M. A. service In F-urope and helped many a homesick boy to get a new grip on himself, has told of her experiences in a way that shows how well the mothering of our troops is being done. To the mothers of these boys she recently wrote as follows: i "Many, many dozens of times a lad has entered the hut looking dreary and sad. but after a cup of tea in my sitting room and an hour's talk is supplied In mangers of stone hardwood so placed that each horse can feed in its natural position.

Careful grooming an all-important element of successful treatment is systematically carried out. nd gentleness in the handling of sick and wounded horses is enjoined, with the result that the comfort of the animals treated is insured, whilst the best conditions for rapid recovery are also maintained. Adjoining the hospitals are spacious meadows and pastrue lands, enabling the 'convalescent horses to make rapid progress under ideal natural conditions. Zt is as inspiring a sight to watch these poor creatures galloping playfully round apaddock in the sunshine as it was painful to see them a week or ten days previously limping through the entrance woe-be-gone. decrepit, and out condition, their once glossy coats caked with mad and blood and disfigured and torn with usly wounds.

With Mr. Ramon Corpus, of P. and Miss Celia Muscanto, of Boston, Miss Warren vgave an interpretation of the Andante of the Mozart Pianoforte Trio in major, a classical work which was favorably received by a large and representative audience. She is a pupil of Lee M.

For in the days of the Revolution, although there was a food shortage at times, there was no gen-, eral feelings that bread and bullets "'we're of equal importance, nor did the great General and leader find it ne-; cessary to call for meatless fcd wheatless days. In fact, if contemporary accounts may be believed, 'the heroes dined sumptuously compared to the mode of patriotic folk now-a-days. A dinner givgp. by George Washington during the days of the Revolution is thus described by one of hi3 French guests: "The repast was in English fashion, composed of eight or tgn large dishes both of butchers' meat and chicken, accompanied by, i vegetables of different sorts, and fol- Mr and Mrg- stuart Dailey of Her-loTfed by a second course of pastries. ington are guests of their daughter Mrs.

need not describe the hut. but I wish you could sometimes see your boys in it In the evenings when the red curtains are drawn snd the red lamp shades all show up and the tables are lined with contented-locking lads drinking their hot tea and consuming plates of fried eggs, sausages, etc, while the piano is 'going at the far end of the hall to the ac-compainraent of the clicking of billiard and ping pong balls.

One might enumerate instances by the hundreds to show not only the necessity for women's work among our soldiers In France, but also the morale building effect of their presence. One finds it hard to close this article without mentioning a simple little incident of a busy day in camp to show what a camp mother means, especially to the younger bovs. One of these fellows had cut his hand and had come to the woman Y. IS. C.

A worker to have it bound up. After neatly giving her first aid attention, the motherly hearted woman said to the boy: "There, laddie, that's all right Isn't that as nice as your mother would do It?" Bnt the lad sheepishly said, "But moiner wouia nave kissed me. She did and the kiss had more than healing for a cut finger; it healed a mere boy's aching heart for mothering. THE BLUE CROSS FOR THE HORSES To the majority of people who are especially concerned about the comfort of dumb animals it is interesilng to know that there is a society called the Blue Cross which cares for wounded horses as the Red Cross does for men. The Red Cross magazine for February, contains an article by Chas.

Forward, who says that "the sufferings of horses In warfare have touched the public conscience to an increasing extent during ths past two decades." Mr. Forward, who has been chairman of the Blue Cross committee, further states: In August. 1914. the Blue Cross committee met and decided to issue an appeal on behalf of the horses In the war which had just commenced. They were fortunate in securing the sympathy and active help of Lady Smith-Dorrien, who accepted the presidency of the Fund and has since taken an active part In the work of the committee.

The quarters allotted to the Blue Cross by the French authorities have been adapted to the speciall requirements: and essential feature being the provision of ample light and air, thevalue of which can not be overestimated as curative agents. The floors are constructed with a view to facillitating cleanliness and hygiene and are plentifully covered with litter which Is renewed twice a day.

TRAINING LITTLE CHILDREN (XX) Suggestions by mothers who have been kindergartners. Issued by ihe United States Bureau of Education the National Kindergarten Association.

By Mrs. Prlneeem B. Trowbridge. A worsted ball makes an excellent playing for a little baby. If it is sus pended from his carriage or it will help him to learn to focus his eyes and he will be amused bv it I fora a long time.

When the child is a little older. let him sit on a quilt on the floor and play with several balls in the six primary colors. jed orange, yellow, green, blue and violit. Each baU should have a worsted string of the same color attached to it. When the child is a little older still, play simple liUlo games with him, such as rock-a-bye baby, pendulum of a clock swinging the ball back and forth and up and down and in other ways that will occur to evry mother.

