Learning to Keep House. These Belgian children have no homes in which to learn housekeeping but they are learning domestic art in their dormitory of the Ypres school colony, which has been established with aid sent by the Amer. Red Cross members. The dormitory is as spotlessly clean as though the little housekeepers had lived among all the comforts which American children know. They are some of the 350 children who were gathered in the colony by the Red Cross because they have no homes in which to stay during the bitter winter. While their parents are living in damp cellars and dugouts, the children are kept as comfortable as possible
