THE EMPIRE'S WAR GRAVES." WOMEN'S CLUBS IN AMERICA. COMMEMORATING THE MISSING.

Whon the Imperial War Graves Com- mission, of which the Prince of Wales is the president, entered upon the practical part of its stupendous task, six years ago, there were approximately 2,500 cemeteries and church-yards in France and Belgium that had been devoted to the burial of the Empire's dead. At that time most of them were little more than rugged, battle. scarred fields, weed-covered and water- logged They have since been transform ed into beautiful gardens of sleep."

Many of them are not get completed, but none now show signs other than that of reverential order and care. Practic- ally all have been horticulturally treated. and this applies not only to the larger cemeteries; but also to the hundreds of little graveyards scattered all over France and Flanders that nestle in nooks and corners far removed from the track of the ordinary traveller.

After a tempting luncheon had been served, the President, Mrs. J. Scott Emens, introduced Mrs. Whittaker, the club's recording secretary, who has just returned from a year, in America, saying that although. Mrs. Whittaker had been back in Shanghai only 10 days she had plunged into club activities with characteristic seal.

Mr. Calthrop stated that he had been in the theatrical profession since he was eighteen years of age, and had pro- duced a number of plays, and revues. They included "The Young Person in Pink." "The Crossing," Will You Kiss "Money Doesn't Me My Nieces Matter," and "Double or Quits."

In 1993 he took a five years' lease of the Kingsway, Theatre, and there pro- duced Shakespearean plays at a loss of several hundred pounds. In February, 1994. he revived The Very Idea," and THE BEST ONE PAYS FOR LODGING.