Unconsciously the child will acquire a sense of form, color, motion and position by tnse games. Say to him, "See the pretty round balls." "See the pretty red paper. and the child will delight to find and bring to you other things that are round like a ball, and red like the paper. A set of worsted balls in the six primary colors can be obtained from the kindergarten supply houses Milton Bradley Springfield. or Steiger 49 Murray N.

Y. Clothes-pins make an excellent plaything for babies. They can used for babies or soldiers, or to make fences, trees, log houses, and many other interesting things. Playthings that can be taken apart and put together again are good to have; also blocks with which the child can build all kinds of objects engines that can push along the floor, balls to bounce and throw, doll carriages, washing sets, etc. Dolls with clothes that button, and unbutton and come off, may be used to teach the children how to dress and undress themselves.

Kindergarten heads are very useful and helpful. They are in the form of half-inch wooden balls, cubes and cyclinders in the six primary and secondary colors, and also in the natural wood. A shoe-lace is used for stringing thev. I would suggest, to begin with, that the child string balls only, and all in one color. After he had made a long string of these, ask if he would l'ke to use two colors.

He will probably string them in irregular order at first, and if so it will be necessary to suggest alternating the colors, putting on two of one color and one of anotherand so on. In this way, he will soon learn all the -colors, and numbers perhaps up to six or eight, and will know one form. Form is the most difficult subject for the little child to grasp and for this reason the different forms should be introduced last in these little lessons. What else is there with which little children's hands can be kept occupied? First of all sand. Just turn the children loose in a pile or table of sand, with a spoon, a pail, a cup, or anything with which they can dig or shovel.

I personally do not like to have sand in the house, but if you have a suitable place for it. it need not make any trouble. An old kitchen table turned upside down with the legs cut short and put on the other side, makes a good table for sand. A piece of burlap or denim placed under the table keeps the sand from being scattered over the house. With clay, a simple little cradle may be made.

The child first rolls a piece into a ball, cuts it in half, with a string. One of these halves forms the lower part of the -cradle. The other he cuts in two, using one piece for the top and remodeling the other into a "ball for baby." Birds nests with eggs can be made with clay; also apples, oranges, cups and saucers, and even animals may be attempted. Plasticine is the best kind of clay to use, as it is easily handled and is always ready. For-little children, before they are old to use scissors, tearing paper is an engaging occupation.

Tear a piece of old newspaper into an oblong shape. It may be any size, about two by four inches we will, say. By folding this in the middle, It will make a little tent. Again, fold in thirds, one piece turned up and one down, for a chair. Turn both ends down, for a table.

The child can tear paper Into trees, a ball, doll babies and many other simple shapes. When the child is old enough he can begin to use scissors, but he sure to provide a pair with blunt points that cannot possibly hurt him. These afford endless hours of amusement and profit. Have you found that "he cuts papers all over ihe floor?" Of course he does, but use this occasion to teach him neatness. Let him have his own little waste-basket, and he will delight in picking up the papers.

Have him cut pictures from eld magazines, and paste them into a book, made from manilla wrapping paper. To make the book, take any desired size of paper, fold several sheets in half, and sew them together along the crease. A pretty picture might be pasted on the front page, or the child could draw one on it. This will take many days work, but all the time he will be learning many lessons in patience, concerning, neat- np.au nd fteenrarv. will devel oping artistic talent If he is apt at' drawing.

If in his cutting, he comes to a picture that has a story. that has a story, tell i it to him. l-o r.ot criticise hi worit. as this mav discourse him. but see to it that he does the best he can.

Let the child draw with colored crayons or crayolas. Ton will be surprised at how so and how welL under proper guidance, he will be sble to use this means cf expressing A I.ETTrR TO THn BOTS' OWX MOTHER A motherly woman wbo has en A A Look Years Younger!

Mr.

Ptacek has two sons who are now at Camp Funston, and two small sons, Teddy and Lester, who owned the ponies. His fine patriotism and that of the litle chaps was the motive for giving these ponies to the Red Cross, and the Wichita chapter will share the proceeds their sale with Mr. Ptacek's home chapter, Emporia. The ponies will be at the booth, also the pig and the committee in charge is asking that any one who has an animal or anything which might be sold in the manner in which they expect to dispose of what is already in their possession, will kindly inform the chapter. So, if anyone or if several Wichitans are so situated and feel the patriotic impulse as these little Emporia boys, the chapter will appreciate greatly the big financial lift they feel sure will come from these gifts.

