American Red Cross has selected
ore hundred women to take charge OF
the canteens and rest stations along

WHAT EFFECT WILL THE WAR
HAVE ON SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
DURING THE FALL AND
xx-Uxmx7n ON 1n1- 100

In spite of many rumors there has
been an open question in the social ed
itor's mind as to what would really be
the status of society's activities during
the fall and winter of this year of
grace 1918.
Following close upon the declaration
oc war, entertainments suddenly be-
come questionable and those who
Elected to play quit game of bridge,
instead of spending the morning hours
at work in preparing bandages and
surgical dressings, were looked upon
with distinct disfavor and in some
aggravated cases, these persons quite
lost cast.
All this was praiseworthy, if little
extreme.
But, would this new spirit of I'M
Iselfichness hold good That was the Vi
tai question-and the social editor
waited impatiently for September to
see.
The early fall brings the answer that
the splendid spirit of sacrifice, CO.
operation and helpfulness. manifested
by southern women in the first days
of war, will continue if necessary un-
til the end. The daughter of 1917 is a
worthy successor of the woman of the
sixties.
From all indications the membership
classes of the Red Cross which started
out so promisingly in the spring, will
treble by winter, for on every side tht
women have elected to forego enter
tanning and to lend their time and their
