in America TO tell of the things than can De

men Of this war.
AND we had a great meeting at the aux
"A iliary. There seems to be more neeo
than ever in the way of clothes ana COM
forts for the people lover there" and the
national headquarters has sent out letters
to the branches and auXiliaries all over
tho country asking that the work so noply
storted several wears ago be kept up. TO
be sure the work is different now, as 1t IS
raoorstruction and no longer bandages and
surgical dressings. The workers are
making the cunningest little oresseS "''N
trousers you ever saw.
