The Gleaner Speaks
Up to the present issue, the sup­port
1 have received both financi­ally
and through contributions has
been splendid. I have been able
to put my best foot forward, and
be the kind of a college paper you
like.
However, I can not continue to
exist in this same way unless I
continue to be supported. I will
not be plunged into bankruptcy,
or anything so drastic as that, but
some of my special features will
have to be eliminated.
I am your college paper. You
seem to be proud of me. You
win be asked to work. Be willing
to continue to help me to be some­thing
of which you may be proud.

Fashions
Several of our women's colleges
have commented on the trend of
women's fashions. With the ad­vent
of longer skirts, and a dis­tinctly
more feminine manner of
dressing, there is question of a
change in attitude toward women.
It is very possible that this will
usher in an entirely different era,
one of chivalry. We may find
ourselves back in the days of
knights and ladies, but it will be
a world qualified by modern influ­ence.
Something to look forward
to!

Patriotism grows and flourishes
vigoroush' in time of war. Men

Rochester, N. Y.
Dear Miss Holmes:
You cannot know how delighted
we were to receive your kind let­ter
with the assurance that two
large bagg of stamps were on the
way to us.
We delayed writing until we
could assure you that the bags had
arrived safely. They lifted us out
of a "slough of despond." The
stamps are sold for the benefit of
the missions and for the last two
months we could not meet the
demand, with a consequent loss to
our work.
The stamps were in excellent
condition. We shall be glad of
any further co-operation that you
can give along these or any other
lines.
Please extend our appreciation
and gratitude to each and every
member of the Unit. They will
have a big place in the prayers of
~raryknoll for their own intentions
and for their generous efforts on
behalf of the Missions.
Yours very gratefu!ly,
THE MARYKNOLL SISTERS,
per: Sister M. Catherine.
We also wish to extend our thanks
to our donators in the diocese. espe­cially
Katherine Dash. Lois Foley.
