GOCIETY women as well as many
others, have given up much OF
- their time in the last few weeks TO
the whirlwind campaign now being
made TO get memberships in the Red
Cross, and at the headquarters there
has been a steady stream of women
bringing in their dollars for the good
of the great humanitarian organization.
Mrs. +. +. Fisher is chairman of the
woman S membership committee of the
present campaign, and has been sur
rounded with women as asSldiOus III
the pursuit of their work as herself.
Even with the overwhelming rush o.
patriotic movements, there has been
time for a few social activities, upon
which we all depend to make life bear
able. All work and no play has always
been considered a bad system, and
worse in periods OF stress than at 9th
cr times, so there still is excellent rea-
son why one must forget duty and rest
the mind with play.
Mr.. and Mrs. William H. Dancy had
about 80 of the married contingent at
their home Monday night for an infor-
NAL $500" party.
Seven tables were arranged for the
games, the players being members OF
the Memo club, who have been enjoying
their usual round of parties again this
season and will gather for the closing
of the series at the next meeting.
The card hOnors fell to Mrs. Edwin
L. Baker and DR.. L. F. Griffith.
The rooms were attractive with vel +!
low doronicums and forget-me-nOts.
Assisting Mrs Dancy were Mrs. !
James A. Wilson, Mrs. r. E. Lee Stein |
er and Mrs. L. f. Griffith.
A charming affair of the early week |
was the pretty bridge luncheon for
which Mrs. Lawrence T. Harris was
hostess Monday.
An artistic basket of lovely rose pink
sweet peas and lacey ferns decked the |
table around which covers were placed
for sixteen. After luncheon the guests
circled four tables of bridge. Mrs |
John H Albert was awarded the high |
score honors.
The guests who were for the most
part members Of the hostess club, IN
cluded Mrs. Richard B. Goodin, Mrs.
George Lewis, Mrs. F. G. Bowersox,
Mrs. Ralph Glover, Mrs. j. L. Clarke.
Mrs. George Wood, Mrs. Edward Gil
bingham, Mrs. George Watson, Mrs, Ar
thur Moore, Mrs. George E. Schaefer !
and Miss Calista Moore.
Other guests were Mrs. John II. Al !
bert. Mrs. John d. Sutherland, Mrs. |
Douglas C. Minto, Mrs Kate Kennel
of Portland and Mrs. Elizabeth Jewett |
of Springfield.
1t is with much regret that Salem
friends of Mr. and Mrs. ID. |. Howard
have learned this week of their intend
ed departure for their old home in the
south.
They will leave Salem sometime the
first Of June, going to Holly Springs,
Miss, for a visit, and later to Virginia
Beach, where they will pass the sum
mer.
They will be Joined at the latter
place bv their daughters, Mrs. Tuck
er (Carey Howard) and Miss Mary
south for some time.
This winter the Howards expect to
make their home in Columbus, Miss.
Although the Howards only came to
Salem from the south a few years ago,
they have made many friends here and
will be greatly missed.
