Mrs. Bryan Lathrop is anxious to promote this move- 
ment in Chicago. In regard to this a writer in the 
( “Tt is not going to be good form 
to make a display of food, clothes, jewels, or other pos- 
sessions while the war lasts. Neither is it going to be 
good form to hoard the money thus saved. We are e only, 
after two and a half years of war relief work on ile 
threshold of giving.” Apropos to this are the contents 
of a little pamphlet which gives a summary of our con- 
tributions to Europe. Of thirty- -one committees, not in- 
cluding Belgian ae Italian relief, the work has consisted 
in raising over $10,000,000. This great work together 
with the supplies for the wounded and needy has been 
looked after by some of the nation’s most prominent citi- 
zens. In the list are noted such people as Maj. Henry 
Higginson, George von L. Meyer, Mrs. Barrett Wendell, 
Mrs. Marshall Field, Mrs. Edward Stotesbury, Miss 
Anne Morgan, and others of local as well as national 
renown.
