CHRISTIANITY

seems to have taken the fancy Of sOcie
ty women interested in the Red Cross
and tickets are being sold rapidly.
This is only the beginning Of a ser

~ ATRIOTISM still holds full swing
over Salem society and matrons
= and maids are devoting the great
er part of their time 10 assisting in the
Red Cross work or planning benefits
for the splendid work of the society.
There is work a-plenty for everyone,
and many women who have not known
what it was 10 sit still for two eonsee-
utive hours at a task now find il pleas
antly restful 70 do so.
The Red Cross eenters are a haven
of social recreation, of relaxing work,
of sympathy and neighborliness. We
men are learning here to be democratic
and to see the beauty of service.
The aim of the women, the one con
certed purpose it would seem, is to be
useful in some way.
Each wants 10 do her bit, and the
humblest work does not appal her.
During the past few weeks, there
has not been as much entertaining as
usual, but still plenty to keep one
thinking that life is sweet privilege.
From now on there probably will be
a deluge of benefit affairs, as society
women interested in our relief work
know full well how to take advantage
of the keen zest for merriment, which
at this time of the year seems more
than usually eager for hospitality.
There however, will be such a diver
sity of entertainment offered that no
one will want to resist the appeals,
which no one has the mind to do, be-
cause the liveliest affairs of the sum
mer will be its benefits, and everyone
is willing to do his or her share.
At the residence of Mrs. NJ. f. Brev-
man, bridge will be given on Wednes
day afternoon, for the benefit of the
American Red Cross society.
The Thursday bridge club auxiliary
of the Red Cross is sponsoring the af
fair which will bring together more
than 90 prominent matrons.
