Branch of Bundles for Bluejackets ls Organized Here by Bundles for Britain
“THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION of Bundles for Britain has been mobilized for aid to the United States.” The announcenrent came from a loudspeaker. The voice was that of Mrs. Natalie Wales Latham, president of the organization, coming via long distance telephone from the
group’s headquarters in New York. She was speaking to the executives and leaders of sewing and knitting units of the local branch as they lunched yesterday in the Columbia Club. “For weeks,” she said, “I have been planning to be in Indianapolis today to confer with your branch, but the dreadful and tragic events of yesterday make it necessary for me to remain here The United States is now at war. That means our fighting men must face the flames of battle. To help them we are sponsoring Bundles for Bluejackets.” It remained for her representative, Mrs. A. Russell Atwater, also of New York, who has been here since Friday, to fill in the background on Mrs. Latham’s announcement. “Now there will be Bundles for Bluejackets—our own blueAT well as Bundles for Britain,” Mrs. Atwater said. “Withthe last week Bundles for Bluejackets has been chartered. While fthis organization has been formed as a separate group it will Swork closely with Bundles for Britain. It means that on the one hana our workers will carry comforts for Britain's civilians and armed forces: in the other will be bundles containing knitted articles and comforts for the men of the United States Navy.” She explained that in July Mrs. Latham had offered the organization’s services to Secretary Knox. At that time there was a sufficient supply of knitted garments for the Navy men, but the Secretary promised to notify the group if and whenever they could be of service. Recently the call came.
Funds Will Be Separate
RUNDLES FOR BLUEJACKETS has been incorporated separately from the parent organization. Its funds will be kept separate. Officers, excepting the treasurer, will be the same as those managing the affairs of Bundles for Britain. “Our object,” she said, “will be to knit the garments the Navy requests. We do not know how far-reaching this will be. It may mean double the work we have been doing.” She pointed out that the new group already had equipped the men on one ship which sailed this week for Iceland. Wool, knitting needles and instructions will be available in the local branch soon so that the work can get under way here. Comm. B. H G. Mathews, U. S. N. R, in charge of naval recruiting in Indiana, and Lieut. Comm. Boyd Phelps, U.S. N. R, in command of the radio school at the Naval Armory, also spoke at yesterday's luncheon. Among the honor guests were Mrs. William H. Coleman, the honorary president of the local branch; Mrs. Booth * Tarkington, the branch's sponsor, and Mrs. Alvin M. Owsley, honorary vice president.
Tea Is This Afternoon at Propylaeum
MRS. COLEMAN was to sponsor a tea this afternoon in the Propriaeum for Bundles for Britain workers, at which Christopher Emmett, New York radio commentator, was to speak. Mrs. Atwater, formerly Miss Conway Lilly of Indianapolis, is the daughter of the late John Miller Lilly and the widow of A. Russell Atwater. She was married here in 1914 to Mr. Atwater and they lived in Indianapolis until 1919, when they went to Washington. Mrs. Atwater has been a full-time volunteer worker at the national headquarters of Bundles for Britain for a year. She is director of the merchandise division, in charge of purchasing all materials offered for sale in Bundles for Britain offices in this country. While here she is the guest of Mrs. Charles A. Rock- " Wood, 3841 N. Meridian St. Total receipts of Bundles for Britain from last December through Sept. 30, according to Mrs. Atwater, were over $4,054,000, including cash donations, receipts from benefits and the sale of both new and donated articles. This was in addition to the tons of used clothing, surgical instruments, drugs and supplies sent Engfand. The organization also is supporting 63 bombed English hospitals for civilians and has promised to restore the hospitals to order. The organization, she said, now has branches on four of the 81x continents.

Lipstick Wardrobe Is Convenient
A committee meeting in the morning, bridge in the afternoon, and a play and supper in the evening— and the right lipstick for each occasion. And all in one case—a compact little case that you can tuck into your purse, or pin onto your lapel— somewhat resembling in‘ appearance a conductor’s change-maker. The cases are silver or gold finished and the lipsticks are a conservative pink, a dashing red and a glamorous dark shade. Prices are attractive, too.
