Feeling the warp and woof. Throughout the Balkans the American Red Cross established ouvroirs or sewing rooms for poor women. In these ouvroirs garments were made for infants, orphans and the poor from cloth either furnished or purchased locally. At Proti Island near Constantinople the camp is caring for about a thousand refugees who were brought to Constantinople from Idessa i.e. Odessa recently by the relief ship, "Navajo." In order to keep these refugees busy the Red Cross has purchased many bales of cloth to be made up into garments. The photo shows Major James A. Mills, of New York, purchasing cloth in the picturesque bazaars of Stamboul
