The sunrise never failed us yet. 
The blush of dawn may yet restore

Sad soul, take comfort, nor forget

Miss Anne Morgan, chairman of the Vacation War 
Relief Committee, is making a plea for bright colored 
knitted caps for the soldiers. The members are trying to 
obtain 1,000 caps and all are busy knitting. Socks and 
riufflers have long been knitted by the workers, until now 
there are more mufflers than necks and a scarcity of caps. 
Bright reds, yellows, greens and blues are desired for the 
soldiers upon leaving the hospitals. ‘The men convales-— 
cing from wounds received at the front cannot stand 
gray and other sombre colors,” said Miss Morgan, “they 
want bright, cheery things about them. In most of the 
hospitals even the blankets are all bright colored. I hope 
the women who have so steadily aided by knitting socks 
and mufflers will now turn their attention and efforts to 
the caps.” 
Mrs. N. was giving instructions to her new servant:

utore soup?” “Yes, please.” “There isn’ttany slengeam

is determined for us, and it makes the mind very free 
when we give up wishing and only think of bearing what 
i‘ laid upon us and doing what is given us to do.—George
