It is hoped that there will be a big response, as- a ■ great deal of work has to be faced. One thousand'shirts alone are to be given out for sewing, and thero' will be various other garments distributed as well. All over Wellington, women, many of thomyery busy women, are hard at work making all sorts of necessary garments for the, expeditionary force. Nurses in a large hospital liko that at Newtown 'have not too much time that they can call their own, but in response to the appeal of the matron to assist in helping to provide the equipment of the men who are leaving New Zealand in answer to the call that has been mado'for their services, every nurse who i was off .duty gave up her few short hours of leisure oh Saturday and sat to work-to the. making of shirts and hold-alls, tidies, and socks, blinding their eyes to tho. call of tho sunshine outside, the blue sky, and the many outside' interests which aro looked- forward to with keenness by such busy women. There was real self-sacrifice involved in their ready response to the request that was mad©' to. them on Saturday. Her. Excellency the Countess of liverpool is supplying the troops with "hoiisewifes" (satchels containing buttons, tape, cotton, needles, pins, etc.), and underclothing. She is being., assisted'by; au army of lady shirt-makers'who have, vol-' uritarily. come forward to assist in the good'-work.
