MANY weddings mark the fall months
and the question Of wedding showers has
arisen TO provide discussion among the
cheerful givers."
The girl that foresees her own wedding
even in the dim distance, sees only poetry
sentiment and delight in the shower
scheme. but those who are already paired
and who enjoyed no showers and those
who are not anticipating wedding III
their family see something beside sentl-
ment in the shower. 1t is exhaustngiy
harsh upon their allowances, and at times
they must choose between the dainty
necktie to wear at the wedding itself, or
q piece Of china. glass CT jewel as q gift
at the preliminary TO the wedding
These people are not mercenary. The
girl who expects TO be a beneficiary OF
the system naturally enjoys givin6, be-
cause she would be in position to receive
without feeling under too great obliga-
tions The girl who earns a good income
anu SIC who has a large allowance may
take real pleasure in their gifts. They are
Ike the Christmas favors which people
enjoy giving 50 greatly.
But the girl who posses little pock-
ct money and yet whose station entities
her to place in society feels the burden
of the shower.
If the shower took the place % the we'd
ding gift it might be more easily defend

Is just an extra tax.
To give is certainly a great pleasure
To entertain is quite as delightful as TO

The Week iD Wichita Society
Thanksgiving DiDDers Next

for the purpose of entertaining, and pro-
motion of sociability, an occasional din
der or supper provesc their capacity in
that direction. and the friendly relations,
between posts and corps are kept in evil
dence.
Tuesday of last week was appointed
as Inspection day for W. 2. c., No 40.
and in honor of Mrs. Lillian Godfrey of
Newton, whose office It was to perform
that duty, an invitation to dinner was
extended not only to Garfield Posi-. but to
all gentlemen whose wives or daughters
are Corps members.
a glance at the assemblage of men at
the hall as the noon hour approached,
showed that the invitation had been ap-
preciated
There were aged veterans. whose steps
are growing slow and uncertain; veterans
younger and stronger, but many of them
bearing marks of the service they rem
dered in defense of the fog. Some young
men were there who have not known,
and may never have to learn, what it is
to leave home and friends taking, taking
as motto: The love of my country
leads me on"
And the small boy, to whom the dinner
tables appealed more strongly than any
patriotic teaching. was a good bit in evil
dence.
Had cold SOL been less sulky, the at
tendance of corps members, large as it
was, would have been greater. Besides
the older ladies of the corps nearly all of
whom are still good workers, there are
many younger matrons and some young
girls. and when intent on hospitality, it is
a pleasure to see them mingle harmoni-
ously in serving.
Four tables were laid-and ''laden."
too. and full Justice was done to the vi
ands, while just and merriment prevailed.
How many times those tables were filled
and cleared is more than this department
can declare, but. as is always the case,
the women of No 40 had prepared 50
bountifuly that no scarcity was known.
The Corps met in regular session at
the appointer time, and transacted bust
ness as if inspection We're an everyday
occurrence. When the work of installa-
ton was exemplifed. number of COM
rades of Garfield Post were admitted
and Comrade Fishback made "a neat, con-
gratulatory address. Mrs. Godfrey made
few remarks of an encouraging
nature. and seemed decidedly pleased
with No. 40. Its growth and progress
were favorably commented upon.
Mrs J. NJ Reed, of Newton, was a
visitor. and in few well chosen phrases
she congratulated the Corps and express
ed the pleasure of her visit.
Altogether. the day was pleasant one
TO remember, and No. 40 hopes to be
known as the banner Corps" of this de-
partment

What Came of a Letter.
\ TY DEAR JOHN

Or. North does call here about once a
week He used to be anxious about my
health, and then too he seemed to like
to discuss music and art with me- We
are very good friends.
Now, John, YOU ask me point blank if
am in love with the doctor There is
no sense in running on in this fashion.
| write merely to tell you that you
needn't be afraid. He says l am an
Inspiration to him. The goodness only
knows what he sees in me l am such
a hunbug 1nusically, intellectually and
grtistically that 4 man of his calibre
should see right through me. He never
suspects that l have not taken his medi-
zine for months. The fact is John am
getting better dav by day You know
the world is full of tired women. Some
are tired mentally, some tired physically,
and a few unfortunate ones suffer from
both mental and physical fatigue. The
society woman IS worn ont by con-
tnual round of social duties. A work
Ing woman Is worn out by real bodily
fatigue and dull routine. Something
more than that is the matter with me
John. You know for wears have suf-
fersd from nervousness, lack of sleep at
night, backache, and when the social
season was over l was almost dead. but,
thank goodness, John, am much
stronger woman now, and ] feel that
can take care OF that cute, little cottage
which YOU and I are going TO occupy

Sincerely yours,
