But Mrs. Lansing hasn't been doing the family shopping. She Is simply bringing down articles for the state department's war work. The wool, of course, Is to be knitted up Into warm garments for soldiers and sailors, and the multitudinous beautiful garments, which may show a little bit wear here and there, are to go Into Hr.
