nO YOU know, I think it's going to be
very interesting next Monday after
noon at the Independence Square Auxiliary
OF the Red Cross You see. the talk Is to
be a bit different from the usual ones.
Not that they have not been interesting.
Far be 1t from me to say that. They have
been simply great all year. Most Of them
have been given by takers from the war
zone. however, and this next talk is to be
given by one who has not been abroad
since the war started. but who has been
industriously working for her country here
by following all the food commissions laws
to the letter and by working out recipes
and ideas which will make unpalatable
things seem just as good as the veriest
dainties ever served when roasts cost only
twenty-five cents a pound and the finest
sirloin steak could be bought for twenty
Ave cents instead Of the prices of today.
She can tell US how to make honey taste
like the very best sugar. and bread made
with substitutes better even than the reg
ular wheat bread
What Ia more, this lady in question car
ries out all this in her own household for
Il is none other than Mrs. Charles NJ. Lea.
who is a member of the State food commits
sion and who has worked untiringly for
that commission since the war started.
Mr. and Mrs. Lea have that beautiful
farm out at Devon. You remember II was
finished just about a year before the war.
Katherine Lea was introduced into society
out there the fall before our country en-.
tered the war.
Mrs. Lea has done simply wonderful
work and has Travelled all through the
State and talked to the women about COZ.
serving food. Mrs. Lorimer has asked her
to speak to the workers on Monday after
noon and it is an especially appropriate
time for her to DO so, as the sugar ration
10 soon to be held to and the meat ration
as WE'LL
And IL we can learn how to teach our
maids to conserve as well as our families
we will be doing very we'll, don't YOU
think? I am very interested In the talk,
m l should think most women would be.
Oh, my gracious goodness! Now you know
for cure that Nancy is a woman.
TNs interesting to hear of the marriage
ofNirgina Bonnaffon to Herman Frank

r. F., which took place at Old Point Com
her parents. issued the Improvements.
You see. Colonel Bonnaffon, of this city, is
her grandfather and Pay Director f. w.
Bonnaffon. U. s. NJ. and Lieutenant Colo
mel s. Bonnaffon, Sd, U. S. A.. are both
uncles of the bride.
In fact, the bride of last Saturday, for
that. was when the wedding took place,
had an ancestor an oficer in every war
in which the United States has been en-
gagged. including the Revolution. 1t seemed
rather fitting. therefore, that the wedding
should have taken place as 1t did in the
little chapel near Fortress Monroe.
The ceremony was performed by the
post chaplain, the Rev. Walter Marvin.
and 1t was very beautiful affair.
TT WAS too bad. wasn't it, that Major
Lloyd was called to Washington the
very night that the Hepburns gave such a
beautiful dinner for him and Mrs Lloyd?
You see. he Is going "over there" as a
major judge advocate general. and there
were evidently some instructions to be
given to him in Washington, and so in
spite of the dinner and congratulatory
guests he had to 60 down there.
However, the dinner went off very well
and I'm sure his ears burned, for the fine
things that were said OF him in his absence
were many. 1t was not case of I've
got to go, be merciful to me-" was It?
Il SEE Jack Bell Is going to have his
1 father for best man. do think that
custom. which started few years ago, is
one OF the dandiest ever knew. After ALL
who 10 a better chum than a mans father,
and doesn't he always want his very best
friend to be his best man? Well. there
you are. 1t always makes me want to
bang a man on the back and say:
More power to you. young fellow. You
know who's your best friend!"
The ushers at the Bell.Baker wedding
for you know Jack is going to marry
Sarah Baker tomorrow. will include Thorny
Baker, cousin Of Sarahs; Lieutenant
Ethan A. H. shipley. Captain John B.
Thayer, Sd, and Captain Barclay McFad-
den. The wedding is to take place in ST.
