SOCIETY ITEMS
Social Gatherings of the Past Week
In Wausau and Vicinity
For Pilot Readers.

IlIHeS. ne SeaSOHs however, was nat
-urally not as gay this year as former
i ~. To be sure, there have been many
small gatherings besides the larger
ones, but the inevitable knitting nee
dies have clicked gayly through the
festivities. Now we have settled back
to earnest work. The young students
from colleges and boarding schools
have returned to the daily routine
of their tasks, while the khaki clad
lads and blue jackies, at the termina-
ton of their short furloughs, have
gone back to their camps and stations
to go on with their work for Uncle
Sam. The year 1918 has opened and
time moves on, but the air is charged
with deeper thoughts and nobler as
pirations while we do our bit, not for
/ our own little circle, or our Wausau,
but for uor country.
