Mr Crawford Wood, in Saturday’s Field, says:

May I be permitted before the close of the season to refer to a subject not entirely beyond the realms of fox-hunting, one which bears its own tribute to the indefatigable labourers and willing sacrifice made by the hunting ladies of Warwickshire and others, who have established and maintained convalescent homes for wounded soldiers such as had never entered the minds of womanhood or before dawned upon a peaceful land? The chief difficulty in this naturally restricted reference to Good Samaritans lies in the danger of omissions. I fear to err: yet, should default occur, it arises from the difficulty of including all. At the huntingopolis of Kineton a Red Cross Hospital has done noble work in tending the constant stream of wounded, and, under the management of the ladies of the dual mastership, Lady Willoughby de Broke and Mrs. Joshia Fielden, together with the Hon. Mabel Verney, and assisted by Mrs Waldron, Miss Perry, Mrs Harry Lakin, Miss Verney, Misses Carey, the Misses Gaskell, and a trained staff, the work has progressed with such good effort that the very best results have been obtained. At Moreton Paddox, Mrs Emmet has entirely transformed a spacious mansion into the most modernly-equipped hospital, the most replete of hunting boxes lending itself to transformation with an easy adaptation which lacks nothing beyond a residence for its owners, who have practically surrendered all. Under Mrs Emmet’s direction, and with the commissariat department in the hands of Mrs Walter Buckmaster, the Moreton menage provides an Eldorado for suffering humanity.
