MISS LEMER HOME
FROM WAR ZONE
Tells of Woman's Valor, Self
Sacrifice, Confidence, and
Great Love of Country
Miss .May Ltmer. daughter of Mr. i
;ind Mrs. Lerue Lemer, arrived at her
home, 213 South Front street, last
evening after a two years' absence in
France. With her was Miss Fayette
"'able, of Chicago, a personal friend,
who has been with her for manvj
months.
Miss Lemer, who. soon after her
graduation from Wellesle.v College,
opened the School for American Girls
in Paris with two other Wellesle.v
graduates, sold out her interests »in
1»14 and came home for a little vaca
tion. She returned to France in 1914
lust before war was declared and has
been away ever since.
Miss J,emcr owns a country prop
erty in Normandy, near Verangeville,
tour miles from Dieppe, the important
shipping port which the Germans had
vowed to capture on their way to
Pari*, which the/ haven't reached yet.
Here al! is peace and quiet and only j
I'cople who own their homes are per
mitted to stay: even guests are for- j
bidden, for fear of spies, and strangers '
tic passed on at once. Of course the j
md men of the country are all away and
. 'he women have taken up t heir " work !
■is far as possible, farming and run- i
ning the machinery of the towns.
Many of them, too, are in the war, in
hospitals as nurses, and assisting in
various ways. All the churches have
been turned into hospitals and con
valescent soldiers are seen on everv i
hand.
The women correspond with sol- i
liiers, some of whom have not heard '
rom their own families since enlist-'
itig: they send them supplies, neces- '
saries, nooks and comforts.
Much that they have seen, the pass- I
Jug of troops, etc.. Miss Lemer and i
Miss Cable are unable to speak about, i
tor they are in honor bound not to
do so. They went to Vienna at one j
time to visit Miss Cable's sister, who is
tlie wife of an Austrian army officer.'
Here there was danger of the food !
supplies giving out, and so bread was j
apportioned to individuals, three hard. !
black pieces being, one's share a day. j
In contrast to this, at Verangeville.'
iliere is full and plenty. The people !
eel safe and while the American Mag j
'lies over Miss Lemer's chateau thev j
know this government is protecting
t hem.
llarrisburg friends of Miss Lemer j
sent large boxes of supplies to the'
American Hospital in Paris, at her ;
solicitation, last year. They reached
there safely and were much appre- 'i
dated.
Miss Turner says there is no feeling'
of depression among the women, who
are calm, confident and courageous
io a superhuman degree. Those who
iave lost property, husbands, sons and
other relatives accept their lot feeling ;
hat nothing is too much for them to
give for the life of their beloved
country.
Near Verangeville are schools re- I
moved from other districts and the,
women are especially interested in ;
these children. One hundred girls'
from 6 to 12 years old were recently j
brought from the village of Thann, iii<
Alsace, with an interpreter, for none I
of them could speak French. They i
bad no clothing but what was on their
backs, and they were a poor, fright- !
ened. forlorn lot. They took posses- I
sion of an old hotel and now the nuns'
are teaching them just as though there
was no war. Two hundred boys from :
Vpres have also been brought in with j
their teachers, nuns who were turned
from their burned convents and
s'-hools. sometimes sleeping in cellars
and undergoing worse privations.

i These boys are like a lot of wild In- j
! dians. Miss Lemer says, and they need
i clothing and comforts. Pencils, books,
; tablets and the like, useful in lessons,
are supplied by kind friends.
It is difficult to go about the country |
; unless one is well known, but when
Miss and Miss Cable decided j
| to come to America for a visit they
I; had little trouble in making their ar
rangements. They sailed from Bor
! deaux. France. February 2fi on the
French liner Chicago and sailed dark
all the way. Indeed, they didn't know
i just the time of sailing, but boarded
the boat and awaited the starting. All
the portholes were darkened and no
fog horn was sounded during the voy
, age. They were careful to keep out of
I danger and the passengers were told
nothing by the ship's officers. If they
1 passed a boat, no mention was made
of the fact, and silence surrounded
every movement. The boat was over
due in New York, but nothing eventful
occurred on the voyage.
Miss Lemer and Miss Cable will visit
their relatives in America for a time
and then hope to return to France, j
j their adopted country, and their peace
ful home there in the mountains.

Annual Sale of Housefurnishings
And China
March 15th to 19th
Presents the prime of the market at savings that command the attention of every housewife. The March Sale of Housefurnishings and
China; or rather the idea, is just one year old. The first of its kind last March proved so popular that it was decided at once to make it an
annual affair. .1
There's a Story of Three Months' Effort
Embodied in the Items Named
Like our several other big. annual events, this sale has been in the making for the past thirteen weeks. The markets were combed for
the best that was to be had —where a saving might be made. Now the great collection is placed before you in a sale of four days' duration.
