Womans Club Of
Palisade Hold Their
Annual Luncheon,

The annual luncheon of the Wo-
mans Club, of Palisade, held in the
Green Room of the McAlpine Hotel
on Thursday at one o'clock was in
every way a most charming affair.
Fifty-eight women, including guests
were present and were served at
seperate tables in groups of eight.
The perfection of the cuisine and
the charmingly simple arrangement
of the green and white decorations
proved to some doubters that it is
possible, at least in the McAlpine
Hotel, to obtain a really excellent
luncheon in beautiful surroundings
for less than two dollars a plate The
credit goes to the committee of four
Mrs. E. Yancey Cohen, Mrs. George
Frew, Mrs. Wolcott and Mrs John H.
Bradshaw, who were in charge of the
luncheon arrangements.
Grace was pronounced by Mrs. w
F. Freeman, first president of the
club, and who is now living in Mas
sau, N. Y.
At the close of the luncheon three
very charming solos were sung by
Mss Clare Melville, Of London, ac-
companied at the piano by MRS
Emery Deyo, of Weehawken.
After brief address of welcome
by Mrs. Sam Hoke, acting president
of the club, Mrs. John H. Bradshaw
as toastmistress of the day intro
duced Mrs. John Schermerhorn,
president-elect of the New Jersey
State Federation. Mrs. Schermerhorn
spoke interestingly on the problems
and triumphs of the State Legisla-
ture Committee of the New Jersey
Federation.
The club was fortunate to have, as
one Of it's guests, Mrs. Emma Garrett
Boyd, of Atlanta, professional lee
turer on the drama. Mrs. Boyd gave
most fascinating talk on the re-
lation of the drama to modern living,
followed by brief character studies
of some of the greatest living dram
atists and closed by reading extracts
from a letter sent her by Lord Dun
slavey in which the poet pictured
figuratively the desolation of the
war ridden countries of Europe. The
letter will not soon be forgotten by
those who heard it read by Mrs
Boyd.
Mrs. Bradshaw then introduced
Miss Carita Spencer, national char
man of the surgical dressing COM
mittee, which has fifteen hundred
local branches in this country and
which has been doing tremendous
amount of work for the allies. Miss
Spencer gave a very thrilling ac-
count of her experiences at the front
in Belgium, where she spent some
time on personal invitation from the
Queen of that country, and urged
her listeners to give their active serv-
ice and support not only to the Red
Cross work for America but to con-
tinue their relief work for the allies
where the present need is actual and
desperate. At the close of Miss
Spencer's talk the first and last verses
of the Star Spangled Banner were
sung, led by Mrs. Herbert T. Mid
dleton. At Miss Spencer's request
copies of the bulletin issued by the
Surgical Dressing Committee were
distributed to the CLUB members and
guests before the party broke up al
four thirty.

Canadian Rockies
At Public School

Prof. Appley gave another of his
Illustrated lectures at the
Palisade Public School on Wednes-
day evening to a rather small audi
ence, mostly school children. His
subject was the Canadian Rocky
Mountains, and as usual Prof Appley
led his audience through the mazes
of a most wonderfully rugged, pic
turesque and sublime country. The
Canadian Rockies, he says, surpass
any mountain scenery in the world.
The night before he lectured in Fort
Lee to over 400. He is a happy
talker, natural, interesting and force
full.

Mass Meeting For
Red Cross Assc.


Much interest was manifested in a
mass meeting held in the Grandview
firehouse, Fairview, Monday night,
for the purpose of organizing a
branch of the Red Cross Society in
that place.
Many of the townspeople, includ-
ing women, attended the meeting and
after lengthy discussion it was de-
cided to petition the New York Of
ficials of the Society to make the
Fairview branch permanent one.
AS soon as the petition has been
approved by the officials a meeting
will be called to further the work
George Schulz, jr., acted as chair
man of the meeting and j. Edgar
Dransfeld was appointed temporary
secretary.

ALL IS WELL

Model Finds That After Her
Beauty Is Faded by Illness
She Is Not Desired
BY JEAN M'LEAN.

She opened her eyest to the dim
light that was sitting in beneath a
lowered shade. She felt a sense of
heaviness about her limbs and a
sickening sensation in her head as
she tried to raise herself on her ell
bow. With q sigh of pain she drop
ped back on the pillow and lay
quiet.
Gradually her eyes began to make
out different objects in the room.
The narrow white iron bed in which
she was lying, the plain little chair
over in the corner, the oak chiffon
ier, and the white bed table. 1t was
all pitifully grim, as are all hospital
rooms, and the hot tears began to
we'll up in her eyes and roll down
her white cheeks.
She remembered 1t all now. She
had been a model in one of the
dressmaking establishments. Celeste
was no different from anyone else
she was kind to her girls while they
filled her requirements of beauty
and personal attractiveness, but ILL
ness was a thing not to be dealt
with, and a girl falling i'll was in
stantly replaced by another and left
to shift for herself.
The girl remembered that last
day, when she had stood for hours
having new creation pinned on her
figure. Then she had walked out
on the platform and had tumbled
in little heap, crushing the delicate
chiffons and crumpling the real lace,
which was feature of the new

Weak and i'll as the girl was, a
thrill of interest throbbed suddenly
through her. She obeyed his conf
mand and caught her breath as she
looked into his. eyes again. What
kind eyes they were, the eyes of a
man she could trust. Suddenly she
felt as though she could forget the
burden of living and wait, and she
smiled a little tremulously.
That's right, he said, smiling
in turn and now you listen to me.

summoned an ambulance and had
had the girl taken away.
Since then everything had been a
jumble of pain, whispering words
and long dark nights when, half
conscious, she would try to remem-
ber. Now she remembered every
thing, and she wondered what she
could do when it would come time
to leave the hospital. Work was
difficult to find in large city. The
girl had walked the streets for many

days before Celeste. taken with her
red hair and fiawless skin, had given
her a position.
Someone opened the door softly
and came in. Whoever it was came
around to the front of the bed and
the girl looked right up into the kind
eyes of a large man, who peered at
her With eyes half hidden behind
tortoise trimmed glasses.
II thought you'd be awake this
afternoon" he said. and his voice
was soothing and low. "We'll soon
