 and many who are awaiting orders to go | abroad to somewhere in France" So I | think, like the mothers, that 1t would be ! unseemly for a daughter, wife or sweet | heart to set her entire mind upon worldly gaiety whatever she may feel with death
 lowering in the air.

| 1TNNEAR BECKY: was talking to a IJL) friend of our. a few days ago and - he said Hattie Highlands, do you
 realize that it is the women of this coun- try who really hold the purse strings and that it is up to you women to look after the economies of the household?'
 Now, doesn't that sound like man; for. women in most all families that do the eeonomizing anyway.
 He continued to tell me that he thought that the majority of men were too care less and self-indulgent consequently whatever privation and self-sacrifces are called for are thrown upon the women, whose task is never ended, like the old saying, "A mans work is from sun to sun and a woman's work Is never done" Now it Is to you women of this splendid country of ours" he continued, that we have to look for the support of the fir ing line whether 1t is the surrender of that which you hold dearest to your heart or whether, it Is material assistance, and that is why your country is appealing to you in its hour of need"
 The value of woman's organizations, clubs, patriotic societies and social well fare associations was certainly impressed on us Thursday as never before when | stv,jt jt,v1 1f off service to our country.
 Who would have thought two years ago that the women, flowers of our land, would have stood for hours out in hard rain and marching through mud puddles up and down the streets of the city? Well, they did and were proud to do it. There were women, old and young, rich and poor side by side in that splendid parade that will ever be in the minds of our people. Among those noted in the long line of march were Mrs. William Jordan, Mrs. Cabaniss, Mrs. J. B. Reid, Mrs. Paul Cooke, Mrs. Stewart Welch. Miss Jennie Mae Rosser, Mrs Ohme, Miss hTS JOH0 lOmInSOn, Mrs William Walker and just scores of other splendid women.
 I have written you so much about wed- dings,-I suppose you think ere this we have nothing down here but brides; but of course one expects rush of weddings in June and furry of entertainments for brides, scent of orange blossoms, val ley lilies and orchids in the air and the sound of the wedding march on each passing breeze ~ s P: E x
 But-,this year, my dear, all records have been broken, for not only have we had the regular June weddings but in addi- tion there are number of hastily ar ranged affairs, none the less attractive because of the haste, however, due to the call to arms.
 Have you noticed that sometimes In these days of war and its train of wor ries an engagement may be announced Monday and the wedding take place Sat- urday. Speaking of Saturday, quite a
