M dIIhlIS OF "a lIlNOlOuS nature
"a were held in abeyance this week
4 n and the social calendar has been
practically a blank. The mobilization
of Company M, o. N. g., cast decided
gloom over Salem and the soldier boy
was the all absorbing topic.
Salem mas been bubbling over with
patriotism, and matrons and maids
deserted most Of the weeks gayeties
TO sew or raise funds for the soldiers.
The toning up Of public spirit to a
higher degree Of patriotism was effect
lively accomplished by the members Of
the newly organized Salem Patriotic
= League, who have worked zealOusly all
week.
Society is now preparing for the an
nual Cherry Fair, which promises to be
one Of the biggest pageants that Sa-
lem has ever known. This year every
one is manifestng marked entlusi-
asm in the festival and many prOmi-
nent men and women will enter their
ears in the floral parade. A number
of society matrons and maids who are
always willing to bO OF assistance
wherever necessary, are taking an ac-
tive interest in the baby show and
scores of responses are pouring into
the headquarters Of the committee
from parents Of little tots, who will
vie with each other for hOnOrs. In
fact the enthusiasm has been such that
directors Of the association are conf
dent that this years parades will
eclipse in point of size and artistry
any previous festival.
Mrs. William Dancy has proven her
self most efficient chairman, and to
her efforts and those of the commit
tee, is due the credit of the pageant.
Another feature and a fitting close
to the gayeties of the festival will be
the ball, which will be given at the
Rrmory Monday night, under the aus
pices of the Cherrians.
