BESIDES the other numerous things that
havo been planned for this week thero
is to bo a Iiuro meeting at tho Metropoli
tan Opera Houso on Wednesday iilght,
wlion Doctor Wlso will upcal: for tho
benefit of tho women's Ited Cross Christ
maa campaign, nnd nil tho member of tho
Ited Cross who do actlvo work arc cnuagod
in ftninc tho houso that night und In eet
tlnc memberships from nil directions. It
docs soem marvelous that thero nro Hill
' in theso United Htntcs pertoni who havo
not yet Joined tho lied Cioss; und yet thero
are, and so many that It Is almost unbeliev
able. I've been thinking It over nnd won
dering why, und rotnctliltiR 1 heard ald
opened nn uvenuo ot thought na to why It
vvntf. This person was under tho Impression
that to Join tho association meant jou had
' to work for it, nnd no nho Is u cry busy
woman nnd qulto unablo to rive; any tlmo
to making surgical drctslnga and liandngeM
und so forth, sho thought film ought not
to Join, fortunately, tho perton to whom
sho spoko knew ull ubout It and set her
straight, and tho lied Cross had gained
another member.
IWONDKtt If wo women think nf what
wo may ull ho doing by next Christmas?
You know It'tt :i tlmu when ono must think
about theso things. I heard Captain La
tham spcuk recently ut ono of the numer
ous meetings ono Is iilwiivH going to theso
days. Ho wan telling about tho women
of England. Well, of course, conditions
her aro not yet aa they uro In England;
and In fact, as Captain Latham said, tho
United States would havo had to rulbo an
rirmy of 17,000,000 men beforo things hero
would bo on tho samj piano us In England
and plcaso God they won't havo to and
then ho told us about tho women In his
family.
Ho was M simple about It, taking It aa
a matter of courtc. and yet his heart must
ache pretty hard whin ho thlnka of them.
Tor they wero women who had neer had
to do nny kind of dlfllcult or hard work
and who had novcr had to bo on '.lino for
anything unless they specially wanted to
bo. Captain Latham said thero. wero two
men In his family, himself nnd hla brother,
and tho brother H In tho trciiohca now;
und thero aro llvn women his mother,
who Is a matron of u hoc pltiil; hl,wiro and
Ida brother's wife, who hold positloua In
banks; hla tister, who la in a munition
factory, and hla llttlo sister of seventfen,
who lu driving u, taMcib ubout London.
And that la not ull. UN wlfn haa n llttlo
baby ot ten months, and sho haa to tako
raro of It as well aa attend to her work in
the bank. Thero uro no nurtis to bo had
for lovo or money ovir there.
Tjilnk of It! And better still, think of tho
ulrong spirit back of those frail nnd eitll
rato women; tho spirit that makes them
strong to bear und do In tho placo of tho
men who havo had to go to tho front. And
let us preparo ourselves In Mlrlt for what
may como, that wc, too, will show tho samo
spirit of Bjerltlco for tho lovo of God and
country If wo aro called upon to do like
wise. With tho llut&lan truco and tha
freeing of hundreds of thousands of Teuton
prisoners who will surely bo brought In
lime to tho western front It's not a very
tunny outlook, U UT
YOUNG Lieutenant F.obert AValter Starr,
Jr., who is tho son of Dr. and Mrs. 11.
Walter Starr, of this city, la "over thero"
working in ono of tho bdsu hospitals. Ho
writes that tho work Is simply wonderful,
but eight houra a duy do not seem ade
quate when thero nro so many to be at.
tended to. And it's simply pathetic to sea
how grateful tho men aro for tho profes
sional attention given them.
Lieutenant Sturr graduated from tho Do
Lanccy School in 1910 and from thero went
to tho Mcdico-Chl Collego ot Dental Sur
gery. After receiving lili diploma he waa
Instructor thero and at tho l'hlladolphla
Dental College. He received hla commis
sion in June.
Dcsplto tho cold und rainy weather und
heavy fogs. Lieutenant Starr says In u let
ter to his parents, "our men aro doing
noblo work and uro cagor for ro-enforcc-ments
from home. Too much cannot ba
'aid of tho wonderful work tho Y. M. C. A.
is doing for thom." And later: "Tho food
in good, chicken every third -Sunday and
'the promlso of turkey and trimmings for
Thanksgiving and Christmas." So It goes,
and tho letter arrives hero after tho
Thanksgiving which ho is so t pleasantly
anticipating.
They say thero is wonderful work belnjj
done by tho dental surgeons over there, but
I imaglno thero Is less of it than tho other
urgical things; so that is probably why ho
speaks ot eight hours, for most of tho
doctors havo not mentioned any set tlmo
for work;
DID you know that tho Hob Cuys havo
a dear llttlo daughter? Sho was born
a week ugo and will bo named Mary Froth
Ingham, after Elizabeth's mother. Mrs.
Clay, you remember, was Elizabeth Hob
erts, a twin sister of Dorothy Roberts, who
is now Mrs. Logan Bullitt, Jr. Bob Clay
received his commission as captain at Ni
agara and Ik now stationed at Fort Sill, in
Oklahoma, so ho has not seen tho llttlo new
"daughter yet. They havo ono other child.
'a, llttlo boy ot two years.
