Patriotic Young Lady Leave. For Her Virginia Home.

Miss Elizabeth DeFrees, who for some considerable time has been the guest of Mrs. Ora T. Ross, left Thursday forenoon for her home at Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. During her stay here Miss DeFrees has given to the woman’s work of this city a great amount of service. She has assisted Miss Milliken in her work connected with the Red Cross and also the preparation of surgical dressings, and has been of invaluable -service to this important work in this city. On account of the constant work Miss DeFrees was doing it was reported that she was receiving some pay but this is not correct as she wanted to do her part and was glad of the opportunity to serve. She certainly deserves the greatest thanks, not only for the work she did but also for the splendid spirit she displayed.
