IMPORTANT RED CROSS MEETING.

1 of the Delaware County Chapter O
the American Red Cross was held a
Keckler's restaurant at Manchester
on Friday, May 25th. A delightful
| luncheon was served, after which /,
| timely and vital address was made b.
Dr.. Perry, OF Chicago, who is one o
the in0rtant officers of the Contra
division.
DR.. Perry took away with him ;
check from the local chapter for s2.O79
which will be used mainly in recon
struction and relief work in Europe
It is great satisfaction that the chap
ter can contribute, for the Citizens O.
Delaware County, this amount, fol
such worthy purpose, and a double
satisfaction that it can be contributed
through such an efficient organization
as the American Red Cross.
The public health nursing service
maintained by the local chapter was
highly commended by DR.. Perry. in
private conversation the doctor told o1
the death of his only daughter, about
nine months ago One of the best
specialists in Chicago attended her
When he announced that she could not
live a week, he took occasion to state
that if the girl had been examined by
public health nurse, when she was
in the grades at school, her death
could easily have been prevented
Plans were considered at the meeting
on Friday, both to continue and en-
large the nursing service in Delaware
County.
The report of Miss Richardson, who
has been serving as secretary Of the
work in behalf of ex-seryice men and
their families in. Delaware County,
showed that splendid work has been
accomplished. Hundreds of ex-sol-
diers have been helped in various ways
However, the work of this nature has
been so nearly completed that Miss
Richardson will serve only one-half
of her time during July and August
On Sptember first her office will be
vacated. Ex-service men who have
matters pertaining to insurance, trav-
ell pay, clothing, service buttons, etc.,
that have not been adjusted, should be
careful to see Miss Richardson before
September first.
With the hearty approval of Dr.
Perry, the local chapter is considering
the employment of an executive secre-
tary of social work for Delaware
County.
1t is felt that an expert in social
activities would be very useful in all
of the communities of the county
There are many things to be done
which, 1t seems, no one else can find
time to do. The needs of the county
are being carefully considered by the
local officers, and such an expert may
be employed for time in the near fn-
ture.
The local chapter is perfecting its
Disaster Relief organization, flood OF
disaster of any kind in Delaware coun-
ty, the full resources of the Red Gross
would be available at once.
There was an encouraging attend
ance at the luncheon of members ,ol
the Red Cross branches scattered thru
out the county The organization thai
proved so useful during the war, now
hopes to be equally useful among the
civil population in times of peace.

Fourth of July

Day of glory! Welcome day!
Freedoms banners greet thy ray;
See! how cheerfully they play
With thy morning breeze,
On the rocks where pilgrims kneeled
When the tyrant's thunder peeled
Ger the trembling seas.
God of armies! did thy stars
On their courses smite his cars;
Blast his arm and wrest his bars
From the heaving tide?
On our standard, low! they burn,
And, when days like this return,
Sparkle Ger the soldiers urn
Who for freedom died.
God Of peace, whose spirit fills
All the echoes Of our hills,
And the mtrmur OF our rills,
Now the storm is DER,
o let freemen be our sons,
And let future Washingtons
Rise, to lead their valiant ones
Till there's war no more!

Eoot Comfort.

Many housewives think that because
shoe is old ii Is comfortable, and
they save all their worn shoes for the
house. Loose shoes with worn off
crooked heels are the most uncomfort-
able things for the feet. And who
needs to be more particular about this
than the housewife who is on her feet
the greater part of the day? House
work should have its own shoes just
like tennis or dancing. Many women
like the fiat soled tennis shoes. not
the sneaker" variety, but those with
the fiat, broad heel. Others find a
high shoe with medium heel offers
more protection to the feet. Others
again take to sandals on the assump-
ton that pressure is half the cause Of
tired feet at night.

the pattern in the goods. There are
some skirts with side plaits and a
few with ACCORDION plaits, but the
shallow inverted plaits are much more
popular than any others just at present.
Silk skirts are nearly all plain and
gathered in at the waistline. Pockets
real or simulated-are managed in
many different ways. Belts are made
of the same material as the skirt and
fasten anywhere-at the front, side
or back according to the fancy of their
wearer. Large flat buttons, singly or
in pairs, are used on them and serve
to finish off the pockets. The skirt
pictured in blue and white striped
baronet satin tells the story Of the
style and it is worn with n white
wolfe and lace-trimmed waist.
