Mr.. and Mrs. Mart Wright entertain
ed a few friends at dinner on Wednes-
day at their cosy home on Fourth
street.
The American woman's part in war
is no small one. Aside from the hero
ism and patriotic feeling which
prompts her to give loved ones to her
country. she is possessed of the abili-
ty to raise funds for the relief Of the
sick and wounded. The Red Cross So
ciety Of California is about to equip a
hospital ship and Wyoming women are
giving able assistance, raising money
by a chain Of letters. Since many of
the ladies of Laramie have received
these letters no explanation Of the plan
is necessary. 1t is to be hoped the shin
may soon be fitted out and, sailing
under the holy banner Of the Red
Cross. may it give relief to our suffer-
ing soldiers in the Philippines.
