ST. MARY'S DRIVE REACHES 40.954

One of the valued contributions, outside of money, was a valuable col- lection of souvenirs of the old church of 75 years ago. These were given with one of the contributions Tues day and included picture of Father Fitton, the priest who said the first mass at the church 75 years ago, a picture of Father Durnphrey, the first boy of the parish to be ordained a priest a sash worn at the first ser vice and picture of one of the five women who assisted at the first ser vice.
 Father Keefe finds that the senti- ment of making the church a memor- ial to the pioneers of the parish is making a strong appeal as indicated by many of the letters he receives with contributions. The Boston ar chitect has assured Father Keefe that he will devote special effort to mak- ing the memorial features of the new church especially attractive so that families. who arrange for memorials win be amply satisfied. Such plan for memorials in the church follows out the example of the Church of St. Anne de Beaupre at Quebec, old St. Peters in New York and St. Agnes in New York. The new St. Mary's will follow out the best memorial features in the metropolitan churches with some new plans that will make 1.-the church notable for it's memorials

EXHIBITS WORK DONE BY AcApMEY JUNIOR. RED CROSS

At Slater Ha1l Annex on Wednes- day afternoon from to 5, an inter- esting exhibition was shown of the work done by the Academy Junior Red Cross. Since October last, sixty girls working once week have fn- ished twelve layettes. each composed of twenty four separate articles.
 The material for these litIe gar- ments was furnished entirely by the Atlantic Division of the Red Cross, and the girls brought to their weekly sewing bees an interest and skill of workmanship, which was very ad- mirable,. especially as all the sewing is done by hand, by no means an easy task, when one considers the multi tudinous hems and seams to be made. In addition to the weekly sewing, some girls have knitted charming, little worsted caps, while others, who could not give their full time, made twelve sundry bags, filled with neces- sites, such as soap, wash cloths, ab- sorbent cotton, etc. to go with each outfit
 All the classes have. worked faith fully, most of them giving extra time, and nine girls have been present at l every session The sewing has been done under the supervision of regu- lar Red Cross workers, as follows: Mrs. Archibald Torrance, Mrs. Rus sell B. Olds (formerly Miss Dorothy Jones', Miss Mary Gilbert osgood. Miss Ethel Morgan, Miss Mary E.. Richards; Mrs. Wainwright Sample and Miss Della Leavens.
 Wednesdays exhibition was in gen. eral charge of Mrs. John McWiliiams and the Junior Red Cross committee Tea was served by the girls of the sewing classes, Miss Mary E. Rich l ards being general chairman of the
 arrangements. Assisted by the juniors
 who passed refreshments, Miss Ma l tilda Butts and Miss Helen Marshall l poured tea at a very dainti1y ap- pointed table, most attractive with its
 decorations of tulips and lighted can dies.
 An interesting feature of the occa sion was the exhibition of several life l seized baby dolls completely dressed 1 in sample layetteS, to -deInonstratt tt l the prettiness, as well as the useful 1 ness of the outfits. On the walls were
 pinned dozens of dainty garments
 made of pink and pale blue outing ; flannel, each accompanied by the re. quisite number of socks and under. clothes, everything that any infan might require. and pretty enough tt I gladden. the heart of any mother These layettes are all to be sen overseas to Belgium, Italy or France from these young school friends il Ameri~S