EASTERV STAR RED CROSS The members of the Eastern Star Red Cross auxiliary are asked to work at Red Cross headquarters every Monday and invite their friends and neighbors to go with them. There is also a request from this auxiliary that the knitters will come at 2:30 on Thursday, their regular day at Rorabaugh's, for work. The auxiliary works all day but these knitting will make that hour especially their's. The knitted worK must be turned in at the workroom by 3 o'clock every day so that the inspectors may finish by the usual hour of closing, 4:20. 3IILVAXE RED CROSS AUXILIARY In twelve afternoons with an average attendance of ten women there were 4175 pieces of gauze made ready for shipment.

WAS AN niPRECKXTED DAT The remarkable work of one woman made Monday a red letter day at Red Cross headquarters. It was entirely an origina' idea with Mrs. W. F. Cochran, one o' the faithful workers at headquarters as well as with the Eastern Star auxiliary, to call up 50 of her friends anc neighbors and ask them personally to work Monday in the city building for the Red Cross.

Each woman was also requested to bring a friend with her. and one remarkable feature was the fact that Mrs. Cochran had called 44 women before she had one refusal. As a result of this wonderful amount of patience exhibited by Mrs. Cochran there were over one hundred women working at headquarters through her efforts.

Another feature was that not more than eight or ten of this number had ever worked at headquarters before: in spite cf that they took hold with ability and enthusiasm and re glad of the opportunity to do their part. The one hundred did not stay all day, but there was one time when as many as 65 of Mrs. Cochran's number were there. In Mrs. Hunter's room they made 459 pad, over S00 compresses of one size and more than 250 of another, and would have made more but they ran out of gauze.

RED CROSS BOOTH AT STOCK Mrs. Will Stanley, chairman of the enterta'nment-finance committee of the Red Cross in their exhibit at the Stock and Horse Show, is busily planning all the details for their double booth which will be one of the attractive features next week at the Forum.

W.

C. A. It was their annual meeting, as well as their regular monthly meeting at which a dinner is always prt of the program. Officers for the coming year were elected. Mrs.

Allen's subject was "The Woman in the Present Crisis." "There is much that is spectacular now, and Dr. Shaw's admonition is well-timed," Mrs. Allen said further, but she laid stress in another part of her talk that this is no time for leisure; that these are times of work and there can be no good leisure women everyone "must think in terms of service." Mrs. Allen told of the Suffrage War Baby, the Women's Over Seas hospital. The national association furnishes the food for this ship which has developed into twins and crosses the ocean for the purpose of aiding sick and wounded women and children at the front.

The officers elected are: President, Miss Jessie Carrothers; vice president, Mrs. Bertha Means; treasurer. Miss Mabel Younkin; secretary. Miss Flora Hart. Miss Younkin was the only officer re-elected.

Miss Flora Parsons is the out-eoiner nresident nnrl re ceived a fine tribute for the splendid work she has done during tho year. The club showed their gratitude to Mrs. Allen for her presence with them by offering their services in any way jiost needed in the Liberty loan campaign. WICHITA'S PIONEER WORK IV NORTHERN FRANCE Perhaps no war-time activity more closely touches the heart than helping in the care of the refugee children in the war-torn countries children that have been hungry for months, that have been cold, that are caked with dirt, that are eaten with vermin, that are scarred, and maimed and orphaned. Is there a human being who would not help these pitiful little wretches? These little ones are the future hope of their countries, and they must be fed and clothed and educated.

8hat is what all the garments made and the money contributed in Wichita will help do, and no work compares in importance with that of rightly caring for children. Wichita was one of the very first cities in the United States to send clothing to refugee children, and this is an interesting story. Back-in the late fall of 1914. a number of the grade school children at Park school, a group of high school girls, ar.d a number of well known women became interested in making garments for the Belgian commission. A huge box of garments for men and women had been shipped, but this was work distinctively for children.

An especially fine box nearly three hundred beautifully made garments for babies and j-oung children. Including warm socks, bootees, underwear, chocheted cans, baby blankets, besides rnany other needs and comforts for younc children was shipped to New York. Mrs. Lindon Bates, chairman of Woman's Work in Belgium, wrote back, saying that Miss Anne Morgan had just returned from a tour of investigation in northern France, through the country recently occupied by German troops. Miss Morgan found -such appalling conditions there and such dire need for children's clothes for both the Belgian and French refugee children, that she asked that this beautiful box from Wichita be sent to this corner of devastated France.

Some consultation was had with the workers and word flew back to Mrs. Bates that this box had been sent to the commission to go where in thi-- judgment it would do the most good, And so these children contributed so lovingly by Wjchlta in the early spring of UU. were smor.g the first to help clothe both Pelgian and French refugee children in northern France. And Wichita is happy to have fcsd the privilege of being a pioneer in this poignant, humane reclamatation work RED CROSS NOTES.
