admits to the suspicion during those
four years that the gowns reached
their intended beneficiaries. That is
passed, though. At least one of the
bath robes, or dressing gowns, ar-
rived and its warmth appreciated by
the receiver.
Only recently Mrs. Nellie Hillier,

England, wrote Mrs. Smith expressing
her deep appreciation for one of the
robes.

Mrs. Smith, secretary-treasurer of
the Clark P-TA for the past four
years, said she and other members
made several bath robes for the Red
Cross four years ago. Into a pocket
of each robe, members stuck their
names and addresses, hoping to re-
ceive just such a letter of apprecia-
tive acknowledgement as Mrs. Hillier’s
Mrs. Hillier’s two letters to Mrs.
Smith is the first response from a
person receiving them.
Since Mrs. Hillier’s letters, though,
other members of Clark P-TA are
waiting expectantly for word of their
robes.
