Social Happenings

stopped to chat for twenty minutes or
so just as if they bad met accidently on
Main street corner in Kenosha, and
had plenty to tell each other in their
few minutes conversation.
There was SO much to relate, down
at the Country Club, with the dazzling
lights Of the dance room shooting
through the open doors and windows in
streams across the lawn, the music float
ing out, the familiar strains interrupted
by peals Of light spontaneous laughter.
Lieut.. Mcdowell lifted his Drowned
head with something like sigh Of con-
tentment. For just few days, he was
back in the old life, with nothing but
his uniform with its gold v stripes on
either sleeve, and his memory, to remind
him that he had come away from almost
years battling with the Hun.
Then he went back to his story. do
you know he said said, and he sat up
suddenly as he spoke, this war is
teaching our boys wonderful lot that
they didn t realize before. One of my
men came to me not long ago and said
he wished that he had finished high
school instead of going to work. And
he wished that he had also goneS>to
college. The boys are beginning to
wake up to the advantage of an educa-
tion in every phase Of life. Some Of
them can go pretty high without it, but
there always comes time, sooner or
later when they wish ardently, that
they had not been cutters In some
branches Of the army there are techni-
calities, mathematical or otherwise, that
even the brightest kind Of lad is up
against If he hasn' Il had trig or higher
mathematics. The men In the Engineer
| ing Corps are largely college men,
Lieut. Mcdowell is just bit anx-
ious about his future. Like Lieut.. Gil
bert Lance, he will be assigned to a
new division in some American camp,
but he hash II the least idea where it is
going to be. However, he left this
afternoon for Camp Mead, Maryland,
to get his final Instructions.
His many friends, as well as his i'm
mediate family, are sincerely hoping
that during the time he is to be in
America, and that time may be short,
he will be stationed near enough to
his home to warrant frequent visits.

A desirable residence, which come

into a dwelling house, and is now the

RED CROSS FIRE.

Friday, September 18th is the day
that the Knitting Department wishes
to send out the last box Of socks from
the great quota that was received some
six weeks ago. The central division, at
the time, sent enough white yarn for
1890 pairs of socks and up to date OF
the 1900 pounds Of yarn given out, 1900
pairs have been returned. Kenosha
has had such a glorious reputation for
turning out her work on time, at the
central division, that it is going to be
bit embarrassing for the officials to
delay the shipping for more than two
weeks. For this reason, knitters are
urged to get their socks in by Friday.
+ II Il
Forty sweaters knit from the beau
tiful soft grey yarn, are still due at
the Red Cross rooms. Those having
sweaters Of this yarn are requested to
return them as soon as completed as
they are holding up q whole box which
cannot be shipped because Of them.
If Kenosha sock knitters would like
to see just how much socks will shrink
when washed, they should call at
the Red Croos rooms and ask the Of
ficials to show them the sock sent from
France by Kenosha boy who wore it.
The sock cannot fail to convince every
woman of the necessity of knitting
loosely and on large needles.
+ r
It is just bit discouraging tc the
officials to know that in wonderfully
patriotic Kenosha, there are women
who knit only when they are seen do
ing so. There is yarn out that has
been out for year and those who took
it in good faith, have probably used it
only FOR concerts or any other public
festivity when they could be seen knit
ting. But these women are few, the
officials are glad to announce and
memory Of them in the years to como
will be smothered by the pleasant
memories Of the Kenosha women,
thousands Of them, who so constantly
and faithfully have helped in the de-
partment.
