I 1? One of the Most Complete ?s- y tablishments of Its Kind in ? France, With Jolly Playrooms * and Toys to Amuse Patients, J Vi Up In the mountains, where th? g) ssow falls early and lies deep, 30 mile* & from Lyons, is the little French Tillage cl of Les Halles?a story book village, f with Its massive stoue church standing B sentinel over two long rows of trim, 1? blue-gray plaster cottages. And a mile farther on is the Chateau des Halles, ' where your Red Cross has established c< a home for 200 sick children. Manginl built the chateau. Man- T ^ roll. ^ ?1111 was uic Luau nuv uum uiv ttui- ^ road along the Riviera and many oth- ^ $r railroads In France. And thirty ^ odd years ago be built this castle up in the mountains for his country home. ' But soon after his two children died. Then he died, and when his widow followed him she left the chateau to the city of Lyons to be used as a hospital for children. * ? ti The War's Wreckage. ^ Then came the war. A little rivulet L of the war's wreckage began to trickle n in at Evian?"repatries," elderly men T and women, children, even babies, who d fiad once lived in the parts of France engulfed by the German tides and tr whom the C4ermans. finding them use- tJ less, were beginning to ship back into France by way of Switzerland. Grad- li ually this rivulet swelled. Soon 1,000 aj of these nnforturiates Wert arriving s< at Bvian daily. And fully half of o them were children,, undernourished, ? thinly clad, dirty, sickly and, worse, grim, spiritless, with faces that bad forgotten bow to smile. To dare for these children was the task your Red Cross at once assumed. Working with the . French authorities, the Red Cross secured permission to make use of the old and almost forgotten Cbauteau deft Halles dp there in the mountains. For years the castl? had been closed. No effort bad ever been made to fit it up as a hospital. Tour Red Cross had to begin at the eft beginning. Rooms Big and Jolly. ?ut what a wonderful task it has accomplished! The Chateau des Halles, transformed into a children's uubpiiai uuu iwi uume iu iuriuus haste under thp terrible pressure of war needs, with little time to think tfrloe and no time to retrieve errors, is not only one of the most complete establishments of Its kind; it Is one of the best children's hospitals in all France. The two rooms where the arriving children are isolated for a few days are big, Jolly rooms?Just what Is need to efface from the little i ones' minds the memories of those iron j days behind the German lines. The [ big play room is strewn with rocking horses and wonderful smile-enticing parrots and other toys carved by the wounded poiltte. And so you stray from room to room, and everywhere you find new evidences of this watchful care. And ^ then you reach the bathrooms. This Ahatoo n ma a KnUf Kv ? nf nroalth I UMIMU TTUO UUlll WJ ?

That is how your Red Gross thinks and cares for France's children. 1 ^ HER WEIGHT IN GOLD. * c An Aviator's Letter Tells What a Red v Cross Nurse Is Worth. a "As for the American Red Cross 6 ?well, I could never In a thou* w sand years express my appreciation and admiration of those u American women. I worship them. I guess all the fellows do. The a first day I came into camp?and my morale was right low; I'll tell B you about it some time?well, I went fnto the American Red Cross, 11 and there, standing behind a nice v clean counter, was a little round v faced Red Crossie. She was Just 8 beaming on every one. Imagine I P I never came as near making a v fool of myself In my life. I felt 11 like throwing my arms around her a and weeping for Joy. As it was, I managed to salt up my chocolate P ! a bit?only a drop or two that I e couldn't help rolling off my cheek. b "If 1 ever paint an angel it will ^ look Juet exactly like that little tl Red Crossie. They would be tl worth their weight in gold if they c did nothing but Just be here." - "civ ** v.'-' ; ' ' . ' I************ .ETTER IN THE MORNING MAIL " low Mrs. Lane Finally Realized!

The j ime condition applied also to her i iiildrea's shoes. The shoes now cost i r, whereas they formerly had cost $4. ut this was merely a detail. A simiir phenomenon occurred as to beef:eaks, potatoes, butter, fish and the f other varieties of domestic essenals. All had gone up; none had )me down. About the only thing stale in Mrs. Lane's cosmos was Mr. ane's yearly Income. This was $7,000 year. Already Mrs. Lane had given p ooe maid. The war literally was at er door. True, Mrs. Lane had no son, o brother?no tin of any kind?in the ar, but the war still was at her door. Hard to Make Ends Meet Give money for the war? What do ou think she was doing, anyway? he was giving every cent she had, ying to make both ends meet In her ousehold. It hurt, though. Mrs. j ane was a kindly, warm hearted wolan, and she would have liked to give, he war was dreadful! It was so readful she'd stopped reading about it But one must read letters. One tust do that when a friend takes the ouble to write them. Thfe letter came in the morning mail Irs. Lane read it, then she read it gain. Afterward she sat there ab- i )rbed, silent, rigid. The color had crept i at of her face, and her breath came swiftly from between her parted lips. "I have just come back from the canteen," it read. "Such an after noon I A traMoad of serioufly wounded to be fed at once, which is trying, as one has to climb into all the carriage*, one after the othr er.

' I managed to get half a pint of milk and a beaten egg and some brandy down the throat of a boy of twenty who had no mouth left, and J had to clean it between every mouthful. He had had no food fpr fifteen hours and was Jo thirsty that he was nearly insane. I held his head against me, and I gagged all the time, but I just kept thinking, 'Suppose it was my boy who needed a drink and thert was no one to give it to him.'

"Mother," she aid fretfully, "I can't go to dancing chool again in brown gloves when all tie other girls have white ones." The lalnt reminded Mrs. Lane that Lawence at boarding school had written hat morning about his socks. He had nly two pairs of silk ones left. "And, lother," said Olivia, continuing? But rhat Olivia said Mrs. Lane didn't hear, he had dropped her head on the table nd unaccountably was weeping. "Just uppose it was my boy?mine!" ohe . as sobbing. "Why, mother!" ejaculated Olivia. She hurried toward her mother. What is it, mother? You're acting Just s though Lawrence had gone to war I" Mrs. Lane looked ""up, the tears treating down her face. "That's just what is the matter with ie! I should be acting as if Lawrence rere there. And so should you! If Viilie were like these, the boys there," he pointed to the letter that had sliped from her lap to the floor?"if he rere, like them,- in need, dying, wantig eggs, milk, brandy, to keep him liv, would you be buying white loves? And would we think what other eople wear or how they live or whethr we had only one servant now? If my oy was over there, if my son were?" But other women's sons are over here. Krs.
