Mr.. ard Mrs. R. L. Neubert,
in their usual hospitable manner,
entertained the Neubert-P Palmer
bridal party with a six O'Clock
dinner Tuesday, November 9th.
The entire loves floor of the
beautiful Neubert home was
thrown open to the guest and
was appropriately decorated with
chrysanthemums and ferns.
The Thanksgiving idea was car
cied out in the decoration in the
dining room. For the table, a
centerpiece Of miniature turkeys
was formed and a large bowl of
fruits and flowers tied with yell
low maine rested gracefully in
the center. The guests were
treated to q seven course dinner
which was fautlessly served.
For two hours they sat and en-
joyed it after which they went
to the church where they re-
hearsed for the wedding for the
following evening.

which We were indeed thankful.
Among the things that were
served was baked turkey with
dressing, cranberry sauce, suited
crabs, oyster omlette, potato
salad, fruit salad, stuffed eggs,
stuffed olives, pimento sand
wiches, hot chocolate, ambrosia
and fruit cake. We had all
kinds of fruits including cocoa
nuts. The mess hall was dec
Grated with flowers and ferns
and at a desirable cadiences on
the wall hung U. S. flags and
rifles. Lieut.. Killingsworth acted
well his part as toast master and
it was in every respect the most
enjoyable ccasion since leaving
the Free State.
Well it seems that the British
are doing their bit at present
and if they continue to go as
they have we are not going to
get to take a very active part on
the other side of the pond. I"
However, the supposition is that
we will sail in about 16 weeks
from the time we arrived here.

country.

We have about $4,000 men
here at present and it is said
there will be at least 80, 600 when
the camp is filled to its capacity.
Practically all the boys have
taken advantage of the bill pass
ed by congress pertaining to in
surance for soldiers and sailors.
We are permitted to take as
much as $40. 600 each. At pres
ent about 100000 worth has
been taken by our company and
a number of the boys have not
as yet been permitted to apply

Letter from Camp Beauregard

Camp Bcauregard, La.
Dear Editor:
Since our last letter we have
been saddened by the death of
another one of our soldier boys,
Private James R. Mobley. He
was i'll for one week before he
died. Mobley was one of our
very best soldiers, always cheer
full and happy. He was never
known to violate any vow he
made as a soldier. We feel very
much the loss of this man. We
have lost a good soldier and a
friend. We extend to the be-
reaved family the profoundest
degree of sympathy, and trust
that all our lives shall be as the
life of this man. That our
friends can feel that when we
have at last served Our time that
we can again be mobolized with
him around the great white
throne one great company OF
christian soldier.
We are still under quarantine
for meningitis. However, no
more new cases have developed.
and we have about ceased to
feel any uneasiness in that re-
|spect.
About half of our company is
in the detention camp for mumps
and they are having a swell
time" believe me. Our friend
Corporal Berry has expanded
more in the doam than any one
else and the doctor is of the
opinion that his head will never
acquire it's normal condition
again. His tent mates, however,
would not at all regret this in
some respects.
1t might be Of interest to the
many friends of Sergt. Crawford
to know that while he and the
Company Mascot (Midnight)
were gone to the bath house One
cold night last week, they unin-
tentionally stepped outside the
guard line and on trying to re-
turn in the dark were halted by
the sentinel and forced to stand
at attention from $50 p. Nj.
until reveille the next morning.
Their costume consisted Of q
pair Of bed room slippers, bath
robe and 2 smile.
