OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

Wellesley college girls are cultivating their war gardens after school hours on the college farm. Fifteen thousand Philadelphia women and girls helped in the War Savings Stamp drive. The canteens and rest stations along the lines of communication in the war zone of France are being operated by American women. Salvation army lassies cook and distribute the toothsome doughnuts to Americans on the French' front. Twenty-seven new visiting nurses have been placed on the staff of Philadelphia’s bureau of health for the duration of the summer. English women have established a chain of lunch wagons not far from the battle line, from which they serve hot coffee to the soldiers returning from the Flanders front.
