U. ID. c. Meeting
The regular monthly business
meeting of the u. ID. C. was held at
the home of one of their most faith
full and devoted members, Mrs. A. A.
Winner, yesterday afternoon. 1t was
feared that the attendance would be
small owing to the downpour of rain
early in the afternoon, but "every
cloud has a silver lining" and before
the meeting adjourned, the sun was
shining brightly, and the attendance
was unusually large, fully thirty be-
ing present.
The regular routine of business
having been concluded, the war saw
ing campaign entered into by the
chapter was thoroughly discussed. Six
workers alone have sold $500 worth
of war savings stamps. The members
of the chapter pledged themselves as
a body to enter more heartily into the
work of the Red Cross and expect
from now on to devote their time and
energies to this important work.
Little Miss Matte Belle Cameron
delighted the guests by reciting most
charmingly a pleasing little recita.

disagreeably surprised when he dis
covered we were not about to feast on
pound cake.
