Materials for making hospital garments have arrived and the cutting committees are working regularly, so that those ladies desiring sewing can be supplied now without interruption. We are notified that there will be some delay in supplying yarn from Cleveland and the order cannot be filled for several days. Orders from headquarters say to make no more quilts or afghans. Congestion in shipping makes It necessary to cut down the bulk In production wherever possible. , MRS. LENA GRAHAM.
