NJiW: LLMBS FOli OLD A recent cahlejrrani from Paris says that French sol diers who have lost either arms or legs gather daily at American Red Cross headquarters seeking assistance in olnaiiitng artificial limbs. The artificial limbs given by the lied Cross are declared to he the most practical that can he obtained. 'I he.'-o mutilated rYench soldiers, .the cablegram stales, typilv tin; true spirit of France's sacrifice. They never complain, hut are profuse in their thanks for assistance. Alter the return home of a soldier who had lost both legs and had been supplied with artificial limbs, his mother wrote to the American lied Cross as follows: "Thank you with all my heart for what you have done lor .my poor mutilated soldier. Your generous and chari table help has brought back to active life an unfortunate who, without you:r help, would have remained in the darkest of misery. , From my soul of a mother and a French woman I beg to tellHhe American mothers whose sons will soon be fighting along side of our sons, that j I. it is their fate to be sent some day to our hospitals, we shall receive them with devoted and tender care." o THE KALSUR'tf PFACF TERMS What promises to bo by far the largest social event of tlio holiday season Is tho Five Hundred party to be given by the ladles of the Thurs day Drldgo Club for the benefit of the Red Cross, at tho Masonic hall, Friday afternoon, December 2S, at 2:00 o'clock. Tho ladles aro carry ing out tho Idea of a chain of parties. The idea Is this; the ladles attending the first party are to pledge them selves to give a party of three tables each and each lady attending the party of threo tables is to give a party of two tables. Each lady will ire asked to give twenty-I'lve cents at ach party. In the cities where this chain of parties liavo been given they bavo been a great success and have netted tho ladies a nice sum for the lied Cross, besides providing very rajoyable entertainment. There will be no written Invitations; tho ladies want you all to como and If yon .hotild be ovurlooked and would en Wy being with the ladles even though nil do not play cards they would be glail to have you, or If you should hear of some friend or neighbor who has not been asked to eoino p;--se phono Mrs. M. 11.
