Some of the ladies of our neighbor-
ing cities have adopted a novel and
attractive way of raising money for
Red Cross work. It is in the form of
a series of parties and the plan is
that the first hostess entertains eight
guests for an afternoon or evening;
then the rule is that each of these
guests will entertain eight more
guests, and that each of the latter
guests will also entertain eight guests,
seVenty-three parties. The
entertainment is whatever the hostess
plans, but a social afternoon while knit
ting for the soldiers, is undoubtedly
the most popular mode of occupying
the time just at present. Each hostess
can serve light refreshments. Each
guest on each occasion gives % cents,
which is contributed to the Red Cross
fund. The parties are all to be given
within stated time, but as there are
only eight guests, it would be an easy
task for each hostess and a pleasing
and interesting way of doing our bit"
