ance on Tuesday.
SUBSCRIBE TOPATRIOTSFUND

"Liberal Religion" and its signif-
canoe in war times was the theme of
very interesting essay read Thursday
afternoon by Mrs. Horace J. Upham of
Milwaukee, to the members of the
Women s Alliance of Kenosha at their
regular meeting in the parlors of the
Hotel Kenosha. More than thirty mem
bers were present and in the business
part of the meeting voted unanimously
to show their support of the ''Kenesha
Plan" by making a subscription of So
to the Patriots Fund in addition to the
individual obligations of each member.
Among those present at the meeting
was Mrs. Richardson of Milwaukee, the
state director of the Alliance, who in
a short talk, urged the members to con
tinue the splendid work of the Alliance
at any cost.
Prior to the essay of the afternoon
Miss Lucille Hill, in her winning way,
rendered two very entertaining read
ings. The first, "A Platonic Friend
Ship by Barrie well illustrated the
logic of the great Scotchman and the
second "The Boy Who Was Afraid o.
Dyin +" had in it a wealth of senti-
ment and patriotism which captivated
the audience. The music of the meet
ing was furnished by Merlin Morgan
staern, who with winning melody and
technique, sang "Absent" and "The
S,rpcbina az Vour Smile -
Mrs. Upham, in her essay, pointed
out that the kinship of man and God
had been illustrated time and again by
the soldiers who gave their lives on the
fields of Flanders and Verdun that 9th
ers might live to the full. She praised
the faith within them that urged them
to battle for the peace which should
bring happiness for their countrymen.
She also pointed out that the war had
made people more serious and had
brought them to the realization of the
truths of religion.
At the close of the meeting light re
freshments were served blythe hostess
es, Mrs. D. F. Brister, Miss Matte
French and Mrs. H. L. Bullamore. The
next meeting of the Alliance is to be
held on December 9th at the home Of
Mrs. Simon Gottlieb, at which time
musical program will be rendered. Ar
rangements have also been made to
have some war relief scrap-books for
the ladies to work on at the next meet
ing.

ing of same will begin Saturday after
noon, December 8th, at the Red Cross
rooms. Every one in Kenosha is inter
ested in the preparation of these
Christmas packets and many will want
to have a part in the packing and in
order to avoid the confusion Of having
too many workers at one time the Com
mittee on Supplies for Fighting Men,
who have the matter in charge, have
decided to ask for volunteers to
help in this work.
Several organizations have already
asked that they be permitted to assist
and have offered to organize team of
their members and assume, the respon-
sibility of preparing q certain number
of the packets. This plan offers very
happy solution for accomplishing this
work as it will permit members of each
organization to work together. 1t is
suggested that teams be formed OF
twenty members, who will elect cap
tain, and that the captain notify Mrs.
Chester Barnes by phone, No. 366,
that they are ready. This notice
must be received by her before Tues
