LINEN SHOWER 10 mss HUNTER

L
The home of Mrs, Jno. Rucker, at

of very merry gathering on Tuesday
last, when N"Lineu Shower" was
given in honor Of Miss Lila Hunter,

the lovely lawn was veritable
fairyland, all decorated in white and
red.
As the guests entered they were
given tiny red heart shaped bags Of
rice on which they were supposed to
dream. These were fortune bags and
dreams on them were sure to come
true.
Much merriment was caused by the
cutting of the lovely cake, from which
fortune fell to each one. Then there
was q shooting contest. A large red
heart was the target and each guest
tried his skill with bow and arrow.
After the laughter over the efforts Of
the marksmen had subslded, the bride
elect was conducted to bower under
the trees, beautifully decorated In
white and red tulle, with large red and
white chrysanthemums. As she sat
on the lmprovised throne Masters
Charles Graves and Claude Clarke
pulled ribbon and she was showered
with rice from the tree above. Then
from the back of the lawn was heard
the sound Of 21chiidren's voices and
there was seen approaching ship
all red and white, drawn by six lit
tie boys dressed rs sailors, viz: Will
lie and Douglas White, Bob Graves,
Jr., Lanius Durbin, Thompson and
George Clarke, Jr. Beside the ship
danced FIVE little fairies-Elizabeth
Clarke, Edna May, Cecile Marion,
Annie Laura Graves and Mary Kate
Skinner-singing as they came, while
the queen, little Adele Hunter, stood
in the prov.
When the ship came In the cargo
was found to be made up OF many
lovely gifts for the bride, bearing with
them the hearty good wishes OF all
those who were present, and sttesting
the popularity of the fair young
honoree.
After the gifts had been opened,
delicious refreshments were served
by the following school girls: Misses
Marian White, Evelyn and Mildred
Hunter. Hattie Pske, Dorothy Skin
ner, Camille Buelow, Wealthy Clarke,
Fay and Elizabeth Seaman, Alice Dur
bin and Cora Rucker. The punch bowl
was presided over by Mrs. Randall N.

AIRPLANE CLOSES MOVIES"
AT BEER SHEBA.

Of the many odd happenings dur
ing the course of the war, perhaps the
oldest and most difficult to believe,
although it is vouched for by the As
sociated Press, is suspension of bust
ness by the moving picture theatre in
Beer Sheba because of the "pernici-
Gus" activity of the British airplane
fleet operating in Palestine.
The movie" bears the pretentious
name of "Hotel Abraham" it's pro-
prietor being inspired by desire, no
doubt, to commemorate an event in
local history, and has specialized in
war-pictures. The tall masts of a
wireless station tower high over this
oasis on the borders of the Sinai
desert, and the movie" has not lacked
patronage, Beer Sheba enjoying great
er prosperity, because of the war,
than ever before in its history. Brit
ish airnen have been making night
ly raids upon Abraham's ancient
country seat, and the authorities de-
cided that this movie paradise made a
shining target which was of great
help in placing successful hits. They
therefore ordered the place closed,
and thus with one stroke of the pen,
deprived the bohemia" Of Beer She

JEWISH SOLDIER LEARNS"

prints the following interesting ex-
tract from the diary of Jewish
soldier serving in Hungary:
For the past three days we have
been pursuing the Roumanian
enemy. Yom Kippur morning dur
ing the Schachrith prayer we were
compelled with heavy hearts to
close our machserim and place them
in our haversacks for the cry

across hills and through valleys,
through forests and villages without
stop.
"On the third day we were per-
mitted to rest. I, however, went to
look for a place where to daven
schachrith. In little street in the
village which I reached the signs OF
Roumanian Freedom could be
seen. Doors and windows were
shattered, the furniture broken and
Uttered in front of the houses. At
(. the door of an empty store | noticed
a mezuzzoh. In a corner of the
store | found shreds of talith COW
cred with the torn leaves of He
brew book. l picked up the leaves
and found them to be pages OF a
Gemarah Pesachim. Deeply moved
and with love I fondled these pag-
es. I forgot everything; the reason
of my coming was forgotten and the
destruction around about me was
no longer in my mind did not
hear the cannonading of the big
guns. I became again the Talmu-
dist. L thought that I was sitting in
the Yeshibah and began learning a
blatt Gemarah in the we'll known
sad sing-song melody. My hunger
was gone and I immersed myself in
the intricacies of the Gemarah.

would have lasted, had not another

the army was marching on. Full OF

give here a brief summary Of the
clauses that affect Russians, and in
this case especially Russian Jews,
who are by far the majority of Rus
slams in this country. In the rather
stilted language of the official same
tactics are among the non Jewish
announcement the chief clauses are
as follows: A convention has been
made under the Military Service
conventions with allied states) act,
1917, between the British Govern
ment and the Provisional Govern
ment Of Russia providing that Brit
ish subjects of military age in Rus
STA and Russian subjects of military
age in this country shall either re-
turn to their own country or serve
in the army of the country in which
they reside. The convention was
laid before Parliament on July 10.
Notice is given that any male
Russian subject of military age who
desires to return to Russia may ap-
ply, within twenty-one days from
July Is, at the police station where
he is registered under the Aliens
Restriction (Consolidation) Order,
1916. No application can be made
after August 9, and no application
made before August 9 can be with
drawn after that date
Arrangements have been made for
conveying direct to Russia those
who wish to go, and any man who
applies to return to Russia must
= be ready to start at any time after
August Is. An applicant who fails
to leave on notice will at once be-
come liable to service in the British
army, and will have no right of ap-
plication to a tribunal for exenp-
ton. The government cannot un-
,dertake the responsibility of con-
veying women or children by sea
to Russia. Men returning to Rus
STA should arrange for the main
tenance of their dependents.
Russian subjects who remain here
will come within the Military Ser
vice Acts as if they were British
subjects ordinarily resident in Great
Britain on the making of the neces-
AIRY Order in Council about August
20. Before the thirtieth day after
that date any Russian who has not
applied to return to Russia may ap-
ply to tribunal for exemption from
military service. On the thirtieth
day every male Russian subject be-
tween the ages of eighteen and
forty-one who has not satisfied the
conditions as to return to Russia
will be deemed, subject to the statu-
