go INADVERTENTLY Laurel had a
Spreat deal to do with the subtle
,bsnco that had taken place in Wi
nona. Tho note that she received from
Uinona n few days after that young
roman's departure from the Cedars was
. revelation. Laurel read 1t in the
,o,arium and marveled--and envied in
,pite Of herself.
"I don't know what has come over
MAJ the note ran. "I must have alb
sorbed some of your optimism when l
was at The Cedars, but Ted insists
that marry him Immediately and after
all. what Is the use of waiting?"
Laurel let the loose pages with The
Chronicle in plain black type across
The top Of each fall to her lap, while
,bo unused. winona and Ted were going
to be married. Winoua made fifty dol
,srs n week on the Chronicle, and Ted
made seventy five. They could have a
,nlendid apartment with their joint
salaries. and what lot OF fun they
would have planning 1t and buying
tbings. She looked around her own
snlcndid home with its expensive
cbiutzcs and its furniture bought for
svery comfort and regardless Of ex-
nense. There was an emptiness about 1t
that chilled her heart. 1t wasn't home.
And Winopa after all would have the
very best in life, everything that goes
to make up happiness.
When Laurel told Granville that she

Of the snob about him. He had no OBJ
lection to Laurel's friendship for
Winona; IN fact, he rather liked WI
nons,s Independence. It was that very
anality that he had admired in Laurel.
It was the birthright OF the working
woman.
It was lust after dinner and Gran
villa was smoking O cigar in the library.
Laurel in q soft white dress sat just
without the circle cast by one Of the
huge lamps. Flecks Of light caught at
her dress and made silver patterns on 1t.
She was vaguely lovely and mysterious.

First Day of School of
. After War Charity
CHILDREN
GET NOURISHMENT

William Ewes. superintendent Of
t9e Friends First Day School Of this
.2ity, who left here in February with
a party OF Friends TO DO relief work
IN Germany has written an interest
ing letter TO the students at the First
-O0y school here. This Netter was
read at the school on sunday and is
as follows:
My Dsar Young and Old Friends OF
: the First Day School:
when / wrote last TO Herbert Way
i thought 10 would be my last Op-
pOrtunity Of sending a message to you
oefore the closing OF First Day
School for the summer. Now the
mails have improved so much that
/ think this letter should reach you
-lbout picnic TIM. Many letters get
10 me from America in less than
three weeks. the record being i3 days
our work OF feeding these small
friends Of ours is going along very
rapidly. We arc now feeding hun
drads OF thousands. nearly 100000 in
Berlin alone and we have not nearly
reached our goal / am giving you
definite figures because you get them
very promptly by cable every week.
But what l want 20 do is TO tall you
something about the way in which
we do it
"All Of the food is sent directly
from America TO Hamburg on large
merchant ships. Large cargOes are
arriving continually because 70 takes
2i tons OF food every day 10 feed
each 100000 children one meal We
hope TO be feeding 10000 every day
very soon and yiu can quickly count
that that means about i26 tons afford
every day. IL consists OF lard, cocoa.
sugar, sweetened and un.Weetened
CONDENSED milk, flour, rice, peas and
beans. This food is stored in large
1 warehouses in Hamburg and shipped
by us TO each OF the many cities
where we are feeding the children
aud mothers. A German railway car
1 holds about 40 tons so that it takes
30 90 10 carloads a day and sOmo-
times they send as many as 30 IN
!, one day. The German government
/ pays all Of the freight.
when it arrives in various cities
il is unlOadCd into more warehouses
carefully weighed and piled and then
a report is sent TO Hamburg, telling
/ how much was received so we car
keep a sharp watch on II.
"Onoa a week, men come with
wagons or automobiles from eact
4 kitchen TO receive enough food f0l
that liiEhen for one week. This
4 man must sign a receipt for the fOoc
and he takes another receipt will
4 him which must be slgIfad by th'
4 lady in charge OF the kitchen. Thes,
4 receipts we send 10 you in America
4 TO show that the food was delivered
. to the kitchen.
Each kitchen has several larE
kettles built In bricks Some are
i heated by steam and some by wooC

can get. These kettles hold from 40
10 1000 quarts. Each child receive
about half q quart. Everything b

week they have rolls mada BY the
bakers and give these good white
rolls TO the children. many Of whom
never tasted White bread before he
cause TINY were born Just az the start
OF the war and Germany had dark
bread all during the war.
"The cooked food is sent from The
kitchens In large insulated cans, so
that the food keeps very warm. An
actual test showed that the tempera-
ture dropped but degrees in 8 hours
and even then 10 was too hot 90 eat
Sometimes. one kitchen cooks but for
one feeding place, sometimes for two
or three, but many times the food Is
sent TO eight or ten feeding places
from one kitchen. In Leipsig we have
one kitchen that cooks the food for
