LIBERTY RED CROSS MEETS.
Visitor Gives Report of Miss Anna
kirkpatrick's Engagement
Announcement.

This Red Cross society was invited
rather informerly September IL, l
judge to meet at the home of Mrs. A.
G. Smith. Fortunately for the writer.
| vas an old acquaintance of Mrs.
Smiths and was urged to attend.
Quite a crowd gathered and although
a little air of mystery seemed hang
ing all about, all were jolly and time
flew rapidly. Mrs. Smith was ably
assisted by her sisters, Misses Flor
ence and Anna Kirkpatrick. While
waiting for some belated guests, a de-
licious punch was served. Then came
the sisters three, each bearing great
glass trays filled high with long-stem-
med rosebuds. To each bud was faS-
tened a cupid. One lady received also
a tiny note containing the announce
ment of the engagement of Miss Anna
kirkpatrick to Mr.. Thoreson, a drug
gist, in Idaho. The mystery of way
so many arrow pierced hearts had
been used in decoration, was solved.
Congratulations and good wishes Were
abundantly showered on the bride-to-
be and the moments did not drag,
But another call comes to visit the
dining room where a generous and de-
lightful lunch was served. We are
very loath to go but the stars are out
in the sky and the housewives have
hungry families at home clamoring for
supper, so with more expressions o!
good will and thanks to our hostess
we say good night.
Visit Number Two, Sept. rs.
Two weeks and one day later, the
Red Cross again met. This time with
Miss Emma Freeman. When all arc
arrived, the dining room is thrown
open and all are hidden to come il,
one at a time. A ladies Bazaar? No,
a shower for the bride. The room was
pretty in its pink trimmings, pink be-
ing a favorite color of Miss Annals,
From the ceiling hung streamers OF
pink which were caught up around the
side walls. Pink roses graced the
table. From end to end of the room
a line was fastened and it was literally
! covered with beautiful conceits IL
fancy and useful needlework. Perhaps
# some had not been accompanied
with real genuine original poetry
bright and witty which required in
slant appreciation, we might all have
had a real heart shower. as eyes, wcr,

In the days before women
caught the larger vision of their

often. Women never thought of
their time as having a money
value. But it is different today.
Women now know their time is
worth money.
Usually it requires from 10 to
