OCIETY with a capital has
drawn the cloak OF retirement
- about its social form and the ut
most quiet prevails. This week is
possibly the frs. IN social history
when the days have been utterly void
OF all social activities. One large card
party and a tea haze covered the
week gaiety. OF course there are the
half dozen friends gathered during
either the morning or afternoon hours
who either ply the knitting needles
or other Red Cross work. But every
thing is Red Cross. No more after
moons where mylady rocks comfort,
ably in her lanai rocker and does her
bit Of social chatter. That is ghost
of yesterday. II is counting stitches
or else sitting with list adding new
names Of workers in the task OF help
ing our boys, and we are not doing
enough yet We will be when we are
working twenty hours out Of twenty
four. This does not apply TO the
woman who has been at work since
the beginning and who realized that
work and plenty Of it was the only
.
the willing hands busy. Wait till
some OF our boys are brought home
with the trade mark of war upon
them and the doubling Thomases see
for themselves that, We are really al
war, then will we all Of us do our
part as II should be done, to help rid
the earth Of the people who are caus-
ing this worldwide calamity. -
Today the Kaimuki unit held a Red
Cross sale of cooked foods and other
dainties which has Melted a goodly
sum to be used for cause that is
nearest every Americans heart Sew
eral Of the younger set have formed
knitting units and they meet regu-
larly to work for the Red Cross. Any
one wishing to form a new unit and
is uncertain as to how to start, just
phone Mrs. Henry Damon or Mrs. Ger
rit Wilder, or for that matter any OF
the women who have been engaged in
this work and the necessary informa-
ton will be forthcoming. The chill.
dren's unit at Punahou chapel under
Mrs. E. NJ. Watson's able direction
shows what can be accomplished
with youngsters and 1t would be well
for every school in the territory to
have a Red Cross hour or two each
week. To realize the amount that
would be accomplished Just think OF
the thousands of children who could
do this work. The result would, in.
deed, be far-reaching and as so many
hundreds of these kiddies have no
way or means OF assisting at hons
this would help to give them the right
idea of helping those at the front
who are giving their life's blood to rid
the world of the people who work
such sad havoc on little children and
wounded soldiers. II is only sug-
gestion, but one that would help in a
tremendous way. r. III.
