ings Twice Month

on in some of the smaller towns THESE all
have their womens clubs and their Red
Cross branches and are just as energetic
as can be. The Woman's Club of DreXel
Hill was organized quite recently and as
yet there is no clubhouse, SO the meetings
are held twice a month at the different
members houses. And the women, realizing
the patriotism there is In denying them
selves small. comforting things, have re-
solved not to serve tea, but instead to use
the money for chocolate and tobacco for the
soldiers. Mrs. j Lawrence Wdmyer Is
president of the club The Red Cross branch
out there, of which Mrs. RoSsiter Is chair
