INTERESTING TALK AT RED CROSS MEETING Auxiliary No. 7 Met on Tuesday at Home of President in Gcrmantown Tho regular monthly meeting of tho board of dliectors of tho Women's Army nnd Navy Belief Society of Gcrmantown was held on Tuesday afternoon nt the homo nf Mrs. Francis Hovvaid Williams, president nt the organization, Maduine GIroud gave nn In foimnl and intensely Interesting Talk on the babies and women of Franc", and of tho conditions over there at tho present time after three years of war. When wo hear of tho trrlble almost unbelievable suffering which these people ns a nation are enduring and realize that had It not been for their courage and lu.-icry our country would no doubt be In a similar condition. It does seem as If the least we could do would lie to deny ourt-elvcs in every way possible and glvo as much of our tlmo and ninnej at vvc can afford to help this poor, stricken people. Madame GIroud. who has flvo sons of her own In tho war. Is devoting her entire tlmo to tlio splendid work which It being carried on my tho French War Relief, and tells In her earnest, direct way of tho frightful hor rors ihat aro being perpetiatrd over there every minute of tho time. She says that. In tho first place, everything Is so expensive that only the rich people can nfford to buy what would ono time have been considered common necessities. These things havo since become luxuries. For Instance, one cako of soap Is fort-nlne cents, Therefore, It Is utterly Imposslblo for tho poor people, espe cially those In tho Invaded towns, to wash their clothes, nnd many of the children aro given baths at tho expenso of tho Govern ment. For this icason tho different war re liefs aro using gray mnrerlal Instead ot white to make clothing for both the. women nnd children. Madame GIroud lnspeited one of the beau tiful little layettes which had been com pleted by the Women's Army and Xavy Re lief and. while she agreed that the contents weio perfect hi every detail, sho suggested and t"ie Idea was adopted that tho next ones bn made of dark-gray outing flannel. This seemed n shame. n far as beauty was concerned, for tho llttlo plnk-knltted caps, with pink ribbons, whito frocks, etc., looked to sweet and dainty, nnd gray seems such a somber shade for a llttlo baby's outfit; but, of course, they will ho much more service able and practical under the circumstances. A layetto comprises nlneten articles, und they aro needed more now than over before, ns there aro thousands and thousands of llttlo orphaned babies to be cared for. Tho school children all wear black aprons mado of satlne, usually, because they write In Ink entirely in I'rance having no pencils as we do In America. Both the women nnd children prefer dark clothing on uceount of the dearth nnd expense of soap nnd lack ot washing facilities. A sewing bag, with soap, comb, hairpins, black and whlto cot ton, darning cotton, needles, thimbles, scis sors, etc., Is to bo added to tho list of ar ticles comptlsing a layette, as tho women have absolutely no materials with which to mend their clothing. Besides this the Army and Navy Relief is going to make outfits for children between tho ages of fourteen and sixteen, who suffer a great deal from cold and lack of proper clothing, as most of the garments are made for women or ery small children and babies. Annual Benefit Card Party Given on Monday at Bellevue The annual card party and reception for the benefit of the Church of St, Francis de Sales was, given at the Bellevue-Slratford on Monday evening. Fortunately, the date of tha affair was not affected by tho new fuel regulations, as the Bellevue has decided to cancel its Tuesday engagements Just aa the theatres aro doing. Tho entertainment was In every way a great success, and fully equaled the high standard set by each of tho preceding affairs, Tho floor of tho ballroom was covered by tables for eucher, white Ave hundred was played In tho arjolnlng Clover Room, and those who preferred bridge were seated at tables arranged on the balcony. There weifl many handsome prizes, and the door prize, which consisted of n C0 Liberty Bond, was won by Miss Haxpacker. Monslgnor Michael Crano and the Rev, John Mellon were?
