Letter From the Front
A unmber of our readers have ex-
pressed the .pleasure ,they have de-
rived in reading the interesting let.
tees that have been published i*i the
`rimes, written by Mss Edna Dow,.
We are pleased to be able to reprint
one .received by Mrs. S. Fitton: Ow-
ing to the strict censorship of the
press, some very interesting parts
must to °emitted.
Shorecliff, Ing, Aug„ 29th
My Dear Mrs. Fitton,
Your letter woe, •indeed, a surprise,.
and 1 am showing my appreciation
by a prompt reply. No one can im-
agine just how much' we anticipate
the postman's arrival, nor yet just
how much we are disappointed when
we are not among the 'fortunate. •.
You see, we are boot: in England
again, and it is an ideal' spot to spend
' the summer months, We cave over
about six weeks ago, aa arrangements
had been m;'ide for our 'unit to take
over a small hospital of about 250
beds, for the time -being, so they re-
called twenty-five of our nursing
staff, and I
Was more than pleased to
be included. However, we expect to
' move in the immediate future. We
l do not know whether it will be to
(~ranee o2; the Dardauelles, but we.
think, most probably France.
Our hospital is `situated on a huge
elevation eight on: the sea shore, and
the view is wonderful; The Sisters'
<Xuarters occulty a furnished house.
and we are one big happy family. As
yet we have not realized many of
the inconveniences -to be expected on
active service. My room faces the
Channel +and nay bed is right across
the window, and as oneof •m3' French-
Canadians say, "I am =mad against"
, having to go to sleep;
Since coming over ;here we have
not been receiving patients directly
from the firing -line. Most of them
E tome from the numerous camps, ste-
' tinned around Shorncliff. There are
.some thousands of soldiers here and
' consequently we ,get some very ser-
iously 111 men. We get patients,
though, that have been wounded some
months ago, and probably have been
limping arounid with a piece ' of
shrapnel or bullet embodied in their
flesh, or maybe they have a disabled
hand or .arm, owing to the�contrac-
t.ion of certain muscles. and in most
eases On operation .renders them fit
to join their unit, ;While it is aw-
telly good to see the oft:ending mem-
ber .restored to its normal, one. can-
not help but realize a little regret,
to think they must return to the
tree cbes for something worse, which
does happen in naost cases.
Wien in France, among the pa-
tterns, we 'noticed how very few of
the men 'wanted to talk about their
experiences. I guess it is because
they try to forget the horrors,'
You asked -about necessities in our
line., Well, 1 am 'afraid J am not in
a position to judge. as I say we have
been fortunate in having many con-
veniences that we may not have ,later
on. However, it is ' very marked
among all the hospitals that "plenty
to eat" seems to be the secret of con-
tentment. They get good, substantial 1
food here, and .plenty of it, .but it is
the little extras that count, such as
fruit. chocolate, cake. etc. They love
chocolate and it seems to take the
place of alcohol in a measure and in
France it is'appalingly dear—I sup- I
Pose because of the price of sugar—
The chocolate firms in Canada have
been 'most generous, and in one hos-
pital I know, that each patient af-
ter every dinner receivedone of those
large cakes of milk chocolate.
As for war news we know practi
catty nothing and there is a saying
in our mess, that we must write home
to Toronto to see if there is founda-
tion for such and such a rumor. We
watch manoeuvres or. the Channel
with unlimited curiosity. It is ' most
interesting, and in some cases we
learn the cause of so much 'activity
The first indicating of. "something
doing" will be a couple of little
scouting vessels, then suddenly ont
of nowhere two or three destroyers
come cutting through the surface
with the appearance of master of the
universe. But the submarines do
their little sneaking share—at least
you cannot help but .associate them
with snooping. Then the air -craft
seems to be indispensible, and the
dirigible is the busiest of all. It re-
sembles a huge illuminum beetle.
And. about the whole thing, what nn -
Presses ,you so forcibly is the quiet
manner in which it is all accomplish-
ed and the understanding that exists
between every part, without any vis-
ible means of communication — not
even a whistle. '
I have written at length but I
seem to always have something more
to add. Am glad to hear of the ex-
cellent results oe the ladies efforts
at your festivalof nations. Am sure
-you pest all be meets encouraged:
At any time I will be very pleased
to hear from any ;;of you. kindest
regards.

Exeter Fair
'The Exeter Fair for 1015 has
passed into 'history and despite the
disagreeable weather which prevailed
vas a success. There wves a targe
Wttendanee and the exhibits were of
ai very high order, En the crystal
palace the exhibit of the ladies :work
,Mowed a wide '.range of useful and
fancy articles that were the admira-
tion of the many visitors, The ex.hib-
' it in Ithis building 'was up to former
years and in some cases surpassed
it. The exhibit of fruit, however, was
conspicuous by its absence. Apples,
pears, plums, etc., were very scarce
and recalled to memory the beauties
of other years that went sty) fatten the
hogs. The grain and roots were ;fine.
A drizzling zling; rain and cold, atmos-
phere Tuesday morning kept many
exhibitors in the live stock Eno
' from coming in consequently some of
the classes were not as well filled
I es in foz•rrmey 'years. The showing of
horses was `a little light but there
were some excellent specimens in the
different classes. There was a)so
some excellent cattle on, exhibition,
The ram also interferred somewhat
