RAMBLING IN THE RAIN.

June 24th, 1938. Dear Editor, — Owing to my duck-like habits I thought I would go abroad last Wednesday and see how my W hite Ribbon sisters at Brooklyn were getting on. As vou doubtless know, tliev had arranged a special effort to raise funds for Headquarters. Had the day been fine there would surelv have been a crowd of \isitors; as it was there was a surprising number of friends, and the Union members were as cheerful as possible, even if the rain rained enough for two wet day* at once and the cold nipped one’s fingers, toes and nose more than was really friendly. During the afternoon the choir of the League of Mothers sang two songs must charmingly, under the leadership of Mrs. Keuuedv. Ido hope th t when Convention comes we iip.v have the pleasure of hearing this choir again. The stalls were well stocked with all manner of good and prettv things and the afternoon tea was -at out on small tables on the platform Very good and hot it w is too, and, although some of us had more than one "drink," no one staggered or seemed unable or unfit to drive a car if opportunity had offered. If any Union is feeling just a wee bit downhearted about raising funds, may I suggest that they think of Brooklyn Union, which raised the sum of £6 on one of the wettest and coldest days 1 have seen for many a year. Next time Brooklyn has ‘‘party” I do hope that vou will be well enough to go. Yours sincerely, WANDERING WINNIE. - J»—jl—-
