Gifts of Shoes Needed By French

An appeal is being made for new, worn or resoled shoes for the peasants in France who have been afflicted by the war, by Mrs. Winthrop, of 38 Beacon street, Boston. She has received a letter from Madame Nina Duryea, who has just returned from Raen l'Etape, Vosges, describing the piteous condition of the peasants there with their homes in ashes and their feet bare. Anyone wishing to contribute may send shoes to the above address and they will be forwarded to the Secours Duryea, Paris.
