l1T1HERE are names which bear with

 G sociations They are spoken, and jnnmedately to the mind are presented visions of beauty, sympathy, heipfulness. or whatever characteristics they have come to represent of those persons to whom they belong. There are those who come bearing gifts," yet they are not feared. because the offerings with which their hands are filled are understanding, Kindness and service.
 Such a name is that of Miss Lima Denny, who has recently returned from G stay of eight months in Poland, where she has been in the service of the Ameri- can Red Cross Association. Hers also ssre the hands which do good deeds.
 Miss Denny has done splendid work in Birmingham for a number of years, where she has held positions of respon- sfbiiify as president of the Trained N7srrses' Association, as nurse in the pub nc schools and during the war as a nurse mt the Anniston cantonment. She has st all times met the requirements of the places she filled so completely, with such hneness and nobility of character, that she has won for herself hundreds of sEaxrn friends who will be interested in hEr experiences while in Europe.
