Natural Ari5tCCrdcy.

The democratic element in modern
society Is undoubtedly gaining in
strength every year, and there is no
good reason for lamenting its advance.
But it will never do away with the
natural aristocracy which has made

dOwment or the acquisition Of few.

tiOn thus far has been its gross under

| is a work almost any one can do, and
that it is needed, no one can doubt
who has read the appreciative letters
written to the women who have ship
ped the boxes of slips to the Red
Cross headquarters in Philadelphia.
The Sumter Branch of the National
League for Service was organized by
Miss Jane Evans April goth, 1917. 7
was elected commandant for the town
and county and nine detachments have
been formed for work. Thus far the
pillow slips have been the chief aim
of the women and twenty-five hun
dred have been sent to headquarters
in Philadelphia. The women will
take up canning, and study thrift
agriculture and first aid under the
Red Cross, and other services, where
ever woman's work is needed. 1t is
in no way intended to interfere with
the work of the Red Cross. On the
contrary the idea is to cooperate
with that great humanitarian organ
izatiOn and to help in every way the
work. and at the same time urge
women to feel that the home and its
needs have u very important place in
the terrible struggle before the peo-
pie of America. 1t is the prepared
ness campaign planned to help along
lines untouched by other organiza-
tions. There are two hundred and
seventy women in Sumter and in
Wedgefield making pillow slips and
studying conditions in the home and
their communities. They are really
what their name describes Service
Units" They have helped in getting
entertainment for the girls of the to-
mato club and they will help in get
ting the material for the Rest Pads"
The Woman's League has worked
for the membership of the Red Cross
in Sumter with the understanding
that the League was here to cooper
ate with that organization. And if the
impression has gone abroad that the
two can not live in one community,
it must be only from the fact that
the work of the League for Service
has not been clearly defined. The
work of gttting our happy, carefree
women to realize that they must turn
their minds to the sad task Of study
ing war conditions Is we'll under way
and with heart and mind they will do
what comes. to hand, and this Is where
the League for Service comes in. If
thirty women are banded together
with a common cause will not their
work count for more than if each
goes on her separate way? The de-
