This used to be the Bridge Club
and many a jolly afternoon they had,
too, with their acea, and hearts, and
jacks, and trumps.
Then the war camel
Brothers, husbands, sons, sweethearts
left home to be aces of the air, jacks of the
navy or trumps of the American Army.
The afternoon meetings continued
but the scenes changed to Red Cross
workrooms. And serious, busy fingers of
hundreds of thousands of patriotic Amer
ican women worked day in and day out
to alleviate the suffering of their loved
ones, and yours, too, who responded so
gallantly to the country's needs.
They gave their time, and energy, and
devotion to the Red Cross cause of ho
inanity, without stint or murmur their
work has been one of the finest, most
enduring examples of unselfish service
of America's whole war experience.
Those wonderful women have made the
foundation of future Red Cross work, in a
big way, possible. That work must go on,
of course as long as American soldiers
are over the sea the Red Cross is neces
saryas long as emergency relief work
needs to be done.
And now comes your turn to make the
carrying on of the Red Cross work a
certainty none of your time is asked
for no special effort just the support
of your membership.
