THE WOMAN WHO FORGETS
THE PEOPLE BEHIND HER
Has SO Much Spare Time That She Wastes Most of Noon
Hour for Some One Else

TNfiE long line waiting in front of the
u information window in the station
at the noon hour was keenly interested
in n woman near the head of the slow b
moving procession, who seemed to be in
great hurry. She gave the impression
that her train was ready to pull out at
any minute and that she must find out
about something most important before
rushing off to get aboard Every time
the crowd moved forward step she at
tempted to make it two steps by bump
ing up close into the person ahead OF
her.
At last, to the relief of all who were
watching her, and almost every one IN
line was. she reached the window. With
n sigh of relief she settled her bag upon
the floor beside her, placed her arms
comfortably on the counter ana re
marked affably to the busy, hurried
clerk behind the window, Il want a
timetable, please"
"Where to, madam he asked
briskly.
"The South" she replied unbutton-
ing her glove and consulting her wrist
watch.
"Wel, the South is pretty big
place, madam. What part of the
South?'
ooh, Maryland. was the absent
minded answer. as she set her watch
by the big station clock.
Where in Maryland?'
"Why, Baltimore" she exclaimed in

tone. And she got her timetable
Clasping her glove carefully and pick
ing up her bag, she moved off unhur-
riedly, leaving some dozen or two irate

the porter that there must be another
chair that she can have, in spite of his
repeated assurances that there is not,
while the crowd behind her vainly tries
to get past her TO the fast disappearing
seats in the day coach beyond?
| wonder if she ever gets picture
of herself-the woman who keeps the
line waiting, who powders her nose at
the lunclf counter while the business
woman waiting to take her place con-
tinues to wait? And if she does, does
she see herself martyr to people be-
hind her who try to make her hurry?
I'm sure she doesn't see herself
through the darkenef glasses of those
whom she keeps waiting. In fact,
doubt whether she sees herself at all
she just sees the woman she thinks
she is.

Many of them were business people

five minutes before train time to find
out something absolutely necessary to

them could squeeze out any kind

wasted their time because she had
plenty of her own TO spare?
If one of them had followed her they
would no doubt have seen her get half
way through the gate to the train at
the head of another long line before
she remembered that she had to show

Sunday evening and serve little
informal supper without the aid of a
maid. This delightful way of having
a friend or two to sup with you when
the family is at home will appeal to
the busy housewife and will delight
the family.
The guest may be some old cronie
of fathers or perhaps some friend
of Toms or Ethel's or an old school
mate of mothers, who may wish to
meet the family when they are to-
gether, and right here let me sug-
gest to the mothers that this Sun
day-night supper is a splendid means
of knowing the friends of your boys
and girls, for you must realize that
it is the real ambition of each boy
and girl to have their chosen friends
dine with them.
1t will also give the housewife a
splendid chance to know just who her
children's companions are. And if
you will introduce some of the little
Nniceties that go a long way to lend
elegance to the humblest table you
will not only teach your children
that unpurchasable commodity,
nice table manners, but the young
people will naturally avoid making
friends with undesirable companions
or those whom they would feel
ashamed of in their own homes and
at their own tables.
The chafng dish and the casserole
dish may be featured at these little
informal meals with great success
and this can be made time to teach
daughter how successfully to make
attractive Sunday night suppers.

STREET WORK IN LEWIsBURG

With the brick piled along Main
stree: the County Court now has a
large force a. work tearing out the
imperfect macadam surfacing done
here some years ago, in order to pave
Main street with brick from the
Methodist Church on the east to the
northeast Corner Of the Seminary lot
on the west. This is a section of the
Midland Trail for the permanent
Improvement of which the tax-pay-
ers OF Lewisburg district, including
the town, voted bonds about years
ago. This work has been greatly de-
layed on account of the failure OF the
contractors to comply with their con-
tract. due largely to the impossibility
Of getting labor even at the high cost
of it prevailing during the war and
which even yet is very high. When
this job shall have been completed
the Main street of Lewisburg will be
as nicely paved as the streets OF any
town in the State. Mr.. PEBBLES, late
of Nitro, has charge of the working
force while Engineer Frank X. RAIDER
is superintcnding the job.

for Armenian and Syrian Relief.
Greenbrier County has been asked
for 100000. So far contributions
are not being made as they should
be for such deserving purpose.
These war stricken, long persecut-
ed people are starving for the want
Of food to sustain them until they
can become self supporting About
Four Million Souls, four hundred
thousand Of whom are orphan child
rem are daily looking for the bread Of
life.
Surely the people, of Greenbr!er if
they can but realize the pitable and
heart rending condition of these wor-
thy people, will not fail to contribute
their part for their relief. For men.
women and children are dying over
there, dying for the lack of sums
that seem pitifully. miserably small.
We may have given to other caus-
es, bought Liberty Bonds, ETC.. but l
don't believe the time has yet come
when the people Of Greenbrier will
refuse to give to save the lives Of
starving children.
II you, in any part Of the county,
man, woman or child, have not con-
tributed. don't neglect nor put off do
