At that meeting; about $250 was j raised as a nucleus for the fund. The | idea of the distribution of the little savings "maisonettes" is due to the i thoughtfulness of Mrs. Frank W. Fitz| Patrick. a member of the Twentieth [Century Flub. The "maisonettes" were designed by her husband, the artist and i architect. I Members of the Twentieth Century ! CItib distributed the "maisonettes" j among; people who showed an interest. ! Persons not connected with the organization heard of the savings banks and of the object in view and asked for them. The tirst returns from the maisonettes were made recently. Three Drafts Forwarded. A first draft for 1.328 francs had been sent to the Comtesse de Byras immediately following the lecture. When the maisonettes were collected and their contents removed a second draft to an amount of 3,795 francs was transmitted. A little later further contributions and box collections enabled the club to send a third draft amounting to 2,065 francs to Paris. The total already transmitted is 7,187 francs. The work that the Twentieth Century Club is doing aroused interest in other cities. Tu Boston Mrs. F. B i Marcan, who before her marriage was Agnes Fitzpatrick of this city, took up the work of distributing the maisonettes. The Lend a Hand Society is aiding the cause in Boston. Through Mrs. Marean's efforts about 1,600 francs already have been added to the fund. The money has been included in the drafts sent to Paris. Jn Omaha, Neb., a schoolboy. George Paul Borglum, who is a nephew of Mine. Vignal, the wife of Col. Vignal, military attache at the French embassy, undertook to aid the work. Ilf wrote for one of the little savings banks and in a short time he raised enough money to furnish three houses. I He is continuing- the work and has I written that he is making fine progI ress. Work Begun Elsewhere. I In Chicago a former president of the I Twentieth Century Club. Mrs. John E. I Wilkie, lias take up the maisonette I work. Interest in the work in MaryI land has been stimulated by Mrs. Guiori 1 Miller, a former president of the TwenJ tieth Century Club, and in the state of ^5 Maine by Mrs. Ernest A. Allan, who is spending the winter in Washington and so became acquainted with the object in view. Furniture for two houses was made ^ possible by a contribution from the girl students of Guriston Hall Their interest iri the matter was so keen that, they denied themselves certain accustomed delicacies for a week and put the money which they saved into the fund. An offer has come to Mrs. Clark from a father arid son in Boston to go to France at their own expense and there to give their labor to the work of erecting the houses. Eabor is scarce in France, because all the young men are at the front. T : f n?* :.?>. -btAjJi esatuu ui uicuuuue. On the receipt of the first draft in aid of the Maine work the Comtesse Madeleine de Byras wrote a letter to Mrs. Clark from which these are extracts: i "Many thanks for your kind letter land the generous gift of the Twentieth J Century Club to the Bon Cite. Would you please transmit our heartiest thanks to all who have contributed and are contributing to our work in the devastated departments anil tell them how grateful we are in France for all you are doing for us in America V Would you also kindly transmit our very best thanks to the girls who have generously helped the Bon Cite; so I much good work is being done with their contributions? * The poor peasants have suffered terribly from the war; their homes have been destroyed. and this winter has been to them an exceptionally severe one in two departments, bitterly cold and heavy snow.
