' Three days later her baby was born. Convalescent soldiers made the cra­ dle, and nurses padded and lined it. For blankets and bedding there were ■ khaki mufflers, donated by the men. ; The "camp infant” had a happy life. When at last |he baby was dressed ; for its cross-Channel trip and the mar- . garine box packed with baby clothes, there was ,p silence in the old French house, and a void. >>> * * Many and varied were the letters re- . qeived, and from all parts of the world, One day the post brought a dozen tiny envelopes with letters written on mini- ’ ature note paper and in lead pencil. ’ The handwritings were wobbly and ' uncertain and gaps were filled up with crosses and kisses.

And there is one work they are doing that has gleaned little publicity but has been invaluable—I speak of the reception of the relatives of the wounded, who are summoned to France to the bed­ side of their men, and who. are the Y.M.C.A.’s honored guests, Nothing can mitigate the'first sharp sorrow of loss, and too often the rela­ tives are “not in thtfe” to bid a last farewell. But everything that can be done is done—on a' system wise and kindly. Hope of Resurrection. I have in mind one old French house which I visited when I was in France, It is a hostel for those relatives who, anxious of heart, have b$en .summoned peremptorily across the Channel to the bedside of wounded and dying men. There they qre made welcome, no mat­ ter how long their stay may be. And more important than education, and more timq should be given to exercise and recreation.

X ■ Out in the queer,, old-fashioned courtyard a father was pacing up and down alone. He was a kindly, friend­ ly man from the far north of-Scotland, fond of a "crack”, (chat) with his neighbors. But to-night no'One dared speak to him.- He was fighting ’the shadow alone. It was only yesterday that he had a •great story to tell. His boy was "doin’ fine.” They had had to ampu­ tate his leg, but he was putting up a real stiff fight. Who would give fresh life blood to turn the balance ?
