CALLS MEETING
OF LEAGUE
Mns. BENJAMIN ELSAS, presi
dent of the National Leagne
for Women’s Service, has called a
meeting of the board of directors,
chairmen of the day, and all those in
terested in the work of the¢ league, to
meet in the league rooms in the Tu
dor Huilding at 10:30 o'clock Tues
day morning to discuss the plans of
reorganization which are now going
forward under the auspices of the
War Camp Community Service.
The meeting will be addressed by
Lieutenant McMahon, new morale of
ficer at Camp Gordon, who will out
liné the present needs of the men
and the co-operation which is needed
on the part of the women of the city
in making the life of the soldiers
brighter at this critical time.
The future of the National League
for Women’s Service, which has al
ready made such a large contribution
tcward the welfare of soldiers sta
tioned in and around Atlanta, has
been assured by the Atlanta War
Camp Community Service. The lat
ter organization, by supplying the
necessary funds, has made possible a
greatly enlarged program of activi
ties in behalf of the men in uniform
which will be put into effect imme
diately.
“The work of the National League
for Women’s Service is not only go
ing forward, but it is going forward
with redoubled efforts,” declares Mrs.
Benjamin Elsas, the president.
“Our plans include first an Over
seas Club, to ‘be run in our present
quarters in the Tudor Theater Build
ing. This club will furnish many of
the best features of club life, com
bined with the home touch that
thoughtful women cam supply, both
by their deeds and their presence. It
will be open every afternoon and eve
ning. *
“Other lines of activities which we
have carried forward in the past will
be continued. This applies especially
to our room service bureau. We havs
been listing available rooms an
apartments which the families of sol
diers might rent, and contrary to a
popular impressign; the need for the
aerxfoe has not been done away with;
in fact, we are at the present time in
particular need of as many rooms as
we can discover, and all people in the
city who can accept lodgers or can
spare a room to rent are asked to
communicate at once with our office,
by calling Mrs, Robinson at Ivy 5720.
“In order to carry forward our new
program to a successful conclusion
the league must have the earnest co
operation of all those who have aided
it in the past, as well a 8 of those who
have not yet assisted in the work.
The need is urgent.”

P ROMINENT women representing

Mrs. E. H. Goodhart, recently ap
pointed chairman fer Georgia of the
Blue Triangle campaign, had sum
moned them, and they were addressed
by ledders in the South Atlantic
States of the work of the “Y. W.”
To finance the fleld work of the as
sociation is the purpose of the cam
paign, one of nation-wide scope, to
raise a mlllion dollars. One hundred
dollars from each county in Georgia
is the quota for this State.
The money given the Y. W. in the
November campaign was for war
work only. The present campaign
Is for funds to be used among the
women and girls needing the help of
the Y, W, in this tountry,
Mrs. Goodhart, in planning the
“home’” campalgn, is using as far as
possible the organization which was
80 successful in the United War
Work campaign.
The district chairmen form a State

chairmen have assumed the respon

The Backbone of Rich’s
21st Annual Linen Sale
TO MAKE ourselves clear, let us say that when
we speak of table linens, we mean genuine
table linens—pure flax to the core!
. i ' 7 Our outlet for fine table linens is immense. This makes it
, " necessary for us to carry huge reserve stocks of linens. For
.‘ the past four ysars we have been snapping up good table lin
.',‘ ens whenever our qualities were to be had. This explains
" how we have been able to maintain our reserve stocks.
I' (] Comes now the 21st Annual Linen Sale and taps
l,‘ A these splendid linen holdings. How large, how fine
Pl they are—Brown’s Shamrock, Fluer de Lis, Gold
a 4 Medal, Rich’s Special Irish Damask—all famously
A good brands—to say nothing of the hundreds and
<L) hundreds of yards of linen damask by the yard and
the hundreds and hundredsofdozen of linen napkins.
. 1 It is futile to expect a great influx of linens from Europe.
AL KA The restoration of neglected and devastated fields in Ireland
‘:..;- mmm!'m'" l" and on the Continent is a matter of years. To stimulate flax
égm,‘-:;‘ii""u% FRAE production, the British government has guaranteed growers
154 “‘I'“l'“lil“‘l““ in Ireland a higher price for their flax crops than they ever
ul’J|“ Bt realized before. Lower prices/for table linens during the next
y i . year or two are entirely out of the question.
In Rich’s 21st Annual Linen Sale, table linens are pre- -
sented at prices anywhere from 10 to 25 per cent below
current retail quotations. The Sale has 5 days more to go.
