Tale No. 8, 999
Nailed as False
BY Red Cross

The story Of sweater which was
turned into Red Cross headquarters
has been told in many towns This
story is now being retailed in Keokuk
and neighboring towns, as having hap
pened at the Keokuk Red Cross chap
ter This is the story:
A lady brought sweater that she
had knitted for her son who was in
service to the Red Cross shop and
asked that the Red Cross send the
sweater to her son for her. A week
later this lady met young man on
the street. wearing the sweater she
had knitted. Stopping him, she ask
ed IL the sweater was his, and where
he got it. He replied that he had
bought the sweater. Feeling sure it
was the sweater she had made for her
son she asked him to let her examine
it. Under each arm was sewed a five
dollar bill. This proved to her it was
the sweater she had turned into the
Red Cross.
This story was told by Fort Madi-
son woman to a clerk in a local store,
who innocently repeated it, to a War
saw women who has told the story
broadcast in Warsaw. This story has
been traced down and the Keokuk
Red Cross chapter absolutely denies
any such thing having happened here.
This could not have happened, be-
cause no sweater has ever been ac-
cepted to send to an individual. Every
sweater turned in to the Keokuk Red
Cross chapter is recorded on the books
and consigned to the central divis-
ion Of the A. r. G. in Chicago, and dis
tributed by them to the troops in ser.
vice.
Warning is hereby given to tale
bearers whether innocent or mali
cious, that the American Red Cross
has the federal authorities behind it,
and these authorities will prosecute
any bearers of such malicious lies.

they looked at it, both declared it

while every one else who has seen it
declares, as I do, that it is the perfect

turn him from his own baby. This

Insist that your husband take baby

THICKENED BROWN GRAVY.

Brown gravy, thickened, is usually
made by adding reasonable amount
of boiling water to the gravy which
has cooked out Of the meats, then
thickened with a little flour, mixed
to a paste with cold water. Season.
ing is then added. Pan gravy consists
of using the gravy in the pan, with
out any thickening. You have no
doubt noticed that roast beef affords
a good deal of pan gravy. If rich, a
very little water may be added, but
it is, always best left just as it cooks
out of the meat. In frying chops,
pan gravy is mostly served.

of fat or butter, 1 tablespoonful of
flour, 1 cup of stock, salt and pepper.

BREAKING HIS PROMISE TO CALL d
81 waited till the twilight
And yet he did not come;
I strayed along the brookside
And slowly wandered home"

In police society such a thing as
mans breaking an engagement to call
on a particular evening is seldom
heard of. If some unforeseen, unpre-
ventable circumstances arises that de-
tiers him from keeping his engage
ment, he telephones. telegraphs or
sends a note of explanation by spe-
cial messenger. This is exactly what
he should do. Yet there are men, and
well-to-do men at that, who snap their
fingers at etiquette's requirement,
making an appointment with a young
girl to call upon her, having no intein-
ton of keeping the appointment, Whhl
uttering the words.
What a young girl confiled to me
recently on this subject caused me
much serious elaboration. She is a
pretty girl, in a department store. She
said:
"A few weeks ago, I was introduced
to a young man of fine family and po-
sition. He paid me marked attention
the entire evening, escorting me home
from a friends house. He fingered at
the door, even after I had thanked
him for seeing me home and had said
goodnight May 1 have the pleasure
My home was not fitted to receive
callers. I answered that I would be
glad to let him call, if he could let me
know in advance, which would mean
making sure that I would be home.
Suppose we make it Sunday after
noon, around five o'clock he suggest
ed. I much preferred that the time
should be set for evening. Of course,
l could not say so. You will have to
invite him for dinner said mother.
There was a great upheaval in our
fat during the week that followed.
Much was done to make our home APP
pear at least comfortable and cozy in
the eyes of this rich young man. We
were obliged to take from our rent
money we had saved to purchase food

for our dinner. Mother declared there
was nothing like giving a man a fine
dinner to put him in good humor. The
afternoon arrived. Five o'clock came,
six, seven, eight, still he did not put
in an appearance. Then I burst into
tears at the great expense I had put
my folks to, and the family sat down
to the belated feast. I never heard
from him from that day to this
There's more Of that sort of thing go
ing on than you would believe. If you
can draw the attention Of a certain
class Of young men to it, you would
help many girl, Miss Libbey."
The class of young men who break
such promises do not do so deliber-
ately, I am glad to say. They are
simply thoughtless. The promises are
made on the spur Of the moment 1t
does not occur to such men that the
young women will be put to any ex-
pense on their account. Afternoon
calls should be from 2 to a. or 4:30 at
the latest. Evening calls suit the ma
jority of girls better. There is no
worry or expense attached to them.
