Lovely Shower for Miss White.

One of the most charming affairs
of the season was the miscellaneous
shower given Wednesday afternoon
by Mrs. ]. F, Folk at her home on
Midway avenue, in honor of Miss
Edith white, a popular bride-elect.
The parlors were beautifully deco
rated, yellow and pink being the col
ors used. Handsome ferns, pink
blooming begonias and marigold add
ed an artistic effect to the scene,
which was mellowed by the soft glow
of lights with yellow shades. In all
the rooms notices on the walls eau
tioning silence greeted the eyes of
the guests as they were received by
Mesdames Frank Folk and Miles
Black. The guests were ushered to the
punch bowl, presided over by Misses
Myrtle Black and Adelaide Chandler,
in silence, everything that was said
being in whispers.
When the bride-elect entered there
were some "ahs" and "ohs' aloud;
for all those who made these express
sions fines were imposed to be paid
in wishes for the bride. Mrs. H. N.
Folk sang because Love You," and
Mrs. Laurie Smoak sang I'm the Gar
den With Nary substituting ed

songs the bride-elect was seated in

Through the Junior Red Cross the
boys and girls Of the United States

They have set, up orphans homes in
France, school colonies in Belgium and

american RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit in a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross Almost all of the
$500 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the Purpose Of Rural Serv-
ice is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress OF
both children and adults play q big
part.
Recreation is found to be one Of the
biggest needs in rural life. There Is
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Pienicg psgeants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people Of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried On under the guidance Of Red
Cross raral workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
Az a result Of community organiza-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose Of bringing their community
up to the msst enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
Of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools Of
instruction In Home Nursing, Care Of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreatlonal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort In carrying on the programs Of
the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts, Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object Of the
service is to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

SMELLING OF PARIS.
Fort Mill Man Recalls Dark Days in
French Capital.

Noticing in the Times of last week
the statement that the super-cannon
with which the Germans shelled Par
is during the world war was made OF
pieces of worn out guns, James 7.
Young, of Fort Mill, who was station
ed in the French capital for five
months during the war as a member
of a Washington city company of
the 51st engineers, said that he did
not know how the Germans managed
to put the big gun together, but that
he did know of his own personal
knowledge that shells from it reach
ed Paris. Zone day while | was
stationed in Paris,' said Mr.. Young
a day or two ago, Il heard one or
the super cannon shells coming;
there was no mistaking their pecul-
lar whining noise once one had heard
it. I was crossing the Seine at the
time on one of the many bridges that
span the river in Paris. Looking
down stream I saw the shell fall on
houseboat and cut it as fairly in
two as carpenters could have done.
Ordinarily the shells from this big
gun did no great amount of damage,
but in my opinion nothing that oc-
Cured during the war shook the mo-
rale of the French people as it did.
The destructiveness of the bombs
from the German Zeppelins that were
dropped on Paris was much greater
than that of the super-cannon shells.
I saw in that city all that was left
of a fve-story building after a. Zep-
pelin bomb had exploded in it. An
ticipating Zeppelin raids, the roof OF
the building had been plastered with
several feet of concrete, but when the
bomb fell on the roof it went through
the concrete as easily as one can
puncture a piece of tissue paper and
did not stop until it reached the
floor of the third story. There 1t ex-
ploded. The three upper stories OF
the building were literally carried
away. The most destructive explos-
ion that occurred in Paris during the
world war, however, wiped out the
big hand grenade factory there and
besides claiming hundreds of lives
wrecked a big section of the city. In
every direction from the factory
building for several blocks were COM
pletely ruined by the explosion, which
occurred only few days before the
Germans began their last big drive
on the western front. Many believ-
ed that the explosion was caused by
German spies, but no one connected
with the factory lived to explain any,
thing about the cause of it."-Fort
Mill Times.
