Since Mrs. Warburton sent out an appeal for theso Just hundreds and hundreds of packages and boxes of all sorts and descriptions hao been pouring In. I Just wish J on could all boo tho room where they havo put all these things. Why, It's simply piled up to tho celling with coats, dresses, mufflers, shoes and alt sorts of wonderful warm things which tho Halifax pcoplo arc going to get. Thero aro two man clous whlto fur coats In tho collection which wero glcn by two sisters, who said "they didn't wear 'cm" much and they wanted somo ono to havo them who could get somo uso out of them. It must havo taken qulto a bit of courage, though, to say good by to thoso coats, for when ou liao anything good looking you know how jou like to hang on to it. Thoy tell mo tho relief box Is going to bo sent right away; that is, tho first ono at least. It Is splendid to see how generously and right on tho minute, too, every ono lias responded tt tho call to aid theso suf fering people. But when you think of alt 'they aro going through and how moro than, ' freezing it must bo up there well, cven.it wo do hao to wait several days before tho coal man brings our coal, wo ought'not to complain. Isn't that to? HAVE you heard that John McCormack has given himself, his volco and his accompanying artists to tho Red Cros3 for a number of concerts? Well, ho has, and ho sang this week In Washington. Next Thursday night ho Is going to sing hero at tho Metropolitan Opera House, which has also been given for the occasion frco of charge. In fact, thero will ba no expenses . whatever, no collection und no war tax on tlto tickets, for all every slnglo cent nald for tho tickets' will bo turned over to tho lied Cross.

That committee ought to make things hum, don't jou think? MRS. SPENCER K. MUL1 OKI), whoso son, Billy Mulford, by tho way, Is "ocr thero" and they aro getting let ters from him, has -been telling mo of uonio interesting work along a different line which tho United Servlco League is doing. Ecry Thursday lately they hao tent cut Invitations to mothers of enlisted men, through tho various wards of tho city, asking them to como thero and liao an afternoon together, where they may meet each other and talk over their various ex periences. Tho Idea Is taking very well, but tome of the foreign mothers, who do not speak Unglish or very llttlo of It, If any aro apt to bo disappointed at first, until they un derstand just what it's all about. Recently a number of Italians from ono section of the city camo In answer to the Invitation, and many of them thought In their bewilderment, not understanding tho Invitations, that they were to meet their sons perhaps, or at any rate would have . direct news of them. Po6r souls! It was pathetic, Mrs Mul ford said, they wero so disappointed not to see them. Several had brought tho whole family of smaller children with them, but tho women In chargo of tho afternoon made them feel so at homo that they soon began to enjoy themselves and want to go again. "lYhjLLi, perhaps somo day bomo mothers will learn a lesson not to bay Just.what they think beforo their small offspring, and also to be careful of the words in which they couch their thoughts when they do (.peak. Thero is a very pretty matron of this town, the mother of two darling kid dles, who has the reputation of, saying Just "exactly what she thinks." All very well, but not when there aro two Intelli gent babies living In the same house. A lady called there recently and had to wait a long time before the hostess made her appearance. Suddenly Into the room came the two cherubs, dressed In their very best, With sashes and curls and perky bows. "Are you going to a party, my dears7" asked the caller. "No, I don't think bo," said Margts. 'We're going to the devil!" "What!" exclaimed the lady In horror, and Just as "mother" caino to the open door she heard her eldest hopeful remark: ''When mother got your card she said she Wished you would go to tho devil, and we asked if we might not go, and alio said no, to hush, but we begged and she said, Oh, yes, if you get dressed first'; so here we are all ready, are you?'!. Think of tt! She had at first hushed them and then, not pajlng attention to what the little lambs were begging for, slio laid they might If they got dressed. NANCY WYNNE.
