Washington Bureau Of The Bee,

.TTT ASHINGTON society is quite
wv as busy pursuing its war
work, as it is dining, teaing
and receiving. The efforts of the
industrious women, who have sewed
for the soldiers and for the war VIC
Tins. since we went to war, have
only slightly relaxed. A great many
of the Red Cross auxiliaries are
holding their regular meetings, and
are shipping away boxes Of gar
ments for the needy, as well as SUR
gical dressing and hospital outfits
for the sick and wounded. Hundreds
of boxes of clothing are being sent
out every week from Washington,
to France and Belgium, to Serbia
and Poland, and wherever clothing
is needed. All the little bands Of
society women, organized at the be-
ginning of hostilities. are continu-
ing, for the need is great during the
winter. A great number of the
society girls, fashionable debutantes
of last year and the few years before,
who have been doing volunteer nurs-
ing in the terrible influenza epi-
demic, are just beginning to get
home, or get off to some mountain
or seaside resort for complete rest
and recreation. Many Of them have
had amusing and interesting expert
ences and are far better for the ex-
perience.
One of the most prominent young
women in official society now tells
the story Of how she was assigned
to a certain legation in the city
where the head OF the staff and his
wife were both off in a hospital with
the dread disease, and the butler.
then his wife, who was maid to the
mistress, both came down with it.
She was sent to nurse the butler and
the maid. thew little dreaming that

Wilson, wife of our distinguished

that had been seen--actually seem
once or twice in Washington before
the presidential party sailed.
London papers make no mention
of the fact that his highness, royal
raiments had been worn on previous
occasions, although we suspect they
may have been glimpsed from afar.
Mrs. Wilson's "old" gowns are
causing whispered comments in
Europe and these comments creep
through the press lines in various
ways.
One London paper prints the fol-
lowing:
when the wife Of the president
Of the United States was presented
to King George at court she wore
gown Washington already had seen.

A Prayer in Time of Peace
b. JULIE M. LIPPMANN

Remembering how our tortured hearts
Turned unto Thee in time of war,
For help to bear its blistering smarts
Its fears, its tears, its shifting score,
Dear Lord our God, let us not cease
To pray to Thee in time of peace.
Give to the eyes that wept and wept
A clearer vision for their tears
Grant to the hearts of all passion-swept,
A manlier courage for their fears.
Let feet that through the depths have trod
Learn to walk humbly with Thee, God.
Out of the fouIness let us bring
Clean hands that hold life's standard high
Souls that will brook no bargaining
With greed or lust deceit or lie,
Ears deafened by wars murderous din
Make Thou to hear the Voice within.
Let US forbear to strut and boast
Because of triumphs we have won,
Remembering the valiant host
That died or ever we'd begun.
@ Lord, protect us from the shame
of thinking we are free from blame.
Let the great hour that now has struck
Wake great echo in our breasts,
Let us, each one, with joyful pluck
Turn to the task that with him rests.
Lord, may it not have dawned in vain,
This day Of peace Thou didst ordain.
