PEETSBURGH women are devoting much time toward 
the advancement of the National Preparedness move- 
ment. The Pittsburgh Bulletin of last Friday remarks that 
“although for the most part sewing classes are forming 
the principal diversion during the Lenten seasons, there 
are many other classes that are claiming the attention of 
the fashionable Pittsburghers. | National Preparedness. 
for instance, has grown to be a subject of the utmost im- 
portance in society and the manner in which Pittsburgh 
women are devoting their time toward its advancement 
is worthy of the strongest commendation. The Pitts- 
burgh Chapter of the Pennsylvania Women’s Division for 
National Preparedness started a new department at a 
meeting on Tuesday in the home of Mrs. W. Harry 
Brown, chairman. The work will be to render financial 
aid to young men who wish to obtain military training 
at the camp in Plattsburg, N. Y., or on navy cruises. 
Carfare, uniforms, etc., will be provided in cases where 
the young men are unable to buy them.”

NEW YORK’S Fourth International Flower Show open-_ 
ed at the Grand Central Palace Wednesday and will 
run a week. The profits for the first day will be shared 
by the Vacation War Relief Committee, the American 
Fund for French Wounded and the local Red Cross. 
Miss Anne Morgan is on the committee interested in the 
organizations. Young society women acted as waitresses 
on the first day. Carrying out the idea that birds and 
flowers must go together the display of bird shelters is of 
unusual interest. “Have your bird house match your 
home” is the slogan, and for the bungalow the bird house 
is itself a tiny bungalow, while for the other homes the 
houses range from a miniature Colonial mansion to the 
rude shelter constructed from the stems of trees for the 
old country farm-house. The new style bird houses are 
se arranged that they can be cleaned from time to time 
and some of them are also provided with bath tubs. One 
cannot help but think what a wonderful exhibit it would 
make if the ingenious boys and girls of the North Shore 
should get busy this summer and construct a miniature 
model-of the various homes along the Shore!
