Island Scenes of Entertainment for
Men in Service over Weekend.

With an extra day for entertaining,
the Kenosha women workers whose
war work" over the weekend con-
sists of assuring the visiting men in
service pleasant day in Kenosha,
found the usual places of good whole
some amusement for the men in uni
form well attended. The calendar for
this week proved to be the longest in
the history of Kenosha's new T'war
work" and the fact that the boys APP
preciate all that is being done for them
has been demonstrated many many
times. The newest demonstration is
that which came in the form Of invi-
tations to fifty Kenosha girls, who have
tiTelessly worked to entertain their
visitors every week, to attend dance
at the Guild Hall on Wednesday even
ing, given by Jackie Club at Camp
Logan. The men will bring their own
music and entertainment for the even
ing and for the time being will turn
tables and receive the girls as their
guests. The girls have all been invit-
ed and are waiting with a great deal
of interest the coming event.
Saturday and Sunday as well as
Monday, the men in uniform, mostly
blues and whites, poured into the city
on every train and the many events list
ed in the Great Lakes bulletin proved
an outlet for the majority.
At Dunmovin, fifty Jacks accepted
the invitations proffered them at the
information bureau now firmly estab-
hshed at the electric station, and spent
the day at wonderful picnic ON the
spacious grounds of the Cooper summer
home. OF course there were basket
lunches, games galore, and last but not
least, plenty of girls to help entertain
the men in Kenosha
At the bathing beach similar party
was enacted in the pavilion, follow
ed by a corn roast and basket supper
on Jacobs Island.
AT the Country Club the girls were
busy teaching enterprising Jacks how
to dance while at Oddfellow s Hall,
the Rebekah girls entertained a fine
assembly of uniformed men at most
delightful tea canoe. Those IN charge
of the many affairs feel certain that
with the host of attendants at every
affair almost every Jack in Kenosha
was entertained Saturday afternoon at
one place or another. Saturday even
ing the regular dances ait the Canteen,
Country Club and Guild Hall were
marked successes as usual and the
hostesses We're pleased to see a familiar
face among their guests, for many
Of them keep their promises and
"eome again.
Sunday, the Country Club was
crowded all day in spite of the fact
that machines were lacking to bring
the boys out to the grounds.
The rain Monday spoiled tbs Labor
Day municipal pavement dance that
had been planned to take place on
DurHee avenue in the evening, but the
affair was transferred to the Guild
Hall where in record time hundred
or more girls were assembled to enter
tain the somewhat disappointed Jacks
who came in to town specially for the
novelty Of the advertised pavement
dance. However, the Guild Hall dance
made a splendid substitute and in spite
of the rain the men in uniform had
their promised entertainment.
1t is estimated that, counting the
army men who stopped in Kenosha on
their way TO the south with army
trucks, over eight hundred men in serv-
ice were entertained in one way or an
other by local hostesses. This is Ger
tainly an enviable record for Kenosha.
